Preliminary Investigation on Steel Jacketing Retrofitting of Concrete Bridges Half-Joints

An innovative strengthening system for dapped-end beams is studied numerically and experimentally in this paper. The system is developed for the half-joint regions of bridge beams also commonly called “gerber saddles”, but it can be adapted to different scenarios. The strengthening system consists o...
