From page 2...
... Placing horizontal bars through the webs of the girders improved strength, stiffness, and ductility, but the failure mode was cracking of the girders. In a second experimental phase, 50-ft-long Type III AASHTO I girders were assembled into two-span, 100-ft-long, continuous-for-live-load specimens.
