On the Inelastic Design of Steel I Girder Bridges

by Karl E. Barth,
Jennifer Righman,
Donald W. White,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Structures Congress 2005: Metropolis and Beyond

Abstract:

This paper documents the development of a relatively easy to use set of effective plastic moment expressions and compares the performance of these equations with a series of experimental tests. The paper then details simplified inelastic design procedures that may be used for the analysis of continuous span I girders with compact webs, compact, noncompact, or slender webs, and with L_b ? L_pd. Lastly a design example is presented and a comparison is made between a mechanism based effective plastic moment approach and a rigorous inelastic solution based on the use of actual M-?_p for a girder cross-section.
