Theoretical Studies of the XY-FP Seismic Isolation Bearing for Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The XY-friction pendulum (XY-FP) bearing is a modified friction pendulum that consists of two perpendicular steel rails with opposing concave surfaces and a connector. The connector resists tensile forces, allows independent ... -
Modeling of Jointed Connections in Segmental Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Precast segmental construction of bridges can accelerate construction and minimize the cost of medium span bridges in environmentally sensitive and difficult to access locations. Despite these benefits, the use of precast ... -
Steel Girder Stability during Bridge Erection: AASHTO LRFD Check on L/b Ratios
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The erection of steel plate girders during the construction process of a steel bridge is a complex operation, which is often left to the contractor and/or the subcontractor to plan and execute. Rules of thumb have been ... -
Investigation of Large Web Fractures of Welded Steel Plate Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Constructed in 1972 with ASTM A36 (250 MPa) steel, a highway bridge in Maryland is comprised of seven welded steel plate girders of a constant web depth of 2,286 mm (90 in.). In March 2003, the web fractures of two steel ... -
Effect of Intermediate Diaphragms on Decked Bulb-Tee Bridge System for Accelerated Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)One of the promising systems for accelerated bridge construction is the use of the decked precast prestressed concrete girders or decked bulb-tee girders for the bridge superstructure. Using the calibrated three-dimensional ... -
Load Configuration and Lateral Distribution of NATO Wheeled Military Trucks for Steel I-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper presents the lateral load distribution of various North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) wheeled military trucks on a simple-span steel I-girder bridge -
Experimental Performance of Full-Depth Precast, Prestressed Concrete Overhang, Bridge Deck Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The performance of a new full-depth precast overhang panel system for concrete bridge decks is investigated experimentally. In contrast to conventional cast-in-place deck overhangs, the proposed full-depth precast overhang ... -

Shear Strength of a Lightweight Self-Consolidating Concrete Bridge Girder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) is advantageous in the bridge industry because members made with this material have a significantly lower self-weight, and in its fresh state, LWSCC has a low viscosity which ... -
Influence of Surface Condition on the Inspection of Steel Bridge Elements Using the Time-of-Flight Diffraction Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Prior studies on the time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) method have focused primarily on ground smooth, clean surfaces of steel. In practice, however, the surface of an existing bridge element will be covered with rust or ... -
I-35W Bridge Collapse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, collapsed suddenly on August 1, 2007. This note briefly summarizes an analysis based on original design drawings, an investigation of material evidence ... -
Interface Shear Connection Analysis of Ultrahigh-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Composite Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The purpose is to analyze the interface shear connection behavior for ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) and normal concrete (NC) composite girders. The shape and dimension of the shear stud in the ... -
Performance Test of Energy Dissipation Bearing and Its Application in Seismic Control of a Long-Span Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Energy dissipation bearing (EDB) is a conventional steel bridge bearing in connection with well designed mild steel dampers. Seismic performance test was undertaken for both damper units and a prototype bearing, and the ... -
Improved Longitudinal Joint Details in Decked Bulb Tees for Accelerated Bridge Construction: Fatigue Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This companion paper focuses on an investigation of improved continuous longitudinal joint details for decked precast prestressed concrete girder bridge systems. Precast concrete girders with an integral deck, which are ... -
Investigation of Turbulence Effects on Torsional Divergence of Long-Span Bridges by Using Dynamic Finite-Element Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Aerostatic stability of super long-span bridges is a much concerned issue during the design stage. Typical aerostatic instability is the so-called torsional divergence which may lead to abrupt structural failure. The ... -
Bridge Model Updating Using Response Surface Method and Genetic Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)A finite-element (FE) model of a structure is a highly idealized engineering model that may or may not truly reflect the physical structure. The purpose of model updating is to modify the FE model of a structure in order ... -
In-Service Diagnostics of a Highway Bridge from a Progressive Damage Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Development of diagnostic and prognostic routines for application to in-service measurements from highway bridges necessitates analysis of experimental measurements from in-service highway bridges under natural or prescribed ... -
