Abstract:

High-strength reinforcing steel has been incorporated into design specifications and permitted under certain provisions of concrete building and bridge design codes, highlighting its growing recognition in construction. The employment of high-strength reinforcing bars offers several potential advantages, including reduced reinforcement quantities, cost savings, decreased congestion, and improved workability. Despite these benefits, specific design code provisions still restrict the use of high-strength rebar, and its application in Texas bridges remains limited. This limited adoption arises from the need for empirical validation to bridge the knowledge gap surrounding its practical implementation. This research project aims to address these challenges and promote the use of high-strength rebar in Texas bridge designs.
