Abstract:

This report presents a two-part research program examining the performance of constructed ; bridges in a cold region, represented by those in the State of North Dakota, and the behavior of ; concrete members strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets. ; For the first phase of the research, 1,328 decks are sampled from a 15-year inspection period. These ; data are statistically characterized and probabilistically analyzed. The second part of the research ; concerns predictive investigations into the axial behavior of concrete exposed to aggressive service ; environments. Two types of concrete cylinders are studied: unconfined and confined with CFRP ; sheets. The aggressive environment and service traffic load are represented by freeze-wet-dry cycles ; with various levels of instantaneous compression load varying from 0% to 60% of the capacities ; of the unconfined and confined control concrete. Research approaches include three-dimensional ; deterministic finite element and probabilistic models, associated with a previously conducted ; experimental program.
