RISDiscussion of “<i>Impact Studies on Small Composite Girder Bridge</i>” by Colin O'Connor and Ross W. Pritchard (March, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 3)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “<i>Risk Analysis of Fatigue Failure of Highway Steel Bridges</i>” by Nur Yazdani and Pedro Albrecht (March, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 3)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “<i>Comparison of Bridge Rating Methods</i>” by David R. Schelling and Chung C. Fu (July, 1984)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Reliability Calibration of Bridge Design Code
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current AASHTO design loads were developed more than 40 yrs ago based on truck traffic in operation in that period. The code, however, has produced safe designs despite the vastly increased legal loads and reduced ...
Closure to “<i>Lateral Distribution Factors for Highway Bridges</i>” by Baidar Bakht and Fred Moses (August, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 8)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “<i>Proposed New Truck Weight Limit Formula</i>” by Ray W. James, James S. Noel, Howard L. Furr and Francisco E. Bonilla (July, 1986, Vol. 112, No. 7)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Calibration of Bridge‐Strength Evaluation Code
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The process of determining the live‐load capacity of existing bridges is distinct from the design procedure, which is necessarily generalized for applicability to a large variety of structures. Such a generalization may ...
Identification of Failure Modes in System Reliability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reliability of framed structures is studied assuming loads and component strengths are random variables. The incremental load model is extended to semibrittle failure of components. For brittle component failure, an efficient ...
Lateral Distribution Factors for Highway Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) methods of lateral load distribution in bridges, because of being too simplistic in basic assumptions, have been found to be unrealistic ...
Effect of Changing Truck Weight Regulations on U.S. Bridge Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Historically, truck weight regulations have maintained controls on axle and gross weights with legal load formulas based on limiting allowable stresses in certain types of bridges. These stress limitations do not usually ...
