Determining and Validating the Three-dimensional Load Path Induced by Arching Action in Bridge Deck Slabs
In this thesis, a load path caused by arching action in reinforced concrete slabs is described and validated using a three-dimensional model. Currently, the CHBDC enforces a 4 meter girder spacing requirement in the design of deck slabs. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the load path induced...
