Improving the Response of Soil-Metal Structures during Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)For economic reasons, manufacturers of soil-metal bridges have strived to build these structures under the shallowest possible depth of soil cover, below the one allowed by codes of practice. For such structures, special ... -
Pushover Analysis of Inelastic Seismic Behavior of Greveniotikos Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Nonlinear pushover analysis is a powerful tool for evaluating the inelastic seismic behavior of structures. The paper deals with the nonlinear analysis process followed during the independent design check of the Greveniotikos ... -
Literature Review in Analysis of Box-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The curvilinear nature of box girder bridges along with their complex deformation patterns and stress fields have led designers to adopt approximate and conservative methods for their analyses and design. Recent literature ... -
Simple Probability-Based Assessment of Bridges under Scenario Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A simple probability-based method is presented for assessing the state of existing bridges under scenario earthquakes in order to define their current safety level and eventually decide the need for strengthening interventions. ... -
Kentucky River High Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Cantilever bridge construction can be said to have started with the work of Heinrich Gerber in Germany in 1867. While the principle had been used in many ancient bridges, it was not until Gerber’s work that metal bridges ... -

Simulated Field Testing of High Performance Grouts for Post-Tensioning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A series of fresh property tests and accelerated corrosion tests were used to develop grouts that combine favorable grouting properties with good corrosion protection. The grouts were then pumped into a clear duct with ... -
Analytic Model of Long-Span Self-Shored Arch Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)An innovative self-shoring staged construction method was developed to build the world’s longest reinforced composite concrete arch bridge across the Yangtze River at Wanxian, in Chongqing, China. The method uses a steel ... -
Evaluation of Low-Temperature Test Methods for Elastomeric Bridge Bearings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Elastomeric bearings have had an exemplary performance record over the past 40 years. Recently, increased testing requirements have been imposed that now make the testing of elastomeric bearings one of the major costs in ... -

Optimization of HPS 70W Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)In February 1996 the Tennessee Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, the American Iron and Steel Institute, the U.S. Navy, and various steel plate manufacturers, agreed to ... -
Repair of 130-Year Old Masonry Bridge using High-Performance Cement Grout
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The restoration of a masonry bridge pier built in 1887 was carried out using cement-based grout. Erosion of the pointing mortar of the pier core outer surface and cracks and voids in the pier core were encountered. This ... -
Cracking and Fracture of Suspension Bridge Wire
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)When water enters a suspension bridge cable, the wires that make up the cable start to deteriorate. The protective zinc coating is the first element that is damaged, followed by corrosion of the steel itself. The wires are ... -
Single-Span Prestressed Girder Bridge: LRFD Design and Comparison
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)This report summarizes the comparative design of a single-span AASHTO Type III girder bridge under the -
Dynamic Behavior of Steel Deck Tension-Tied Arch Bridges to Seismic Excitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The dynamic responses of steel deck, tension-tied, arch bridges subjected to earthquake excitations were investigated. The 620 ft (189 m) Birmingham Bridge, located in Pittsburgh, was selected as an analytical model for ... -
Field Evaluation of Decommissioned Noncomposite Steel Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Field tests conducted on a noncomposite steel girder bridge are described. Two separate 36.6 m (120 ft) units, each three-span continuous, were subjected to increasing static loads by means of a trailer and concrete barriers. ... -
Bending Fatigue of Cable Stays
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Large amplitude stay-cable vibrations have been observed numerous times in the past few years in two long-span cable-stayed bridges in Texas: the Veterans Memorial Bridge near Port Arthur and the Fred Hartman Bridge near ... -
Simplified Modeling of Bridge Response on Soft Soil to Nonuniform Seismic Excitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Simple modeling is developed for the response of bridges on soft soil to spatially nonuniform seismic excitation. The bridges are modeled as single- and multispan elastic frames founded on a homogeneous soil layer over ... -
