Laboratory Tests of Bolted Diaphragm-Girder Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many multigirder steel bridges built before 1985 are experiencing distortion-induced fatigue cracking at diaphragm-girder connections. Fatigue cracks in the welds and base metal in hundreds of diaphragm-girder connections ...
Closure to “Removal of Diaphragms from Three‐Span Steel Girder Bridge” by J. M. Stallings, T. E. Cousins, and T. E. Stafford
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Removal of Diaphragms from Three-Span Steel Girder Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many multigirder steel bridges built before 1985 are experiencing distortion-induced fatigue cracking at diaphragm-girder connections. A means of eliminating the cyclic stresses that cause those fatigue problems is to ...
Field Evaluation of Fatigue Cracking in Diaphragm-Girder Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many multigirder steel bridges built before 1985 are experiencing distortion-induced fatigue cracking at diaphragm-girder connections. In bridges in Birmingham, Ala. fatigue cracks in the welds and base metal in hundreds ...
Laboratory and Field Testing of Composite Bridge Superstructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridge rehabilitation utilizing a hybrid fiber-reinforced polymeric composite has recently been completed in Blacksburg, Va. This project involved replacing the superstructure in the Tom's Creek Bridge, a rural short-span ...
Performance Evaluation of FRP Composite Deck Considering for Local Deformation Effects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We examine here the replacement of a deteriorated concrete deck in the historic Hawthorne Street Bridge in Covington, Va. with a lightweight fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) deck system (adhesively bonded pultruded tube and ...
