GUIDE FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEAR-SURFACE

MOUNTED TITANIUM ALLOY BARS FOR STRENGTHENING 202
0
CONCRETE STRUCTURES, 1ST EDITION
Item Code: NSMT-1-UL
This guide provides design and construction recommendations for strengthening existing
reinforced concrete structures with titanium alloy bars (TiABs), using the near-surface mounted
(NSM) construction method. The overall approach and organization of the guide are based on those
presented in ACI 440.2R (ACI, 2017). Design recommendations provided for shear and flexural
strengthening are based on and adapted from the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
The recommendations are supported by experimental and analytical research, as well as field
experiences that have demonstrated the application of TiABs for strengthening full-scale specimens
typical of bridge girders. The available experimental evidence includes the influences of combined
high-cycle fatigue and environmental durability on the structural performance of NSM-TiAB
strengthened girders. 2020. 50 pp.
