Dynamic Soil–Structure Interaction of Bridge Substructure Subject to Vessel Impact
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The paper describes the in situ investigation, site stratigraphy, field monitoring, data reduction, and subsequent time-domain analysis of soil–structure interaction from a full scale vessel impact loading of a bridge pier ... -
Experimental Characterization and Optimization of Hybrid FRP/RC Bridge Superstructure System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)An experimental investigation was performed to assess the performance of a hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer/reinforced concrete bridge system. The full-scale laboratory specimen was representative of an -
Connection of Concrete Railing Post and Bridge Deck with Internal FRP Reinforcement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is a practical alternative to conventional steel bars in concrete bridge decks, safety appurtenances, and connections thereof, as it eliminates corrosion of the steel ... -
Laboratory Testing Material Property and FE Modeling Structural Response of PAM-Modified Concrete Overlay on Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Portland cement concrete overlay on bridge deck is subjected to distresses of cracking and interface debonding under the effects of repeated vehicle loading and temperature cycling. In order to improve the overlay performance, ... -
White Paper on Bridge Inspection and Rating
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009) -
Lateral Stiffness of Steel Bridge I-Girders Braced by Metal Deck Forms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The lateral-torsional buckling capacity of steel bridge girders is often increased by incorporating bracing along the girder length. Permanent metal deck forms (PMDF) that are used to support the wet concrete deck during ... -
Dynamic Testing for Structural Identification of a Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Structural identification via modal analysis in structural mechanics is gaining popularity in recent years, despite conceptual difficulties connected with its use. This paper is devoted to illustrating the advantages and ... -
Field Experiments and Numerical Models for the Condition Assessment of Historic Timber Bridges: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Covered wooden bridges and the principles of heavy timber framing by which they were built represent both a significant chapter in this country’s civil engineering heritage, and a subclass of bridges that are in immediate ... -
Bayonne Bridge: The Work of Othmar Ammann, Master Builder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the significance of the Bayonne Bridge and to identify it as a work of structural art, because its designer, Othmar Ammann (1879–1965), focused on efficiency, economy, and elegance. ... -
Flexural Behavior of an Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete I-Girder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The flexural behavior of an ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) was investigated through the testing and related analysis of a full-scale prestressed I-girder. A -
Introduction of the Lateral Posttension Method for Prestressed Concrete Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper describes a simple, practical, and inexpensive way of anchoring and applying the prestressing force for posttensioning of the concrete bridge superstructures. It is technically named as the lateral posttension ... -
Experimental Investigation of Multihazard Resistant Bridge Piers Having Concrete-Filled Steel Tube under Blast Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper presents the development and experimental validation of a multizard bridge pier concept, i.e., a bridge pier system capable of providing an adequate level of protection against collapse under seismic and blast ... -
Static Behavior and Theoretical Model of Stud Shear Connectors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Stud shear connectors are the most widely used shear connectors in steel-concrete composite beams. The composite action of steel beam and concrete slab is effected by the stud shear properties directly. Thirty push-out ... -
Discussion of “Evolution of the Continuous Truss Bridge” by Francis E. Griggs Jr.
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008) -
Impact of Commercial Vehicle Weight Change on Highway Bridge Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Heavy trucks represent a major load to highway bridges in the transportation infrastructure system. These loads are directly related to the truck weight limits of the jurisdiction, and largely determine the standard loads ... -
Composite Effect of Bolt-Laminated Sweetgum and Mixed Hardwood Billets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Industrial hardwood laminated billets and mats were proposed, manufactured, and tested. The raw material for the mats was structural composite lumber billets manufactured from sweetgum and mixed hardwood lumber. Each mat ... -
Reliability Analysis of Plank Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The objective of this study is to summarize the load and resistance criteria for highway bridge plank decks, and to estimate the reliability of plank decks designed by the AASHTO Code. Both transverse and longitudinal ... -
Closure to “Evolution of the Continuous Truss Bridge” by Francis E. Griggs Jr.

Effect of Soil and Substructure Properties on Live-Load Distribution in Integral Abutment Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This study is aimed at investigating the effect of soil–structure interaction and substructure properties at the abutments on the distribution of live-load effects in integral abutment bridge (IAB) components. For this ... -
Effects of State Legal Loads on Bridge Rating Results Using the LRFR Procedure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The main objective of this research was to study the effects of different specified trucks on bridge rating with the load and resistance and factor rating (LRFR) procedure. Twelve specified trucks were selected for this ...
