Seismic Fragility of Multispan Simply Supported Steel Highway Bridges in New York State. I: Bridge Modeling, Parametric Analysis, and Retrofit Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper studies the dynamic seismic behavior of a typical highway bridge in New York State. The topological layout and structural details of this multispan simply supported steel-girder bridge are identified as the most ... -
Dynamic Performance Simulation of Long-Span Bridge under Combined Loads of Stochastic Traffic and Wind
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Slender long-span bridges exhibit unique features which are not present in short and medium-span bridges such as higher traffic volume, simultaneous presence of multiple vehicles, and sensitivity to wind load. For typical ... -

Large-Bar Connection for Precast Bridge Bents in Seismic Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)A new beam-to-column connection has been developed for assembling precast concrete bridge bents in regions of high seismicity. The connection is made with a small number of large column bars, which are grouted into large ... -
Using Soft Computing to Analyze Inspection Results for Bridge Evaluation and Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The national bridge inventory (NBI) system, a database of visual inspection records that tallies the condition of bridge elements, is used by transportation agencies to manage the rehabilitation of the aging U.S. highway ... -
Nondestructive Testing of GFRP Bridge Decks Using Ground Penetrating Radar and Infrared Thermography
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)As glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge decks are becoming a feasible alternative to the traditional concrete bridge decks, an innovative methodology to evaluate the in situ conditions are vital to GFRP bridge ... -
Aerostatic Reliability Analysis of Long-Span Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The response surface Monte Carlo method (RSMCM) is proposed for reliability analysis of aerostatic response and aerostatic stability for different types of long-span bridges, in which the nonlinear effects due to geometric ... -
Investigation on the Impact of Seasonally Frozen Soil on Seismic Response of Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper presents the development of numerical models that investigated the seismic response of a simple two span prototype bridge system during warm and frozen temperatures. Models from both temperature conditions were ... -
Proposal of an Integrated Index for Prioritization of Bridge Maintenance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The bridge rating used in bridge management systems commonly uses only a structural condition. Factors such as seismic risk, hydraulic vulnerability, and strategic importance are commonly used in an isolated fashion. ... -
