Closure to “Measurements of Thermal Gradients and their Effects on Segmental Concrete Bridge” by Carin L. Roberts- Wollman, John E. Breen, and Jason Cawrse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003) -
Multiple Limit States and Expected Failure Costs for Deteriorating Reinforced Concrete Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Accurate predictive analyses such as those associated with structural reliability and life-cycle costing are needed for the development of Bridge Management Systems. The present paper presents models for reliability and ... -
Experimental Investigations of Bailey Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This paper presents experimental investigations on Bailey bridges. Seven one-sixth scale models of the Bailey bridge trussed-steel frame were constructed in the laboratory and tested. All members of the scale models of ... -
Identification of Environmental Categories for Markovian Deterioration Models of Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)In general, state-of-the-art bridge management systems have adopted Markov-chain models to predict the future condition of bridge elements and networks in different environments when various maintenance actions are ... -
Discussion of “Measurements of Thermal Gradients and their Effects on Segmental Concrete Bridge” by Carin L. Roberts-Wollman, John E. Breen, and Jason Cawrse
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003) -
Rating and Reliability of Existing Bridges in a Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Currently, the load rating is the method used by State DOTs for evaluating the safety and serviceability of existing bridges in the United States. In general, load rating of a bridge is evaluated when a maintenance, ... -
Full-Scale Fatigue Tests of Steel Orthotropic Decks for the Williamsburg Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Final design of the replacement orthotropic deck panels for the rehabilitation of the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City was based on laboratory fatigue tests of a full-scale prototype and an as-built orthotropic deck ... -
Florida DOT Project-Level Bridge Management Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is in the process of implementing Pontis, a Bridge Management System, to provide decision support to engineers in the headquarters and district offices as they make routine ... -

Risk-Based Expenditure Allocation for Infrastructure Improvement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Traditional methods of modeling and simulating lifecycle for infrastructure management, including bridge management systems, commonly do not account for risk associated with potential failure scenarios. These methods need ... -
State of Practice for Positive Moment Connections in Prestressed Concrete Girders Made Continuous
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Precast bridges are often constructed as single span for dead load, but continuous for live load. A diaphragm connection is provided for negative moment continuity. However, the connection may also be subjected to positive ... -
Tuned Mass Dampers for Dual-Mode Buffeting Control of Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The objective of this paper is to present the idea of control of the dual-mode buffeting response in suspension bridges under service conditions using two tuned mass dampers (TMDs). The bridge is assumed to vibrate in two ... -

Probabilistic Strength Estimates and Reliability of Damaged Parallel Wire Cables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Cable reliability analysis involves the combined evaluation of cable capacity and cable load in a probabilistic manner. Assessment of cable capacity is only possible through visual inspections of the wires, field sampling, ... -
Finite-Element Analysis of Steel Bridge Distortion-Induced Fatigue
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Welded plate girder bridges built before the mid-1980s are often susceptible to fatigue cracking driven by out-of-plane distortion. However, methods for prediction of secondary stresses are not specifically addressed by ... -
Neural Networks for Decentralized Control of Cable-Stayed Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The system identification and vibration control of a cable-stayed bridge are considered difficult to achieve due to the bridge’s structural complexity and system uncertainties. In this paper, based on the concept of ... -
Predicting Truck Load Spectra under Weight Limit Changes and Its Application to Steel Bridge Fatigue Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Truck weight-limit regulations have significant influence on truck operating weights. These regulations directly influence loads applied to highway facilities, such as bridges and pavements. “Truck weight” herein collectively ... -
Design and Construction of a Bridge in Very High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The design, technology, and construction of a small road bridge made of very high performance fiber-reinforced concrete is described in this paper. The bridge consists of precast prestressed concrete beams with a cast-in-place ... -
Local Effects Induced by Longitudinal Forces in Composite Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Local effects on the shear connection of composite girders induced by longitudinal actions such as the anchorages of prestressing cables, concrete shrinkage, or a uniform thermal action on the slab are analyzed. Closed-form ...
