- Abstract
The article focuses on the effects of transverse diaphragms and the level of transverse post-tensioning using unbonded carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer (CFRP) on the side-by-side box beam bridges. It says that CFRP strands are suitable for prestressed concrete bridges in moderate to aggressive environments. It shows that increasing the levels of transverse post-tensioning forces proportionally increases the transverse strains for all points located along the post-tensioned diaphragms.
