Effect of Pier Section Reinforcement on Inelastic Behavior of Steel I-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper presents the results of an analytical study on inelastic behavior of a four-span continuous composite bridge girder. The objective is to evaluate the effect of pier section reinforcement on strength and ductility ... -
Analysis Model Verification of a Suspension Bridge Exploiting Configuration Survey and Field-Measured Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The conformity between predicted and actual configurations of a suspension bridge is examined through a field survey with the compensation of temperature effects. The tension in the main cable is estimated from the surveyed ... -
Detection of Initial Yield and Onset of Failure in Bonded Posttensioned Concrete Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper discusses monitoring of bonded posttensioned (PT) concrete elements using the acoustic emission technique. In particular, a statistical pattern recognition technique based on a multivariate outlier analysis is ... -
Nonlinear Analysis for the Lateral Vibration of Footbridges Induced by Pedestrians
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In this paper, the factors and variables that affect the amplitude of the lateral vibration of the footbridge induced by pedestrians in Nakamura’s model are investigated in the aspect of nonlinear dynamics. Nakamura’s model ... -
Structural Identification of a Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Displacement coefficients and profiles have been proposed as objective indexes for bridge structural condition evaluation by many researchers. In this paper, experimental data of the following type were collected for ... -
Stress Analyses and Parametric Study on Full-Scale Fatigue Tests of Rib-to-Deck Welded Joints in Steel Orthotropic Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Fatigue tests of full-scale orthotropic steel decks were recently conducted to evaluate the fatigue performance of rib-to-deck partial-joint-penetration (PJP) groove welded joints. The test results indicated that rib-to-deck ... -
Evaluation of Commercially Available Remote Sensors for Highway Bridge Condition Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Improving transportation infrastructure inspection methods and the ability to assess conditions of bridges has become a priority in recent years as the transportation infrastructure continues to age. Current bridge inspection ... -
Live-Load Analysis of Posttensioned Box-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper presents an evaluation of flexural live-load distribution factors for cast-in-place box-girder bridges. The response of a typical box-girder bridge was recorded during a static live-load test. This test involved ... -
Full-Scale Ultimate-Load Test of a Stress-Laminated-Timber Bridge Deck
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A general assumption reported in the literature is that the structural response of a stress-laminated-timber (SLT) bridge deck is linear until failure. However, few studies of ultimate-load tests (ULTs) on timber bridges ... -
Modeling Structural Performance of Ultrahigh Performance Concrete I-Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced cementitious composite material that has been developed in recent decades. When compared with more conventional cement-based concrete materials, UHPC tends to exhibit ... -
Flexural Crack Widths in Concrete Girders with High-Strength Reinforcement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The introduction of steel reinforcing bars having yield strengths exceeding 517 MPa (75 ksi) and often approaching 827 MPa (120 ksi) may allow for significant economies to be realized, particularly when used in conjunction ... -
Updating Fatigue Damage Coefficient in Railway Bridge Design Code in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Railway traffic volumes in China have increased dramatically with the fast development of the Chinese economy in the past 20 years. The load frequency spectra of bridges have also changed as a result. Therefore, it is ... -
Modeling Structural Performance of Second-Generation Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Pi-Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The concrete-damaged plasticity (CDP) model with proposed material properties replicated the observed deflection and strain responses of three experimentally tested I-girders and was determined to be consistent for different ... -
Determination of 18 Flutter Derivatives of Bridge Decks by an Improved Stochastic Search Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper addresses the determination of the 18 flutter derivatives of bridge decks from three degrees-of-freedom (3DOF) free vibration data using an improved stochastic search algorithm (ISSA) combined with the unified ... -
Experimental Study on Repair Methods of Corroded Bridge Cables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The cables and hangers of old suspension bridges and the stays of cable-stayed bridges often suffer from steel corrosion. It is important to repair them by proper methods to prevent the further progression of corrosion. ... -
Bridge Timber Piles Load Rating under Eccentric Loading Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This study evaluates the load rating procedure that is currently used in rating timber piles supporting multiple-span simply supported bridges. For simplicity, these piles are often rated under concentric loads and the ... -

Response Modification Approach for Safe Extension of Bridge Life
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A large portion of highway bridges in the United States are reaching or have reached their intended design lives. To avoid replacing a large number of bridges simultaneously, methodologies to safely extend their lives are ... -
Framework for Simplified Live Load Distribution-Factor Computations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)The live load distribution-factor (LLDF) equations in the AASHTO-LRFD specifications were developed under National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 12-26. These equations include limited ranges of ... -
Bottom Flange Confinement Reinforcement in Precast Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The AASHTO standard bridge specifications require that nominal reinforcement should be placed to enclose prestressing steel at girder ends for at least a distance equal to the girder’s height. The AASHTO LRFD bridge ...
