Laboratory Investigation of Grouted Coupler Connection Details for ABC Bridge Projects, Tech Transfer Summary
The scope of work for this project incorporated a laboratory evaluation of full-scale specimens to evaluate the structural performance of a connection detail utilizing grouted reinforcing steel couplers, and specifically the magnitude of the crack width that develops under load and how well the crack closes after removal of the load. Performance metrics included validation of design assumptions related to strength, but centered on the durability of the connection for both short and long-term performance.
