Development of Narrow Loop Joint for Precast Concrete Slabs with Fiber-Reinforced Mortar: Experimental Investigation of Material Properties and Flexural Behavior of Joint

In the replacement of the reinforced concrete slab in existing steel girder bridges, a loop joint is commonly used to join precast concrete slabs on site. However, a relatively wide joint is needed, and considerable time and effort are consumed to construct the joint due to the addition of transvers...
