Abstract: This paper reports on the implementation of a relatively novel scour monitoring system that includes the ability to record substructure response to potential changes in scour conditions. The substructure instrumentation ...

Abstract: One of the key assumptions in inelastic design is that members have adequate ductility to allow moments to redistribute. However, while AASHTO specifications contain moment redistribution provisions for steel I-girders, ...

Abstract: While it is well known that slender girders have less ductility than their compact counterparts, this reduction has not been explicitly quantified. This results in limitations on the use of slender girders, and consequently, ...

Abstract: Although the majority of uncoated weathering steel (UWS) structures are performing well when designed and maintained in accordance with existing recommendations, exceptions to this trend exist. Additionally, the guidance ...

Abstract: Recent research has culminated in the development of moment redistribution design and rating procedures based on a “rotation compatibility” procedure. The key aspects of the rotation compatibility method are presented ...

Abstract: A better understanding of the relationships among girder stresses, cross-frame design, and skew angle of two steel I-girder bridges, which have moderate and high levels of skew and differing cross-frame designs, was revealed ...
