Abstract:

The primary mission of the Structures Laboratory is to conduct experimental studies to determine the behavior of bridge components and full-size bridges. Data from these studies are used to improve the national bridge design specifications and to improve the safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of bridge construction in the United States. The development and evaluation of advanced high-performance materials and systems - e.g., high-performance steels, high-performance concrete, fiber-reinforced polymer composites, and adhesives - is a major focus of the current research program. The laboratory also investigates structural failures that occur in service to determine the cause of failure and to develop practices and procedures to prevent similar failures anywhere in the Nation.
