Modal Contribution Coefficients in Bridge Condition Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Impact modal testing combined with finite element (FE) analyses is currently being used to evaluate the condition of steel bridges in the state of Ohio. Using modal testing techniques, it is relatively easy to measure the ... -
Effects of Temperature Variations on Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The monitoring of a precast, prestressed girder bridge during fabrication and service provided the opportunity to observe temperature variations and to evaluate the accuracy of calculated strains and cambers. The use of ... -
Fatigue Performance of Stringer-to-Floor-Beam Connections in Riveted Railway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The behavior of double-angle stringer-to-floor-beam connections in riveted railway bridges is examined experimentally. A series of static and fatigue tests were performed on three full-scale bridge parts taken from an old ... -
Wavelet-Hybrid Feedback Linear Mean Squared Algorithm for Robust Control of Cable-Stayed Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Cable-stayed bridges are flexible structures, and control of their vibrations is an important consideration and a challenging problem. In this paper, the wavelet-hybrid feedback least mean squared algorithm recently developed ... -
Application of the Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System in Bridge Safety Monitoring
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)A real-time kinematic (RTK) global positioning system (GPS) has been developed and installed on the Humen Bridge (China) for on-line monitoring of bridge deck movement, which may occur as a result of seismic activity, ... -
Risk Management and Design of Critical Bridges for Terrorist Attacks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)In the aftermath of the September 11th tragedies, the vulnerability of the United States' transportation infrastructure to terrorist attack has gained national attention. In light of this vulnerability, various governmental ... -
Dynamic and Impact Behavior of Half-Through Arch Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The objective of this paper is to present the results of an investigation of the dynamic and impact characteristics of half-through arch bridges with rough decks caused by vehicles moving across them. Seven arch bridges ... -
Improved Moment Strength Prediction of Composite Steel Plate Girders in Positive Bending
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper contains an alternate method for the calculation of the predicted positive bending moment capacity of composite steel girders. The 2000 interim version of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation ... -
Assessment of Soil Stiffness Properties by Dynamic Tests on Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper presents a method to determine soil stiffness properties using measured structural modes of bridges. Normally, the identified mode shapes have to be smoothed. The mode shapes are approximated using functions ... -

Nonlinear Modeling of Flexible Cable Loads on Large Sheaves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Stress analysis of the components of a sheave used to transfer loads between the lift span and counterweight in a movable span bridge is investigated. Stress analysis is a requirement for properly designing such sheaves. ... -
Reliability-Based Optimum Design of Glulam Cable-Stayed Footbridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This work presents a procedure for finding the reliability-based optimum design of cable-stayed bridges. The minimization problem is stated as the minimization of stresses, displacements, reliability, and bridge cost. A ... -
Lateral-Torsional Buckling of Stepped Beams with Continuous Bracing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Continuous span multibeam steel bridges are common along the state and interstate highways. The top flange of the beams is typically braced against lateral movement by the deck slab, and in many bridges the cross section ... -
Damage Analysis of Hanshin Expressway Viaducts during 1995 Kobe Earthquake. I: Residual Inclination of Reinforced Concrete Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The damage suffered by elevated viaducts of the Hanshin Expressway Kobe Route during the 1995 Kobe earthquake is described with emphasis on reinforced concrete (RC) piers. Although many piers were severely damaged, it is ... -
Extending the Fatigue Life of Riveted Coped Stringer Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Fatigue cracking occurs at the copes of stringer–floorbeam connections of older, riveted steel bridges. Some cracks are quite long and raise serious questions regarding the remaining fatigue life of the subject bridges. ... -
Damage Analysis of Hanshin Expressway Viaducts during 1995 Kobe Earthquake. II: Damage Mode of Single Reinforced Concrete Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The damage mode that single reinforced concrete (RC) piers of the Hanshin Expressway Kobe Route suffered during the 1995 Kobe earthquake is discussed. On the Kobe Route, many single RC piers suffered from flexural mode ... -
Damage Analysis of Hanshin Expressway Viaducts during 1995 Kobe Earthquake. III: Three-Span Continuous Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Almost all the single reinforced concrete (RC) piers from P35 to P350 received consistently severe damage, considering the large residual inclination of piers included in earthquake-induced severe damage. However, some of ...
