Time-Dependent Analysis of Long-Span, Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Arch Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridges have gained popularity over the last decades for use in long-span applications. At service conditions, these bridges are influenced significantly by the time-dependent ... -
Blast Load Effects on Highway Bridges. I: Modeling and Blast Load Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Numerous terrorist events during the last decade, including the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, have heightened concern about the safety of bridges during intentional/unintentional blast load effects. Analysis of ... -
Blast Load Effects on Highway Bridges. II: Failure Modes and Multihazard Correlations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Bridges with different seismic design levels and concrete compressive strengths have been analyzed for three levels of underdeck blast loads. It is observed that there are several other damage modes besides failure of ... -
Increasing Girder Elastic Buckling Strength Using Split Pipe Bearing Stiffeners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Warping restraining devices can result in substantial improvements in the girder elastic buckling capacity; however, calculating this increase can be complex. This paper presents a simplified method to evaluate the increase ... -
Examination of Self-Compacting Concrete Options for Marine Bridge Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper presents details of the 2007 novel repair of a RC marine bridge that involved removal of concrete cover on each of the bridge’s seven crosshead beams and subsequent replacement of the cover with one of five ... -

Microsimulation Evaluation of Eurocode Load Model for American Long-Span Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The ability to accurately predict traffic loading is essential for cost-effective bridge maintenance and repair programs. The traffic load model currently used in the United States for the design of long-span bridges was ... -
Determination of Impact Force History during Multicolumn Barge Flotilla Collisions against Bridge Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The collision of barge flotillas against bridge piers is a design scenario that often controls the design of bridges that span navigable waterways. Current design approaches vary significantly in their assumptions and ... -
Redundancy and Robustness in the Design and Evaluation of Bridges: European and North American Perspectives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In this paper, current and proposed methodologies for assessing the robustness and redundancy of bridge structures are discussed and an overview of the latest advances in research is presented along with proposals for ... -
Plain Pile Embedment for Exterior Bent Cap Connections in Seismic Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Four full-scale exterior bent cap connections utilizing plain pile embedment were evaluated for suitability in seismic regions. A self-reacting test setup was used to investigate the special case of reverse axial tension ... -
Experimental Behavior of Steel Fixed Bearings and Implications for Seismic Bridge Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Steel fixed bearings are commonplace structural elements for transmitting loads from superstructures to substructures, and they have typically occupied a role of elastic force transfer elements within the overall scheme ... -
Curvature Monitoring of Beams Using Digital Image Correlation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A method for measuring longitudinal strains with the height at a section, and thus the curvature, using a technique based on digital image correlation (DIC), is presented. The background to this technique is introduced as ... -
Reconceptualization and Optimization of a Rapidly Deployable Floating Causeway
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)There is an increasing demand for rapidly deployable causeways that can provide access from ship-to-shore for military and disaster relief operations. Existing systems have major limitations including only being transportable ... -
Identification of Vehicular Axle Weights with a Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System Considering Transverse Distribution of Wheel Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A modified two-dimensional (2D) Moses algorithm for acquiring the field-calibrated influence line (IL) of an existing bridge is presented, based on strain data acquired continuously at a high scanning rate with calibration ... -
Comparative Study of the Proportions, Form, and Efficiency of Concrete Arch Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This article presents a comparative study of 55 concrete arch bridges built over the last century. For each bridge considered in the study, section properties and geometrical ratios were determined and compiled into a ... -
Influence of Traffic Loading on the Seismic Reliability Assessment of Highway Bridge Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Traditionally, the impacts of traffic and earthquake loading have been considered independently when assessing bridge reliability. This paper presents a framework for joint seismic and live-load fragility assessment of ... -
Seismic Performance of Conventional Girder Bridges in Moderate Seismic Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The majority of continuous girder bridges in regions of moderate seismicity were designed before the introduction of modern seismic codes that prescribe seismic design verification for such structures. The objective of ... -
Conceptual Design of Superspan Partial Ground-Anchored Cable-Stayed Bridge with Crossing Stay Cables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)As the span of conventional cable-stayed bridges reaches 1,200 m or longer, accumulated horizontal force components of the stay cables cause huge axial pressure in the girder, leading to sharp increases of girder dimension ... -
