Response Modification Factors for Concrete Bridges in Europe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The paper presents a methodology for evaluating the actual response modification factors ( -
Simplified Procedure for Evaluating the Effects of Creep and Shrinkage on Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges and the Application of European and North American Prediction Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The effects of time-dependent phenomena on concrete prestressed girder bridges are investigated. The study concerns the case of bridges built directly in their final configuration and that of bridges built by a sequence ... -
Transverse Modeling of Concrete Box-Girder Bridges for Prediction of Deck Slab Ultimate Load Capacity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Concrete box-girder bridges are one of the most commonly used bridge types owing to ease of maintenance and economy in construction. However, current design codes do not realistically consider the effects of haunches and ... -
Biomechanically Inspired Modeling of Pedestrian-Induced Vertical Self-Excited Forces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Although many models of pedestrian dynamic loading have been proposed, possible bidirectional interactions between the walker and the excited structure are generally ignored, particularly for vertical vibrations. This ... -

Finite-Element and Simplified Models for Collision Simulation between Overheight Trucks and Bridge Superstructures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Accidental collisions between overheight trucks and bridge superstructures have occurred frequently in recent years. These collisions dramatically affect the safety of bridge structures and traffic systems in metropolitan ... -
Repair of Prestressed-Concrete Girders Combining Internal Strand Splicing and Externally Bonded CFRP Techniques
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Collisions between overheight vehicles and bridges are becoming more commonplace. Collision damage, however, is generally far from catastrophic, although sound repair techniques are critical if additional damage (typically ... -
Extradosed and Intradosed Cable-Stayed Bridges with Continuous Cables: Conceptual Consideration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A new type of combined cable-stayed bridge, named the extradosed and intradosed cable-stayed bridge with continuous cables, is presented to improve the mechanical behavior of the traditional extradosed bridges. The ... -
Shake Table Studies and Analysis of a Two-Span RC Bridge Model Subjected to a Fault Rupture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The objective of this study was to investigate the fault rupture effects on the seismic response of a bridge system crossing an active fault. A large-scale two-span bridge model supported on three bents, one on each of the ... -
Efficient Prestressed Concrete-Steel Composite Girder for Medium-Span Bridges. I: System Description and Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)A new prestressed concrete-steel composite (PCSC) girder system is developed to provide a viable alternative for steel and prestressed concrete I-girders in bridges. The PCSC girder is composed of a lightweight W-shaped ... -
Dynamic Analysis of Multispan Viaducts with Weak Coupling between Adjacent Spans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of multispan simply supported railway viaducts subjected to moving trains. In the analysis, the Sesia viaduct is considered, which is a composite railway bridge consisting of seven ... -
Approximate Method for Transverse Response Analysis of Partially Isolated Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Current analysis procedures for seismically isolated bridges frequently use an equivalent (approximate) linearization approach to represent the response of nonlinear isolation/energy dissipation devices. Linearization ... -
Efficient Prestressed Concrete-Steel Composite Girder for Medium-Span Bridges. II: Finite-Element Analysis and Experimental Investigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In this paper, finite-element analysis (FEA) of the prestressed concrete-steel composite (PCSC) girder is performed to investigate strain and stress distributions in the girder sections and determine the influence of stud ... -
Improved Assessment Methods for Static and Fatigue Resistance of Old Metallic Railway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)A large number of railway structures in Europe are metallic bridges. The increasing volume of traffic and axle weight of trains mean that, for many structures, the loads today are much higher than those envisaged when they ... -
Seismic Fragility of a Highway Bridge in Quebec
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The seismic vulnerability of the Chemin des Dalles Bridge over Highway 55 located in Trois-Rivières (Quebec, Canada) was evaluated through fragility analysis using field- and laboratory-validated models. This approach ... -
Field Validation of a Statistical-Based Bridge Damage-Detection Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper describes a field validation of a second-generation, statistical-based damage-detection algorithm and its ability to detect actual damage in bridges accurately. The algorithm had been theoretically validated ... -
Seismic Fragility Relationships of a Cable-Stayed Bridge Equipped with Response Modification Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper presents the development of fragility curves of a benchmark cable-stayed bridge retrofitted with response modification systems. Fragility relationships are an accepted technique used for seismic risk assessment ... -
Steel Post-and-Beam Barrier with GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Curb and Bridge Deck Connection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper discusses the crashworthiness of prototype steel post-and-beam barriers [Ministry of Transportation of Québec (MTQ) Type 210] whose concrete curb-to-bridge deck connection is reinforced with corrosion-resistant ... -
New Methodology for Calculation of Required Prestressing Levels in Continuous Precast Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The calculation of minimum required prestressing levels in prestressed bridge deck girders is usually governed by serviceability requirements in terms of allowable stress levels. In the case of continuous structures, ...
