Effect of Asynchronous Earthquake Motion on Complex Bridges. I: Methodology and Input Motion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Based on observed damage patterns from previous earthquakes and a rich history of analytical studies, asynchronous input motion has been identified as a major source of unfavorable response for long-span structures, such ... -
Special-Purpose Simulation Model for Balanced Cantilever Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Construction of bridges’ decks involves different types of resources that interact in a cyclic manner. Further, the construction operation inherits uncertainties and a variety of demands. Contractors have to select the ... -
Seismic Testing of a Two-Span Reinforced Concrete Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A quarter-scale, two-span reinforced concrete bridge was tested using the shake-table system at the University of Nevada, Reno. The shake-table tests were part of a multiuniversity, multidisciplinary project utilizing the ... -
Bridge Damage and Repair Costs from Hurricane Katrina
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Hurricane Katrina caused significant damage to the transportation system in the Gulf Coast region. The overall cost to repair or replace the bridges damaged during the hurricane is estimated at over $1 billion. This paper ... -
Fatigue Strength of Trolley Bridge Stringers Made of ASTM A7 Steel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Nineteen -
Development of Novel Industrial Laminated Planks from Sweetgum Lumber
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Industrial hardwood laminated planks were proposed, manufactured, and tested. The raw material was Number 2B common sweetgum lumber approximately -
Vehicle Induced Dynamic Behavior of Short-Span Slab Bridges Considering Effect of Approach Slab Condition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)In this paper the vehicle induced dynamic bridge responses are calculated by modeling the bridge and vehicle as one coupled system. The dynamic behavior of short slab bridges with different span lengths induced by the ... -
Parapet Strength and Contribution to Live-Load Response for Superload Passages
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of parapets on the live-load response of slab-on-girder steel bridges subjected to superload vehicles and the effects of these loads on the parapets. A superload ... -
Effect of Carbonation on Concrete Bridge Service Life
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)An increase in the number of distressed bridges and the limited financial resources emphasize the need for an efficient bridge management system (BMS) for India. Assessment of the remaining life of bridges becomes an ... -
Nontarget Image-Based Technique for Small Cable Vibration Measurement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)In this paper, a proof-of-concept image-based technique is proposed for measuring small cable vibration. The technique analyzes an image sequence of a vibrating cable segment captured by a camera. An optical flow method ... -
Condition Assessment of Shear Connectors in Slab-Girder Bridges via Vibration Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The paper presents a field study on condition assessment of the shear connectors in a full slab-girder bridge via vibration measurements. First, a model updating technique is employed to assess the condition of the whole ... -
Fatigue of Diagonally Cracked RC Girders Repaired with CFRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are becoming more widely used for repair and strengthening of conventionally reinforced concrete (RC) bridge members. Once repaired, the member may be exposed to millions of load cycles ... -

Repair of Bridge Girder Damaged by Impact Loads with Prestressed CFRP Sheets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A sound repair on a 40 year old four-span prestressed concrete girder bridge is performed with an innovative strengthening method using prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. In fact, this application ... -
Effect of Skewness on the Distribution of Live Load Reaction at Piers of Skewed Continuous Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper presents a study of the skewness effect on live load reactions at the piers of continuous bridges. Two prestressed concrete I-beam bridges and one steel I-girder bridge were selected for the study. To evaluate ... -
Discussion of “Consistent Approach to Calculating Stresses for Fatigue Design of Welded Rib-to-Web Connections in Steel Orthotropic Bridge Decks” by Robert J. Connor and John W. Fisher

Effects of Duct Types and Emulsifiable Oils on Bond and Friction Losses in Posttensioned Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Emulsifiable oils are often used in posttensioned construction to reduce friction losses and provide temporary corrosion protection for tendons prior to grouting. This paper addresses the effects of two emulsifiable oils ... -
