The Impact

Many research studies have been conducted on the effect of impact loading on structures, and design procedures were proposed for reinforced concrete (RC) slabs; however the availability of these studies and procedures are limited for prestressed slabs. The proposed research will examine, using numerical analysis, the impact of rock fall on prestressed concrete slabs with equivalent moment capacity reinforced concrete slabs. It is expected that prestressed concrete slabs will have different behavior to resist impact loading compared with traditional reinforced concrete slabs. The thickness of the prestressed concrete slab will be 25cm whereas that of the reinforced concrete slab will be 30cm. The impact loading consists of 500Kg drop weight. The drop height will be 10m, 15m and 20m.The structural analysis is performed using a Finite Element program "ABAQUS". A comparison will be done between both slab types in terms of failure mode, damage, and deflection. It has been found that both slabs failed in punching. However, the RC slab performed better than the prestressed concrete slab with respect to the value of the deflection at mid-span, while both showed punching shear mode of failure.

The results of a study funded by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program are presented. The first objective of this study was the development of a database for all 211 highway bridges along I-55 in the New Madrid region of southeastern Missouri. Profiles for five key dimension parameters (which are stored in the database) were developed, and the results for concrete highway bridges are presented. The second objective was to perform field ambient vibration analyses on 25 typical highway bridge spans along the I-55 corridor to determine the fundamental vertical and lateral frequencies of the bridge spans measured. These 25 spans included six reinforced concrete slab spans and two reinforced concrete box-girder spans. The third objective was to use these bridge frequency results in conjunction with the dimension parameters stored in the database to develop empirical formulas for estimating bridge fundamental natural frequencies. These formulas were applied to all 211 Interstate highway bridges in southeastern Missouri. Profiles for both fundamental vertical and lateral frequencies were then developed, and the results for concrete highway bridges are presented.
