Influence of Secondary Elements and Deck Cracking on the Lateral Load Distribution of Steel Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The AASHTO LRFD load distribution factor equation was developed based on elastic finite element analysis considering only primary members, i.e., the effects of secondary elements such as lateral bracing and parapets were ... -
Examination of Level of Analysis Accuracy for Curved I-Girder Bridges through Comparisons to Field Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)To evaluate the accuracy of different levels of analysis used to predict horizontally curved steel I-girder bridge response, a field test was performed on a three-span structure. Collected strain data were reduced to ... -
Construction of a Horizontally Curved Steel I-Girder Bridge. Part II: Inconsistent Detailing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The erection of horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges tends to be more complex than the erection of straight steel I-girder bridges. The erection of a curved steel I-girder bridge can be further complicated when the ... -
Characterization of Material Properties of HPS-485W (70 W) TMCP for Bridge Girder Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)There are currently two methods of production for A 709 Grade HPS-485W (70 W)—quenching and tempering (Q&T) and thermomechanical controlled processing (TMCP). The TMCP enables plates to be rolled in longer lengths than is ... -
Girder Differential Deflection and Distortion-Induced Fatigue in Skewed Steel Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The prevalence of fatigue cracking in steel bridge girders due to out-of-plane web distortion motivates development of procedures to evaluate the effects of distortional fatigue. In a previous study sponsored by the Minnesota ... -

Experimental Evaluation of Compressive Behavior of Orthotropic Steel Plates for the New San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Compression tests were conducted on two reduced-scale orthotropic plates to verify the design strength of steel box girders for the new San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. The first specimen was composed of three longitudinal ... -
Experimental Studies on Seismic Behavior of Steel Pile-to-Pile-Cap Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)To investigate the seismic behavior of bridge pile-to-pile-cap connections, five full-scale H-shaped steel pile-to-pile-cap connection subassemblies representing a portion of a typical bridge pile foundation were tested. ... -
Distribution of Compressive Stresses in Transversely Posttensioned Concrete Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)A parametric study was carried out in order to understand the salient aspects affecting the distribution of compressive stresses in transversely posttensioned concrete bridge decks. Alternative finite element modeling ... -
Discussion of “State-of-the-Art of Integral Abutment Bridges: Design and Practice” by M. Arockiasamy, Narongrit Butrieng, and M. Sivakumar

Truck Models for Improved Fatigue Life Predictions of Steel Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)A new fatigue load model has been developed based on weigh-in-motion (WIM) data collected from three different sites in Indiana. The recorded truck traffic was simulated over analytical bridge models to investigate moment ... -
Analysis and Solution to Human-Induced Lateral Vibrations on a Historic Footbridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Recently, it has come to light that footbridges may have problems with human induced vibrations if their lateral period of vibration is of the order of 1 s. This has been highlighted by the much-publicized case of the ... -

Modified Skew Bending Model for Segmental Bridge with Unbonded Tendons
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Segmental bridges with unbonded prestressed tendons have some advantages over conventional concrete bridges, such as weather-independent construction and the corrosion protection of the prestressing tendons. This paper ... -
Preflex Beams: A Method of Calculation of Creep and Shrinkage Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This paper presents a method of calculation of creep and shrinkage effects for composite beams. It is particularly applicable to Preflex and Flexstress beams, which are composed of a steel I-girder with the bottom flange ... -
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of a FRP-Strengthened Reinforced Concrete Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) models are developed to examine the structural behavior of the Horsetail Creek Bridge strengthened by fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). A sensitivity study is performed varying ... -
Effects of Pier and Deck Flexibility on the Seismic Response of Isolated Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The seismic response of bridges isolated by elastomeric bearings and the sliding system is investigated under two horizontal components of real earthquake ground motions. The selected bridges consist of multispan continuous ... -
Comparison of Three Flexural Retrofit Systems under Monotonic and Fatigue Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The majority of experimental work involving the flexural retrofit of concrete bridge girders has been conducted on beam specimens with adhesive-applied, soffit-mounted, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite systems, ...
