Abstract: Steel bridges are subjected to live loads which produce variable stress ranges in bridge components. At welded bridge details, the existence of initial defects and residual stresses eliminate ...

Abstract: This paper is the first of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional stay-cable corrosion protection ...

Abstract: This paper is the second of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional system of portland cement ...

Abstract: Grout mixes using commercially available antibleed admixtures were tested for fresh properties and subsequently corrosion tested using anodic polarization to accelerate the corrosion process. Commercial admixtures that are ...

Abstract: Large amplitude stay-cable vibrations have been observed numerous times in the past few years in two long-span cable-stayed bridges in Texas: the Veterans Memorial Bridge near Port Arthur and the Fred Hartman Bridge near ...
