Seismic Analysis of Bridges: Simplified or Refined Approach
This paper discusses the differences of seismic responses of bridges among various analysis methods and approaches....
Dynamic Loading of a Rigid Frame Bridge
The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamic response of a rigid frame bridge to two trucks (side by side) passing over the rough bridge deck. The rigid frame bridge is designed...
Corrosion Resistant Epoxy-Coated Reinforcing Steel
Research conducted in the 1970s to evaluate and develop criteria for nonmetallic coatings to protect steel reinforcing bars embedded in concrete bridge decks from the corrosive action...
A Study of Jointless Bridge Behavior
The pressing need for maintenance free and low construction cost bridges, has increased the interest and activity in building integral or jointless bridges. The investigation of the behavior...
The Normandie Bridge
The Normandie Bridge will have one of the longest cable-stayed spans in the world, i.e. 856 m long. This paper briefly describes the design of the bridge, with the concrete access spans...
Wind Studies of the Owensboro Bridge, Kentucky
Wind tunnel studies on the Owensboro Bridge are described in this paper, including 1:50 scale sectional model tests and 1:160 scale aeroelastic model tests. Comparisons are presented and...
AISI-FHWA Model Bridge Test
The Model Bridge Study involved a large experimental test program to evaluate the behavior of a 0.4-scale model of a two-span continuous plate-girder bridge with modular precast prestressed...
Design and Field Performance of a Metal-Plate-Connected Wood Truss Bridge
This paper describes an on-going study on the design and performance attributes of an experimental wood-truss bridge. This is believed to be the first roadway bridge application of metal-plate-connected...
Bridge Condition Rating Using Fuzzy Sets and an Eigenvector of Priority Settings
A simplified methodology for combining the condition rating of the various elements of bridge components (deck, superstructure or substructure) is developed using a multi-attributive decision...
