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...

Construction of the Clark Cable-Stayed Bridge at Alton, Illinois
The Clark Cable-Stayed Bridge crosses the Mississippi River at Alton, Illinois. The successful bid by McCarthy Bros/Clark Bridge JV was for the steel alternative. The bridge design included...

The Tatara Bridge - World's Longest Cable-Stayed Span
The Tatara Bridge now under construction has the main span length of 890m which will be the world's longest in cable-stayed bridges when completed. Except for certain lengths of prestressed...

Externally Stiffened I-Beam to Box-Column Connections
This paper is concerned with I-beam to Box-column connections stiffened externally. Experimental and theoretical findings on full-scale connection models are highlighted. The performance...

Investigating the Behavior of a Lattice Structural Section
Tests were conducted on a fully instrumented lattice section assembled using various connection types (bolted or welded). The results of this study show that bolt slippage can have a major...

Creep Analysis of Composite Steel-Concrete Members with Deformable Connectors
The long-term analysis of composite steel-concrete beams with elastically deformable connectors is presented. The basic integro-differential equation governing the problem is solved by...

Cut and Cover Construction of the SSC Injector Tunnels
The injector system of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) constitutes the string of tunnels where protons are accelerated to near the speed of light and injected into the main collider...

An Overview of Shotcrete Usage on the SSC
Shotcrete has been widely used on the Superconducting Super Collider for initial support of tunnel excavations in both the strong and weak rock formations encountered. Different types...

Uniform Lateral Load Capacity of Infilled Frames
Three tests were conducted on 2.4 meter by 2.4 meter steel frames infilled with structural clay tile to determine the behavior and capacity when subjected to uniform lateral loads. An...

Dynamic Testing of Unreinforced Brick Masonry Infills
A significant seismic hazard may exist when unreinforced masonry infill panels fall out of their surrounding frames as a result of excessive accelerations applied normal to their plane....

A Peice-wise Linear Evaluation of Masonry Infills Subjected to Out-of-plane Seiesmic Drift
This paper summarizes the out-of-plane testing and analytical modeling of a full-scale unreinforced masonry (URM) infilled frame and a bare frame without infilling. The testing was part...

Seismic Strengthening of URM Buildings with Steel Bracing
Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings with large open fronts are extremely vulnerable to seismic inputs posing serious life safety hazard. Steel bracing systems have been used to upgrade...

Steel-Concrete Interaction by Means of Film Sensors
By adapting a recently-developed technique based on the piezoelectrical properties of relatively thick films made of Polyvinyldifluor organic composites and extensively used in robotics,...

Load Carrying Capacity of SPC Composite Column
This paper reports the result of beam column test of a new type composite columns. High-strength precast-concrete panels (hereafter denoted as PCa-panels) are fixed to the steel square...

Dynamic Response of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Extensive research has been done on the static properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete, but very little on the dynamic properties. A total of 20 beams was tested. The steel fiber...

Cyclical Behavior of Welded Steel Shear Studs
Four specimens of composite steel and concrete beams were experimentally tested to obtain the cyclical behavior of the welded steel shear stud. This information may be used for the analysis...

NDE for Steel Bridges: FHWA Research, Past, Present and Future
Over the last two decades the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has sponsored numerous research and development projects in the area of nondestructive evaluation of steel bridges....

Horizontally Curved Steel Bridge Research-Update 2
Theory and data necessary for the development and calibration of an LRFD based curved steel bridge specification do not presently exist. To address these needs, the Federal Highway Administration...

Current and Future Research in Steel Bridge Structures
The topics I have listed are ones which I am aware through discussions with various researches, designers, and industry representatives. The list of topics is presented as a starting point...

Pre-Engineered Short Span Steel Bridges
The American Iron and Steel Institute has developed a package to aid in expediting the design of short-span steel bridges for use by owners, designers, fabricators, and contractors in...
