INNOVATIVE HYBRID FRP/STEEL SPLICE DETAILS FOR MODULAR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS

Bridge expansion joints are directly subjected to traffic load, and thus prone to premature fatigue failure. Replacement of components such as modular bridge expansion joints is typically done in a staggered schedule to minimize traffic blockage. Field splices are used to connect the successively in...
