Parametric Study of Concrete Integral Abutment Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A parametric study was conducted to extend the results of an experimental program on a concrete integral abutment (IA) bridge in Rochester, MN to other integral abutment bridges with different design variables including ... -
Evaluation of Live-Load Lateral Flange Bending Distribution for a Horizontally Curved I-Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper focuses on levels of live-load lateral bending moment (bimoment) distribution in a horizontally curved steel I-girder bridge. Work centered primarily on the examination of (1) data from field testing of an ... -
Full-Scale Test and Analysis of a Curved Steel-Box Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Since the first edition of the AASHTO -
Design of Prestressing Tendons for Strengthening Steel Truss Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The paper introduces a design space for the design of prestressing tendons concentric with members for strengthening steel truss bridges. The design space contains all feasible solutions for the cross-sectional area of the ... -
Modeling Early-Age Bridge Restraint Moments: Creep, Shrinkage, and Temperature Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)An increasing number of bridges are being designed with continuous spans instead of simple spans. By reducing the number of joints in a bridge, the traveling public receives a better riding surface and corrosion caused by ... -
Design of the Fulton Road Bridge Precast Segmental Concrete Arches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper describes the design of the Fulton Road Bridge segmental concrete arches. The posttensioning concept, superstructure–arch interaction considerations, effective length -
Comparison of Prestress Losses for a Prestress Concrete Bridge Made with High-Performance Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Five prestressed concrete girders made with high-performance concrete were instrumented using vibrating-wire strain gages. Their behavior was monitored for three years from the time of casting. The measured change in ... -
Dynamic Response of a Highway Bridge Subjected to Moving Vehicles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Several full-scale load tests were performed on a selected Florida highway bridge. The bridge was dynamically excited by two fully loaded trucks, and the strain, acceleration, and displacement at selected points were ... -
Full-Scale Tests of Bridge Steel Pedestals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Overheight vehicle collisions can cause major damage to bridges. To address the issue of limited vertical clearance heights and reduce the likelihood of impact damage, the Georgia Department of Transportation has implemented ... -
Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Decks Using Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composite Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper presents the results of an investigation of the monotonic and fatigue behavior of one-way and two-way reinforced concrete slabs strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. The five one-way ... -
Role of Shear Keys in Seismic Behavior of Bridges Crossing Fault-Rupture Zones
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper examines the role of shear keys at bridge abutments in the seismic behavior of “ordinary” bridges. The seismic responses of bridges subjected to spatially uniform and spatially varying ground motions for three ... -
Fatigue Strength of Repaired Prestressed Composite Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Composite steel-concrete bridges constitute a major portion of the national bridge inventory. Many of these structures are approaching or have passed their service lives and are in need of repair and rehabilitation. External ... -
Solver and Shell Element Performances for Curved Bridge Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A study has been undertaken to investigate different solver and shell element performances for curved bridge finite-element analysis. Three sparse solvers were implemented into a bridge finite-element analysis code, and ... -
Static Load Tests of a Corrugated Steel Plate Arch with Relieving Slab
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper deals with a new arch road bridge made from structural corrugated plates, over the Plawna Stream on a local road between Bystrzyca Klodzka and Ladek Zdroj in Stary Waliszow, Poland. The bridge replaced the old ... -
Survey of Short- and Medium-Span Bridge Damage Induced by Hurricane Katrina
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper reports on a survey effort of damaged bridges conducted by the writers in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina of August 2005. As with Hurricane Ivan in 2004, low-lying coastal bridges suffered severe damage due ... -
Statistical Modeling of Coupled Shear-Moment Resistance for RC Bridge Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Many reinforced concrete bridges are posted or restricted to traffic, and repair or replacement decisions for these bridges involves both economical and safety considerations. To avoid the high costs of unnecessary replacement ... -
Discussion of “Effective Slab Width Definition for Negative Moment Regions of Composite Bridges” by Amjad J. Aref, Methee Chiewanichakorn, Stuart S. Chen, and II-Sang Ahn

Development of a Short-Span Fiber-Reinforced Composite Bridge for Emergency Response and Military Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A continued desire for increased mobility in the aftermath of natural disasters, or on the battlefield, has lead to the need for improved light-weight bridging solutions. Currently within the United States military there ... -
Structural Testing of a Vehicular Carbon Fiber Bridge: Quasi-Static and Short-Term Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper deals with the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers as the primary load-bearing material in new (as opposed to retrofit) bridge designs. After describing the experimental methods, results from the laboratory ... -
George Shattuck Morison and the Development of Bridge Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)George Shattuck Morison (1842–1903) was one of the major contributors to the development of modern bridge engineering practice. His career spanned the era from design by empirical “rules of thumb” to the use of mathematical ...
