Effect of Temporary Shoring Location on Horizontally Curved Steel I-Girder Bridges during Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Temporary shoring supports are used in construction of horizontally curved bridges to help ensure that the final constructed geometry is maintained by mitigating excessive girder deformations. Limited guidance currently ... -
Flutter, Galloping, and Vortex-Induced Vibrations of H-Section Hangers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Hangers in arch bridges and other long vertical bars in truss bridges are typically slender members and often adopt an aerodynamically unfavorable H-section due to the conveniences in manufacture, construction, and ... -
Fatigue Reliability Assessment for Existing Bridges Considering Vehicle Speed and Road Surface Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)During the life cycle of a bridge, dynamic impacts due to random traffic loads and deteriorated road surface conditions can induce serious fatigue issues for bridge components. It is necessary, and more realistic than the ... -
Procedure for Predicting Blast Loads Acting on Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Historical data show that terrorist attacks against transportation assets have increased in recent years and that the vast majority of these attacks have been bombings. As such, there is growing interest in protecting ... -
Graphical Assessment for Span Ranges of PSC Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Although the prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridge is known to be more economical than other types of bridges in short and medium spans, a longer span has also been achieved by applying several strategies. This paper ... -
Predicting the Earth Pressure on Integral Bridge Abutments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The soil adjacent to integral bridge abutments experiences daily and annual temperature-induced cyclic loading owing to expansion and contraction of the bridge deck. This causes a particular soil response and complicated ... -
Regularity Criteria for RC and PRC Multispan Continuous Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)A parametric study was carried out to provide criteria for structural regularity on reinforced concrete (RC) or precast reinforced concrete (PRC) multispan continuous bridges, assessing whether an equivalent single ... -
Performance of Highway Bridge Girder Anchorages under Simulated Hurricane Wave Induced Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Many bridges along the Gulf Coast of the United States were damaged by hurricanes, especially in the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons. Many more bridges are susceptible to similar damage. This research examines the structural ... -
Structural Redundancy Evaluation of Steel Tub Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)As a result of construction problems with curved I-girders, increased tub girder research, and improved fabrication techniques, twin steel tub girder superstructures are increasingly more common for curved highway ramps. ... -
Parametric Studies and Preliminary Design Recommendations on the Use of Postinstalled Shear Connectors for Strengthening Noncomposite Steel Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper is a continuation of research on strengthening the load-carrying capacity of existing noncomposite bridge girders by postinstalling shear connectors. In this study, finite element models were developed to evaluate ... -
Parametric Study and Design Recommendations for In-Span Hinges in Reinforced Concrete Box-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)In-span hinges (ISHs) are located at the bridge deck of reinforced concrete box-girder bridges and are used to transmit vertical loads between two adjacent parts of the deck. ISHs are disturbed regions because of the complex ... -
Fatigue Evaluation of Transverse U-Bar Joint Details for Accelerated Bridge Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)When precast full-depth deck panels and/or decked bulb-Ts (DBTs) are used for accelerated bridge construction, transverse joints exist. In this study, continuous transverse U-bar joint details, which can provide negative ... -
Assessment of Modal-Pushover-Based Scaling Procedure for Nonlinear Response History Analysis of Ordinary Standard Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The earthquake engineering profession is increasingly utilizing nonlinear response history analyses (RHA) to evaluate seismic performance of existing structures and proposed designs of new structures. One of the main ... -

Numerical Simulation of Partial-Depth Precast Concrete Bridge Deck Spalling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper describes the results of numerical simulations performed to investigate the spalling mechanism observed in several partial-depth precast prestressed concrete (PPC) bridge decks. Corrosion-induced cracking of ... -
Fatigue Evaluation of Longitudinal U-Bar Joint Details for Accelerated Bridge Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Continuous longitudinal U-bar joint details for accelerated bridge construction are investigated. Four pairs of full-scale slabs connected by a U-bar detail with one of the selected closure-pour materials were tested under ... -
LRFD Resistance Factors for Design of Driven H-Piles in Layered Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)The load and resistance factor design (LRFD) of piles embedded in layered soils that are commonly classified as sand, clay, and mixed soil sites is investigated using static analysis methods at the strength limit state. ... -
