Investigation of Thermal Gradient Effects in the I-35W St. Anthony Falls Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Thermal gradients were measured through the section of the I-35W St. Anthony Falls Bridge, a posttensioned concrete box girder bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, over the course of 3 years. The magnitudes and shapes of the ... -
Health Assessment of a Plate Girder Railway Bridge under Increased Axle Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Most bridges are aging and do not have complete design information. Hence, field testing for the evaluation of the structural performance and health of bridges is becoming essential, but even sophisticated modern structural ... -
Performance of Posttensioned Curved-Strand Connections in Transverse Joints of Precast Deck Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Accelerated bridge construction techniques have resulted in state-of-the-art options that save time and money during the construction of new or existing bridges. One such group of techniques that has generated considerable ... -
Passive Force-Deflection Curves for Skewed Abutments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The passive force-deflection relationship for abutment walls is important for bridges subjected to thermal expansion and seismic forces, but no test results have been available for skewed abutments. To determine the influence ... -
Extremely Low-Cycle Fatigue Tests of Thick-Walled Steel Bridge Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)To study extremely low-cycle fatigue performance of steel bridge structures, a total of nine steel bridge piers with unstiffened thick-walled box sections were tested in this study. The effects of various parameters, ... -
Comparison of Prestress Losses for Pedestrian Bridges Constructed with High-Strength Concrete and High-Strength Self-Consolidating Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Two precast prestressed high-strength concrete and high-strength self-consolidating concrete pedestrian bridges were designed and erected in Rolla, Missouri, for an in situ investigative study to monitor time-dependent ... -

Experimental Tests of Truss Bridge Gusset Plate Connections with Sway-Buckling Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 2007 brought into question the strength of large-size gusset plates in steel truss bridges. To provide new data on the behavior and strength of ... -
Fatigue Life of Piles in Integral-Abutment Bridges: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Piles in integral-abutment bridges (IABs) may experience plastic deformation and low cycle fatigue as a result of cyclic loading induced by daily and seasonal temperature variations. This paper presents guidelines that ... -
Composite Deck Having Transverse Stiffeners Bonded with a Cementitious Adhesive Subjected to Moving-Wheel Fatigue
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents the behavior of a new composite deck system for twin-girder bridges subjected to moving-wheel fatigue load. The one-half scale system consists of a RC slab with transverse rib stiffeners welded to steel ... -
Experimental and Numerical Studies of Nonstationary Random Vibrations for a High-Pier Bridge under Vehicular Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In the current study, the nonstationary random responses of moving wheels induced by road roughness in a time domain were obtained and treated as the nonstationary inputs to study the nonstationary vibration of a high-pier ... -
Alternative Load Paths in Steel through-Truss Bridges: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Conventional design and evaluation procedures usually classify steel through-truss bridges as single-load-path structures; however, their historic performance has demonstrated considerable structural resiliency. This paper ... -
Multiobjective Optimization for Project Selection in Network-Level Bridge Management Incorporating Decision-Maker’s Preference Using the Concept of Holism
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Multiattribute utility functions are widely used for multiobjective optimization of project selection problems in network-level bridge management, based on their capability of incorporating multiple performance measures ... -
Laboratory Testing, Field Installation, and Monitoring of a Silicone Foam Sealant for Bridge Expansion Joints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Bridge expansion joint sealants are used to deter water and corrosive materials from leaking through the joint and damaging the bridge structure. However, problems with leakage from failing joint sealants have been observed. ... -
Sensitivity and Reliability Analysis of a Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents a sensitivity and reliability analysis of a self-anchored suspension bridge by applying a new hybrid method proposed by the authors based on integration of the Latin hypercube sampling technique (LHS), ... -
Design Guidelines for Rapid Repair of Earthquake-Damaged Circular RC Bridge Columns Using CFRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The main objective of this study was to develop a rapid and effective repair method using carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics for earthquake-damaged circular RC bridge columns based on apparent damage states. A ... -
Lifetime Highway Bridge Traffic Load Effect from a Combination of Traffic States Allowing for Dynamic Amplification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Recent research has shown that the dynamic amplification factor (DAF) to be applied to free-flowing traffic-induced load effect may not be as high as previously thought. Therefore, congested traffic states may govern extreme ... -
