Overview of the Guidelines for T/L Structure Loadings
This section introduces a reliability based design methodology that forms the framework for the loading guidelines. A Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) format is presented for the...

Steel Plate Girder Alternate I-10/I-17 Interchange
The scope of the Phoenix I-10 Viaduct allowed extensive study for the optimization of this moderate span steel plate girder bridge. The value engineering studies lead to the use of the...

Prediction of Deformations Due to Heat Curving
This paper summarizes the state of the art in the thermal deformation techniques. Alternate analytical methods are described. The limitations and accuracy of these models are noted, and...

Wind Buffeting of Cable-Stayed Bridges During Construction
Some of the dominant loadings on a cable-stayed bridge during construction are a result of the non-uniform vertical and horizontal gust forces on the deck and the associated dynamic response...

Design of Bridge Piers Against Ship Collision
Design rules for unprotected bridge piers, using uniform safety requirements, are proposed. The selection of an appropriate design vessel is based on a risk assessment model which uses...

Evaluation and Surveillance of Concrete Bridge Structures
A number of cost-effective techniques are available for evaluation and surveillance of concrete bridge structures. The methods covered in this paper include: long-term bridge instrumentation,...

The Behavior of R/C Pinned Bridge Columns under Lateral Loading
Four one-eighth scale one-way hinge details of the type used in highway bridges were tested to study the effect of combined shear and flexure caused by lateral loads. The aspect ratio...

Wind Tunnel Investigation of a Twin Deck Suspension Bridge
Wind tunnel measurements of the response of a twin deck suspension bridge to dynamic wind loads are presented. The investigation was concerned with the determination of the deck response...

Safety of Long Span Highway Bridges Based on Dynamic Response
This paper consists of an analytical study regarding the dynamic response of highway bridges subjected to heavy vehicle loads, with emphasis on long span low fundamental frequency bridges....

Feasibility Studies of Flood Warning-Response Plans
Local flood warning-emergency preparedness plans consist of hardware, technical activities, and formal and informal inter- and intra-organizational arrangements and commitments to performance...

Overview--Committee Report on Dam Safety Guidelines
In November 1984 the Surface Water Hydrology Committee appointed a task committee with the assignment to suggest standards for the hydrologic safety design of dams. The committee report...

Criteria for Spillway Design Floods
The procedures outlined in this paper only address the hydrologic safety criteria for spillway design floods. The recommended procedures are based on a careful identification of the social,...

Cracking of a Tilt-Up Structure Due to Dynamic Loads
The extensive cracking of a tilt-up reinforced concrete structure is discussed. The site investigation revealed horizontal cracks at two feet to seven feet above a mezzanine level which...

Nonlinear Axisymmetric Uplift of Circular Plates
A formulation of a method of analysis of the nonlinear axisymmetric response of the bottom plate of a liquid storage tank under uplifting forces is presented. At first, the plate is assumed...

Unusual Shaped Highrise Buildings in Seismic Zone
The structural concepts, seismic analysis and design of five recent highrise structures are presented in this paper. The paper deals with the problem of multistory buildings having 'structural...

The Design and Construction of the Washington State Convention and Trade Center Over Interstate 5
The Washington State Convention and Trade Center is a 10-level, 1,000,000-square foot facility constructed over Interstate 5 in downtown Seattle. The project spans over three city streets...

Serviceability Limit States in Load Space
Deflection and elastic limit state curves are drawn in load space using a nonlinear structural analysis program. Use of load space simplifies computation of point estimates of serviceability...

Application of Normal Integration Formulas to Bridge Reliability Analysis
Structural reliability analysis often involves extensive integration of complex multivariable functions. Special techniques can be used to reduce this numerical effort. This paper deals...

Optimum Cut-Outs on Plate Stability
Cut-outs are unavoidable in some of the plate components. To minimize the plate weight, in the meantime, to maintain the critical buckling load as high as possible is one of the major...

Stability of Cylindrical Shells With and Without Cutouts and Subjected to Wind Load
The cylindrical storage tanks with and without cutouts are analyzed using nonlinear finite element analysis. All the cylinders are fixed at the base. Two types of cylindrical tanks without...
