Abstract: A series of studies on an experimental, full-scale curved steel bridge structure during erection are discussed. The work was part of the Federal Highway Administration’s curved steel bridge research project (CSBRP). The ...

Abstract: A mechanical modeling approach for the simulation of partially restrained (PR, or semirigid) steel and composite connections subjected to any loading regime is described, and verification studies utilizing this approach ...

Abstract: The goal of this study is to design and evaluate simple and rapid seismic retrofit devices for relatively small rehabilitation projects for steel structures. These designs are consistent with the tenets of sustainable ...

Abstract: This paper presents shakedown and plastic collapse test results for a one-third–scale bridge system. The bridge was a three-span, four-girder composite bridge comprising compact and noncompact sections. Experimental results ...
