Performance Evaluation of Short Span Reinforced Concrete Arch Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)In this paper, the static and seismic performance of some short span reinforced concrete arch bridges, before and after strengthening interventions, are evaluated. To verify whether retrofit strategies for the considered ... -
Structural Characteristics and Applicability of Four-Span Suspension Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A four-span suspension bridge which has two main 2,000 m spans is investigated with respect to the deformation characteristics. Generally, deformation behavior of the four-span suspension bridge is mainly influenced by ... -
Closure to “Noncontact Photogrammetric Measurement of Vertical Bridge Deflection” by David V. Jáuregui, Kenneth R. White, Clinton B. Woodward, and Kenneth R. Leitch
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004) -
Feasibility of a 1,400 m Span Steel Cable-Stayed Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper describes the feasibility of 1,400 m steel cable-stayed bridges from both structural and economic viewpoints. Because the weight of a steel girder strongly affects the total cost of the bridge, the writers present ... -
Seismic Response of Multiple Span Steel Bridges in Central and Southeastern United States. I: As Built
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The seismic response of typical multispan simply supported (MSSS) and multispan continuous steel girder bridges in the central and southeastern United States is evaluated. Nonlinear time history analyses are conducted using ... -
Warping Stresses in Curved Box Girder Bridges: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents a detailed investigation of warping-related stresses in 18 composite steel-concrete box girder bridges. The bridge designs were adapted from blueprints of existing bridges in the state of Florida and ... -
Discussion of “Noncontact Photogrammetric Measurement of Vertical Bridge Deflection” by David V. Jáuregui, Kenneth R. White, Clinton B. Woodward, and Kenneth R. Leitch

Impact Factors for Horizontally Curved Composite Box Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents a method for determining the dynamic impact factors for horizontally curved composite single- or multicell box girder bridges under AASHTO truck loading. The bridges are modeled as three-dimensional ... -
Inelastic Damage Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns Based on Degraded Monotonic Energy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper summarizes the prediction of seismic damage of two existing bridges. The objective is to apply a damage index definition for reinforced concrete bridge columns under cyclic loading to existing bridge columns ... -
Lessons Learned from the Damaged Chi-Lu Cable-Stayed Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A disastrous earthquake struck central Taiwan at 01:47 a.m. September 21, 1999 (Taiwan local time). The Seismology Center of the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) determined the magnitude of this earthquake to be -
Steel Girder Design per AASHTO LRFD Specifications (Part 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The primary objective of this paper and its companion is to give the practicing engineer tools for quick design of steel and composite girders in flexure and shear and to provide a reference to aid with the transition to ... -
Steel Girder Design per AASHTO LRFD Specifications (Part 2)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This is the second of two companion papers discussing and illustrating the AASHTO -
Seismic Retrofit of State Street Bridge on Interstate 80
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The State Street Bridge, in Salt Lake City, was designed and built in 1965 according to the 1961 AASHO specifications; the design did not include earthquake-induced forces or displacements since only wind loads were ... -
Discussion of “Deflection Requirements for Bridges Constructed with Advanced Composite Materials” by J. R. Demitz, D. R. Mertz, and J. W. Gillespie
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004) -
Experimental Study of Seismic Behaviors of As-Built and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics Repaired Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)In order to reliably obtain seismic responses of as-built and repaired reinforced concrete bridge columns under near-fault ground motions, pseudodynamic testing of two bridge columns with a reduced scale of 2/5 was performed. ... -
Cyclic Response of Unbonded Posttensioned Precast Columns with Ductile Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A precast segmental concrete bridge pier system is being investigated for use in seismic regions. The proposed system uses unbonded posttensioning (UBPT) to join the precast segments and has the option of using a ductile ... -
Bridge Structural Condition Assessment Using Systematically Validated Finite-Element Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The structural condition assessment of highway bridges is largely based on visual observations described by subjective indices, and it is necessary to develop a methodology for an accurate and reliable condition assessment ... -
Simplified Method of Lateral Distribution of Live Load Moment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper introduces a simplified method, known as Henry’s method, for the calculation of distribution factors of the live load moment. Using the simplified method, the live load effects are equally distributed in all ... -
Routine Highway Bridge Inspection Condition Documentation Accuracy and Reliability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Routine inspection is the most common form of highway bridge inspection to satisfy the requirements of the National Bridge Inspection Standards. The accuracy and reliability of documentation generated during these inspections ... -
Condition Evolution in Bridge Management Systems and Corrosion-Induced Deterioration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Condition assessment in the Swiss bridge management system (KUBA-MS) is performed on the element level. Five condition states are defined based on visual appearance. In order to forecast the condition states of any given ...
