TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2172 contains 22 papers that explore grouting materials and methods, barge-bridge collisions, fire hazard in bridges, wind gusts on sign support structures, neoprene bearing pads, retrofit bridge rail, I-girder stability during erection of steel bridges, cast-steel joints for special-shape bridges, erection guidelines for double I-girder systems, and staged posttensioning of concrete bridges. This issue of the TRR also examines bond and anchorage of high-strength reinforcing steel in concrete bridges, flexural behavior of concrete bridges with high-strength bars, inspection of voids in external tendons, structural health monitoring, field testing of a railway bridge, shear and moment girder distribution factors with built-in optical fiber sensor system, crack detectability and durability of coaxial cable sensors, seismic design of a cable-stayed bridge, seismic design of buried structures, effect of bedding thickness on behavior of rigid pipes, oxidation degradation of high-density polyethylene corrugated pipe resin, and fiber-reinforced polymer configuration effect on the reliability of flexurally strengthened concrete beams.
