Aerodynamic Stability of Long Span Suspension Bridge—Effects of Stiffening Truss Width
This paper presents the effects of truss width upon the aerodynamic stability of the long span suspension bridge with truss girder up to 2000 m. It was found that the truss width had a...
Reliability Models for Bridge Structures
The development of rational design criteria requires efficient measures of structural performance. Traditional methods of analysis do not reveal the actual safety reserve (degree of redundancy)....
Experimental Evaluation of Performance of Earthquake Restrainers in Box Girder Bridges
Type C-1 restrainers were used in most of the concrete T- and box girder bridges which have been retrofit. Type C-1 restrainers consist of 7-3/4 in. diam. galvanized cables, bearing plates,...
Vertical Response Data from the Dominion Road Bridge Test
In January and February of 1985, two bridges were tested in New Zealand using simulated earthquake loads. The objective was to determine the in-situ seismic response of two reinforced...

Behavior of Plates Under Partial Edge Loading
This paper addresses one of the common problems in designing thin-walled members, the ability of the shape to accommodate in-plane concentrated loads. Specific areas in which the problem...

On the Post-Flutter State of Cable-Stayed Bridges
This paper deals with the post-flutter vibrations of cable-stayed bridges. An approximate theory and an approximate analytical solution method have been established. A numerical example,...
Burlington Cable-Stayed Bridge
The Burlington cable-stayed bridge will carry US34 over the Mississippi River from Burlington, Iowa to Gulfport, Illinois. There will be two 12-ft lanes in each direction plus an acceleration...
New Parallel Wire Bundle for Cable-Stayed Bridges
A parallel wire bundle is described which is twisted with a long lay length. It is corrosion protected by an inner fill and outer coating of polyurethane. It presents a specially shaped,...
Orthogonal Expansion for Beam Variability
A new method for the solution of problems involving random media is proposed. The medium property is represented by a stochastic process. The method makes use of an orthogonal expansion...
Damage Accumulation Models for Bridges
In the study summarized in this paper the serviceability and ultimate limit states were reviewed for concrete and steel girder bridges. A model is proposed to evaluate strength and remaining...
