9521652 Demers This project will demonstrate experimentally and analytically the feasibility of strengthening and retrofitting steel girders in composite steel concrete bridges with epoxy bonded carbon fiber laminates. To upgrade the flexural capacity, carbon fiber plates or tapes are epoxy bonded to the girder tension flange. For retrofitting, this material is epoxy bonded to the girder tension flange which may contain pre-existing fatigue cracks. Three beams will be tested under static loading to determine the flexural strength of a composite section of concrete deck, steel girder, carbon fiber tape, and epoxy. This will investigate: Fatigue strength in the positive moment region with pre-existing fatigue cracks; fatigue strength as a function of applied stress range; classification of fatigue strength according to the AASHTO's Standard Categories; and the ability of retrofit to arrest fatigue crack growth. This project is a joint effort between the University of Arizona and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. All full- scale tests will be conducted at the University of Arizona. The coupon tests will be performed at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The analysis of results and development of guidelines and methodology for application of this technique will be performed by the investigators at both institutions. ***

9521652 Demers该项目将通过实验和分析证明用环氧树脂粘结碳纤维层压板加固和改造钢混凝土复合桥梁中钢梁的可行性。 为了提高抗弯承载力，碳纤维板或带是环氧树脂粘结到梁张力翼缘。对于改造，该材料是环氧树脂粘合到可能包含预先存在的疲劳裂纹的主梁张力法兰。 三根梁将在静态荷载下进行测试，以确定混凝土桥面、钢梁、碳纤维带和环氧树脂的复合截面的弯曲强度。 这将调查：具有预先存在的疲劳裂纹的正弯矩区域的疲劳强度;作为施加应力范围的函数的疲劳强度;根据AASHTO标准类别的疲劳强度分类;以及改造以阻止疲劳裂纹增长的能力。 这个项目是亚利桑那大学和伍斯特理工学院的共同努力。 所有的全面测试将在亚利桑那大学进行。 试样测试将在伍斯特理工学院进行。 两个机构的研究者将对结果进行分析，并制定应用该技术的指南和方法。 ***
