Testing and Analysis of Partially Composite Fiber-Reinforced Polymer-Glulam-Concrete Bridge Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A dowel-type shear connector for achieving composite action in glulam bridge girders supporting a concrete deck is described. Direct shear tests of the connector show that its ultimate capacity is unaffected by fatigue, ... -
Recommended Procedures for Simplified Inelastic Design of Steel I-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents summary recommendations pertaining to new AASHTO procedures for simplified inelastic design of steel I-girder bridges. First, key developments are summarized that lead to the proposed inelastic design ... -
Effect of Live-Load Deflections on Steel Bridge Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents an evaluation of the influence of AASHTO live-load deflection criteria on the performance of steel I-girder bridges. Background information is provided regarding previous research studies focused at ... -
Closure to “Strain Wedge Model Capability of Analyzing Behavior of Laterally Loaded Isolated Piles, Drilled Shafts, and Pile Groups” by Mohamed Ashour, Gary Norris, and Patrick Pilling

Bending Behavior of Steel Pipe Girders Filled with Ultralight Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Bending behavior of steel pipes filled with ultralight mortar was studied by bending tests using a steel pipe, steel pipes filled with ultralight mortar, and steel pipes filled with light aggregate concrete and normal ... -
Load Rating of Masonry Arch Bridges: Refinements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)In a paper previously published by the first writer, a procedure for load-rating masonry arch bridges was introduced. The procedure uses the Load Factor Method of the 1994 American Association of State Highway and ... -
Seismic Behavior of Steel Girder Bridge Superstructures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Recent earthquakes exposed the vulnerabilities of steel plate girder bridges when subjected to ground shaking. This paper discusses the behavior of steel plate girder bridges during recent earthquakes such as Petrolia, ... -
Fatigue and Fracture of Steel Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents an overview of materials selection, design, and detailing of steel girders for fatigue and fracture limit states. The historical context of the fracture control plan for bridges is presented. A discussion ... -
Effect of Lamina Thickness on Parallel-to-Grain Strength in Small Douglas-Fir Samples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Timber has a rich history of use in bridge construction. Its small environmental footprint, pleasing aesthetics, long-term durability, and cost effectiveness assure its continued use for generations to come. That said, ... -
Influence of Pier Stiffness Degradation on Soil-Structure Interaction in Base-Isolated Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Identification of system parameters by recorded accelerographs on base-isolated bridges during earthquakes provides an opportunity to investigate the performance of such bridges. Stiffness degradation in reinforced concrete ... -
Roebling Suspension Bridge. II: Ambient Testing and Live-Load Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This is the second part of a two-part paper on the evaluation of the historic Roebling suspension bridge using dynamic-analysis techniques. Dynamic properties are determined using ambient field testing under natural ... -
Evaluation of Prestressed Concrete Girders Strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper details the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets to repair and strengthen prestressed concrete bridge girders in flexure and shear. Three specimens that were removed from an overloaded bridge ... -
Effect of Common Cause Failures on Indirect Costs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Next generation bridge management systems will take into consideration multiple hazard scenarios and not only traffic loading and structural deterioration as they do now. The indirect costs used in these bridge management ... -
Behavior of Field Splice Details in Precast Concrete-Filled Steel Grid Bridge Deck
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Redecking operations executed on urban bridges that experience large traffic volumes frequently require carefully orchestrated construction sequences carried out during times of nonpeak traffic. In such a construction ... -
Historical Perspective on Horizontally Curved I Girder Bridge Design in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper provides a historical overview of the development of horizontally curved steel I girder bridge design specifications in the United States. The background to the development of curved I girder design and analysis ... -
Seismic Response of Isolated Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The seismic response of bridges seismically isolated by lead-rubber bearings (L-RB) to bidirectional earthquake excitation (i.e., two horizontal components) is presented in this paper. The force-deformation behavior of ... -
Shear Lag Effect in Simply Supported Prestressed Concrete Box Girder
