Inverse Estimations of Dynamic Stiffness of Highway Bridge Embankment from Earthquake Records
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In this paper, the dynamic self-optimizing inverse method (Self-OPTIM) has been proposed to inversely estimate model parameters by using structural responses under dynamic loadings such as earthquakes. The proposed dynamic ... -
Shear Design of RC Bridge Deck Slabs according to Eurocode 2
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In order to coordinate the design of RC structures all over Europe, the new Eurocode has been implemented in all member states. In Germany, for example, the unified codes with their national annexes are exclusively valid ... -
Slab Cracking Control in Continuous Steel-Concrete Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of various casting techniques used to control slab tensile stresses during the construction of continuous steel-concrete composite bridge decks. The main features describing ... -
Finite-Element Analysis and Load Rating of Flat Slab Concrete Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)A significant portion of the nation’s aging bridge inventory consists of flat slab concrete bridges. Many of these bridges were constructed in the middle third of the 20th century, and although they are in generally good ... -
Structural Performance of Precast/Prestressed Bridge Double-Tee Girders Made of High-Strength Concrete, Welded Wire Reinforcement, and 18-mm-Diameter Strands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents the development of high-strength precast prestressed double-Tee girders for bridge construction. These girders use high-strength concrete (103 MPa), Grade 550 welded wire reinforcement, and 18-mm-diameter ... -
Portable and Rapidly Deployable Bridges: Historical Perspective and Recent Technology Developments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Portable and rapidly deployable bridges are critical for providing access routes for troops during military operations and for restoring vital lifelines for communities affected by large-scale disasters. This paper reviews ... -
Blast Loading Effects on an RC Slab-on-Girder Bridge Superstructure Using the Multi-Euler Domain Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Recently, increasing terrorist threats on bridges have illustrated the vulnerabilities of this type of transportation infrastructure. Because of cost and safety constraints, it is impractical to obtain the complete structural ... -
Combined Shear and Bending Behavior of Joints in Precast Concrete Segmental Beams with External Tendons
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Precast concrete segmental bridges with external tendons are becoming widely constructed all over the world. The main objective of this study is to obtain a further understanding of the behavior of joints when they are ... -

Fragility Analysis of Retrofitted Multicolumn Bridge Bent Subjected to Near-Fault and Far-Field Ground Motion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper focuses on the fragility-based seismic vulnerability assessment of retrofitted multicolumn bridge bents. Fragility curves are developed to assess the relative performance of various retrofit methods under both ... -
Predicting Strand Transfer Length in Pretensioned Concrete: Eurocode versus North American Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Prestressing strands are commonly used in pretensioned prestressed concrete bridge construction. Transfer length is an important parameter for structural design. This paper presents a comparative study on strand transfer ... -
New Structural Joint by Rebar Looping Applied to Segmental Bridge Construction: Fatigue Strength Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The objective of this research has been to design, develop, and evaluate experimentally a modified type of construction joint of limited length between concrete slab segments. The design concept is based on an anchorage ... -
Santiago Calatrava’s Alamillo Bridge and the Idea of the Structural Engineer as Artist
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The structures of Santiago Calatrava are noted for their adventurous forms, and Calatrava is heralded as a hybrid architect/engineer whose works represent an integration of both disciplines. While there have been a number ... -
Creep Effects on the Reliability of a Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Arch Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The deterioration and ageing process make the reliability of bridges a time-variant problem. However, most studies about time-dependent reliability focus on material corrosion and damage, less attention is given to the ... -
Efficient Approach for Reliability Assessments on Aeroinstability of Long-Span Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Probabilistic evaluation on aeroinstability of long-span bridges is a practical requirement because the aeroinstability behaviors of a bridge are seriously affected by structural uncertainties and wind fluctuations. In ... -
Laboratory Load Tests and Analysis of Bailey Bridge Segments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents the experimental work of two full-scale Bailey bridge segment load tests. The Bailey bridge segments were tested using a 130-t Universal Tester. The midspan deflections of panel assemblies were observed ... -

Influence of Dynamic Properties and Position of Rivulet on Rain–Wind-Induced Vibration of Stay Cables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper combines an experimental study and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to investigate the influence of dynamic properties and position of upper rivulet on rain–wind-induced vibration (RWIV) of stay ... -
Experimental and Numerical Assessment of the Three-Dimensional Modal Dynamic Response of Bridge Pile Foundations Submerged in Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper describes an experimental program conducted to investigate the effects of fluid-structure interaction on the modal dynamic response of three reduced-scale bridge pile foundations submerged partially or totally ...
