Abstract: A formula proposed earlier for limiting the weight of trucks is evaluated for its effect on continuous‐span bridges. The critical weights of various typical vehicle configurations are calculated for several representative ...

Abstract: The performance of a recently constructed welded steel water‐storage tank, believed to be the largest of its kind in the world, is monitored for thermal and live‐load (internal pressure) strains during initial filling. The ...

Abstract: The writers performed an examination of glass damage in a localized downtown Houston area due to the effects of Hurricane Alicia. Indications are that the glass damage occurred even though the windspeeds in the area were ...

Abstract: The process of designing a typical simply supported girder for service loads is well established. However, the fact that the girder will be suspended by cables during the erection phase affects the safety of the girder. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a decision‐support system for selecting the best set of strategies (projects) for bridge rehabilitation and replacement on a highway network, specifically during a long‐range planning of the bridge ...

Abstract: A one‐dimensional model for predicting the structural response of continuously reinforced concrete (CRC) pavement due to increasing temperature and alkali‐silica reaction (ASR), considering slip between concrete and ...

Abstract: A formula for limiting truck and combination vehicle weights is proposed. The proposed formula gives the maximum allowable gross vehicle weight as a function of extreme axle spacing, and is intended to replace the existing ...

Abstract: An analysis based on linear and nonlinear finite element computer models of headed anchor bolts epoxied in place in hardened concrete is presented. Two failure theories, the maximum tensile stress criteria and the Mohr‐Coulomb ...
