Behavior of a Semiintegral Bridge Abutment under Static and Temperature-Induced Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents the results of an experimental study of semiintegral bridge abutments. Primary interests were to investigate (1) potential problems with the particular detail tested; (2) rotational characteristics of ... -
Wheel Load Distribution in Simply Supported Concrete Slab Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper presents the results of a parametric study related to the wheel load distribution in one-span, simply supported, multilane, reinforced concrete slab bridges. The finite-element method was used to investigate the ... -
Timoshenko Beam with Tuned Mass Dampers to Moving Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The structural analysis of a Timoshenko beam system with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) under moving-load excitation is presented. A proposed simplified two-degrees-of freedom system based on the first mode of the Timoshenko ... -
Structural Evaluation and Strengthening of a Reinforced Concrete Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper deals with the structural evaluation and strengthening of a reinforced concrete bridge over the Arno River in Italy. In 1996 truckload tests and finite-element calculations were performed to assess the bridge ... -
Cyclic Testing of Concrete-Filled Circular Steel Bridge Piers having Encased Fixed-Based Detail
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)To investigate their adequacy as energy dissipating elements during earthquakes, this paper reports on cyclic inelastic tests executed to determine the maximum strength and ductility of four concrete-filled circular steel ... -
Predicted and Measured Performance of Prestressed Concrete Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Testing results of six existing prestressed concrete bridges are used to evaluate analytical methodologies. These bridges cover different span lengths, number of lanes, and skew angles. Strains, load distribution factors, ... -
Seismic Design of Concrete-Filled Circular Steel Bridge Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The adequacy of the existing design provisions for concrete-filled steel pipes subjected to axial forces and flexure is reviewed by comparing the strengths predicted by the CAN/CSA-S16.1-M94, AISC LRFD 1994, and the Eurocode ... -

Creep Effect in Structural Composite Lumber for Bridge Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Structural composite lumber (SCL) is a family of newly engineered wood products that are increasing in highway bridge applications. Advantages of SCL are its high strength, flexibility, stiffness, and excellent preservative ... -
Suspension Cable Design of the New San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Various factors contribute to the difficulty in designing the main suspension cable for the new San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge Self-Anchored Suspension Span (or East Bay Bridge Suspension Span). The key factors are bridge ... -
Roebling Suspension Bridge. I: Finite-Element Model and Free Vibration Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This first part of a two-part paper on the John A. Roebling suspension bridge (1867) across the Ohio River is an analytical investigation, whereas Part II focuses on the experimental investigation of the bridge. The primary ... -
Performance Evaluation of Repair Technique for Damaged Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Honeycomb Bridge Deck Panels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)All-composite, fiber-reinforced polymer honeycomb (FRPH) sandwich panels are an innovative application of modern composite materials in civil engineering. These panels have become increasingly popular for use as full-depth ... -
Counterpropagation Neural Network Model for Steel Girder Bridge Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Bridge rating is based on the method of design: working stress design (WSD) or load factor design (LFD). A large number of older bridges were rated based on the WSD code. These WSD-based bridge ratings now have to be ... -
Effect of Side Retainers on Seismic Response of Bridges with Elastomeric Bearings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)Often, to restrain the lateral displacement of elastomeric bearings in slab-girder bridges, two retainers in the form of angles or welded plates are placed on each side of the bearings, with a slight clearance to allow for ... -
Potential Retrofit Methods for Concrete Channel Beam Bridges Using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)The structural response of deteriorated channel beam bridge girders and channel beam bridge decks with and without glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) retrofit is found from design calculations, experimental load testing, ... -

New AASHTO Guide Manual for Load and Resistance Factor Rating of Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This paper introduces the American Association of State Highway Officials’ (AASHTO) new Guide Manual for Condition Evaluation and Load and Resistance Factor Rating of Highway Bridges that was completed in March 2000 under ... -
Updating Bridge Reliability Based on Bridge Management Systems Visual Inspection Results
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Bridge management systems have become increasingly sophisticated over the past decade and provide valuable information about the structural condition of all bridges in the national database. At the same time, reliability ... -
