• Abstract:
  Under the coverage of Project 0-7041, a comprehensive research initiative was undertaken to develop and validate the NextGen Texas bridge deck system. The research endeavors encompassed a multi-phase approach, combining rigorous experimental investigation with advanced nonlinear finite element analysis. The primary objective was to evaluate the behavior and performance of the full-width partial-depth panels under various loading conditions. Three major tasks were addressed within the project framework: construction testing, service testing, and long-term behavior analysis. These tasks were meticulously designed to assess the feasibility, structural integrity, and durability of the NextGen Texas bridge deck system.
