Talmadge Bridge Replacement
This paper discusses the design of the main spans and approach spans for the replacement of the Talmadge Bridge for the Georgia Department of Transportation. The design of the concrete...
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...
Time-related Deflections of Cantilever Bridges
Many prestressed concrete bridges with spans between 100 and 160 m have been built in the Netherlands. The method of construction is the so-called in situ free cantilever construction....
The Slender Tower of 52-54 East End Avenue
The structural system for the 52-54 East End Avenue project is presented. The 40 story residential tower with as aspect ratio of 12: 1 is one of the most slender buildings constructed...
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...
Ambient Vibration Response of a Long Span Bridge
Natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping characteristics for a long-span cable-stayed bridge were experimentally determined from a series of ambient vibration tests for both the cantilever...
Concrete Arch Bridges Using Composite Techniques
Use of composite structure is an advantageous method to construct concrete arch bridges. This paper reports two successful examples of concrete arch bridges of composite construction using...
Superlong Cable-Stayed Bridges
Superlong cable-stayed bridge span is defined as one over 1000 meters. Problems requiring special attention regarding these bridges are discussed, namely: excessive cable sag; high axial...
Time-Dependent Analysis of Nonprismatic Curved PC Box Girder Bridges
The purpose of this paper is to present a step-by-step computer method for predicting the deflection and stress distribution duo to creep and shrinkage of concrete in nonprismatic, curved,...
Vibration of Plates with Corner Stress Singularities
A method of analysis is presented to determine the free vibration frequencies of plates having corner stress singularities. Displacements are assumed in the form of polynomials, and corner...
A Second Order Analysis Technique for Nonprismatic Bridge Piers
An approximate second order method is presented for the analysis and design of cantilever compression members. Prismatic members with nonconstant reinforcement, and nonprismatic members...
Direct Load Cell-Based Weighing Lysimeter System
A low-cost weighing lysimeter system is described which is capable of measuring evapotranspiration with an accuracy of 0.05-0.10 mm. A two-lysimeter system with electronic data logger...
