Experimental Investigation of Shear Keys for Adjacent Precast Concrete Box Beam Bridges

Longitudinal cracking in shear keys is one of the most frequently recurring problems in the adjacent precast concrete box beam bridges. The relative displacement across the shear key (RDSK) under loads has been used as a direct indicator for shear key cracking. Therefore, accurately simulating the i...
