Steel Compression Member Design in the 1994 Canadian Standard
The 1994 edition of CSA Standard S 16.1-M94, Limit states design of steel structures (CSA 1994) contains explicit methods for computing the compressive resistance of monosymmetric and...

Monitoring Stay Cable Forces During Construction of the Natchez Trace Parkway Arch Bridge
This paper describes how cable-stay forces were indirectly quantified through the use of simple field measurements. A system was developed and delivered to the contractor and used to make...

Overweight Trucks and Safety of Bridges
Most states face increasing pressure to issue more and heavier overweight truck permits. Current permit checking methods of many states adopt the AASHTO rating concept with or without...

Towards Structural Strength and Safety Evaluation Within Bridge Management Systems
Bridge management systems being implemented by transportation departments in the United States are limited in their ability to consider structural strength and safety when preparing recommendations...

Comparison of Bridge Deterioration Rates
This paper presents the results of a study of rates of deterioration of steel and prestressed concrete bridge superstructures. The results indicate that age is the primary determinant...

Historical Considerations for New Jersey Viaduct
An Historical Bridge Alternatives Analysis report prepared for New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for Route 1&9 S.B. viaduct in Newark, New Jersey evaluated the options...
