Static Load Tests of a Road Bridge with a Flexible Structure Made from Super Cor Type Steel Corrugated Plates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The way in which a new road bridge made from Super Cor steel plates was tested is described and the test results for three static load schemes in which one ballasting vehicle (a Scania truck) was used as the load are ... -
Research on Steel Shell of a Road Bridge Made of Corrugated Plates during Backfilling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper presents the results and conclusions of the research conducted on a backfilled shell structure made of Super Cor SC-56B corrugated steel plates of a road bridge located in Gimån, Sweden. The conclusions drawn ... -
Tests During Three Stages of Construction of a Road Bridge with a Flexible Load-Carrying Structure Made of Super Cor Type Steel Corrugated Plates Interacting with Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The way in which a new road bridge made of steel corrugated plates Super Cor type was tested during the three stages of its construction is described and the test results are presented. Backfill in construction Stage I and ... -
Transverse Cracking of Concrete Bridge Decks: State-of-the-Art
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This state-of-the-art paper presents the results of a comprehensive literature review of the cause of transverse deck cracking. It includes compilation of experimental and analytical research results as well as survey ... -
Experimental Study on Moment–Plastic Rotation Capacity of Hybrid Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The moment–inelastic rotation behavior of hybrid steel girder bridges is experimentally investigated. Six welded girders having compact flanges and webs are statically loaded under three-point bending condition in order ... -

Overview of a Modal-Based Condition Assessment Procedure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Condition assessment is a term that is used to describe the process of characterizing the physical condition of constructed systems. This paper summarizes a condition assessment (CA) procedure based on a complete system ... -
Transverse Cracking of Concrete Bridge Decks: Effects of Design Factors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Early transverse cracking is one of the dominant forms of bridge deck defects experienced by a large number of transportation agencies. These cracks often initiate soon after the bridge deck is constructed, and they are ... -
Balancing Connectivity of Deteriorating Bridge Networks and Long-Term Maintenance Cost through Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Due to aggressive environmental stressors and increasing traffic loads, highway bridges are undergoing significant deterioration in both condition and safety. Timely and adequate maintenance interventions are therefore ... -
Evaluation of As-Built, Retrofitted, and Repaired Shear-Critical Hollow Bridge Columns under Earthquake-Type Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The objective of this research is to investigate the seismic performance of as-built, retrofitted, and repaired hollow bridge columns with insufficient shear strength. Two as-built full-scale columns were first tested and ... -
Reliability-Based Load and Resistance Factor Rating Using In-Service Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Traditional bridge evaluation techniques are based on design-based deterministic equations that use limited site-specific data. They do not necessarily conform to a quantifiable standard of safety and are often quite ... -
Structural Performance of Bridge Approach Slabs under Given Embankment Settlement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Soil embankment settlement causes concrete approach slabs of bridges to lose their contact and support from the soil. When soil settlement occurs, the slab will bend in a concave manner that causes a sudden change in slope ... -
Seismic Modeling of Skewed Bridges with Elastomeric Bearings and Side Retainers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Elastomeric expansion bearings are often restrained laterally by retainers on each side. The retainers are in the form of a concrete shear block, rolled steel angles, or welded plates. To allow for longitudinal temperature ... -
Analysis of Traffic-Induced Vibrations in a Cable-Stayed Bridge. Part I: Experimental Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper characterizes the experimental approach used for the evaluation of traffic-induced dynamic effects in Salgueiro Maia cable-stayed bridge. It presents the most significant results obtained both in terms of the ... -
Case-Based Reasoning for Converting Working Stress Design-Based Bridge Ratings to Load Factor Design-Based Ratings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)In 1995, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) required that all bridges, regardless of the design method used for the original design, be based on the load factor design (LFD) method. In order to comply with the FHWA ... -
Efficiency of Seismic Isolation for Seismic Retrofitting of Heavy Substructured Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)In this paper, the efficiency of seismic isolation for seismic retrofitting of bridges with light superstructures and heavy substructures in the state of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a representative bridge was ... -
Train-Induced Vibration Control of High-Speed Railway Bridges Equipped with Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper deals with the applicability of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) to suppress train-induced vibration on bridges. A railway bridge is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam and a train is simulated as a series of ... -
