Eric P. SteinbergRecently, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has been utilized in highway bridge connections, where its superior strength and durability help to reduce joint cracking and enhance transverse load transfer. According to the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) bridge design procedure specified by AASHTO, the strength of the connections is dependent on the adhesion and friction between the connected materials. The objective of the present research is to identify the adhesion value between UHPC and high-strength concrete (HSC) with varying degrees of roughness. To this end, UHPC-HSC specimens were tested in direct tension according to ASTM protocols, and the maximum tensile stress at failure was obtained. Test results show that the average maximum tensile stress for the UHPC-HSC specimens with a smooth interface exceeds that determined from past research for any degree of roughness. Furthermore, the average maximum tensile stress increases with the degree of roughness. The results from the dir...

Eric P. SteinbergRecent research on ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) for connection elements in highway bridges indicates an improvement in the performance of the overall bridge superstructure. However, there is limited information on the effect of the material and bond strength of the UHPC on the load transfer mechanism between adjacent box girders. A three-dimensional finite-element (FE) model was developed to study the interface between UHPC and high-strength concrete (HSC) highway bridge connections. The UHPC-HSC interface was modeled using traction-separation, damage initiation criteria, and damage evolution while taking into account adhesion, friction, and the nonlinear material behavior. Material properties were determined directly from laboratory testing, and the interface parameters were identified through model calibration using direct tension test results and friction coefficients reported in the previous work. The model was validated by simulating the laboratory tests conducted at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC), and good agreement between numerical and experimental results was obtained. Finally, numerical simulations of two adjacent box-girder models using the proposed interface parameters and other interface models from past research were compared, and the results highlight the importance of using a high-fidelity model to accurately represent the system behavior.

About Me
Husam H. Hussein, Ph.D., P.E. in Civil Structural, has worked on state, county, and municipal projects. He has performed designs of superstructure and substructure bridge components along with replacement and rehabilitated bridge structures. Dr. Hussein has completed a wide variety of bridges constructed of precast concrete, steel trusses, steel girder/concrete deck, bridge load ratings, and others. Dr. Hussein has worked as a research scholar since his graduation from the Ohio Research Institute for Transportation and the Environment (ORITE) at Ohio University. He received his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in May 2018 in the Department of Civil Engineering at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. He has been serving as an Early Career Editorial Board (ECEB) member of the Journal of Bridge Engineering. Also, he is a member of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Hussein’s research interests are specifically centered on bridge engineering, with emphasis on ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) connection design under static and dynamic loads, along with environmental factors, to investigate UHPC joint performance. Also, his research focuses on the use of synthetic fiber to improve the performance of high-strength and lightweight concretes. Over the last ten years, he has gained research and industry experiences in the three main areas of structural engineering: field research, laboratory techniques, and finite element simulations.
