Abstract: Continuous‐beam bridges may be analyzed in a very concise manner for situations of constant‐flexural stiffness (

Abstract: Ten continuous, rolled‐steel‐beam Interstate Highway bridges containing welded cover plates and welded splices were analyzed for fatigue life according to guidelines issued by the American Association of State Highway and ...

Abstract: Recently recommended guidelines for fatigue design and evaluation of steel bridges employ a truck with an increased spacing between back axles, compared to the standard truck used for strength design. Separate structural ...

Abstract: The effect of long‐term environmental exposure and an extended history of highway loading was quantitatively determined for steel bridge beams that had been in service more than 50 years. Fatigue tests were conducted on ...

Abstract: The Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the United States Air Force Academy has developed a capstone senior level integration experience that blends technical aspects of an engineering design with construction ...
