In order to develop better construction practices for American bridge           engineers, this project will investigate the failure mode and behavior          of the prestressed, segmentally constructed bridges.  The investigation         will include studies of the influence of the stress path and the optimum        epoxy thickness associated with the amount of concrete surface roughness        for various combinations of loads.  The experiments will include static         and dynamic loading patterns.  The objective of the project is to               develop basic knowledge to characterize the stiffness and strength of           the segmental bridge joints.
