Abstract: Temporary shoring supports are used in construction of horizontally curved bridges to help ensure that the final constructed geometry is maintained by mitigating excessive girder deformations. Limited guidance currently ...

Abstract: Special attention is required in the construction of horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges due to coupled effects of primary bending and torsional forces. Misguided steel erection procedures can lead to undesired ...

Abstract: This study examines whether a first-order, linear geometric finite-element static model analysis is capable of accurately predicting the deflection and rotation response of a curved steel I-girder bridge and curved steel ...
