Performance of Bridge Timber Ties under Static and Fatigue Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001) -
Quantifying Field-Test Behavior for Rating Steel Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Field testing is valuable for evaluating existing bridges. It allows the owner to reduce the conservatism of analytical rating methods and safely rate the bridge for higher loads. Many factors not considered in design ... -
Design Method of a Hanger System for Long-Span Suspension Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A parallel wire strand (PWS) rope instead of a strand rope of the center fit rope core type was used as the hanger rope in the world's longest suspension bridge, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, one of the Honshu-Shikoku Bridges ... -
Computer-Aided Graphical Analysis of Bridges under Vehicular Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A computer-based, graphical approach is presented to construct the Influence Profile for determinate bridge structures that are subjected to multiple axle loads. An Influence Profile represents the variation of an internal ... -
Effect of Grouting Pressure in Posttensioned Bulbtee Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Out-of-plane stresses due to the wedging effect of the strands caused high stress concentration at the end of the transition zone of Florida bulbtee girders. Adding the hydrostatic stresses due to grout pressure in the ... -
Preliminary Design of Prestressed Concrete Stress Ribbon Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A stress ribbon bridge is a very slender structure in which the deck hangs in a suspended cablelike form. The structural response of this kind of structure is complex because of the combined effects of geometric nonlinearity, ... -
Cable Erection Test at Pylon Saddle for Spatial Suspension Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents the results of mock-up cable erection tests for the Yong Jong Grand Bridge, Inchon, Korea. The Grand Bridge includes the world's first self-anchored spatial suspension bridge whose main cable planes are ... -
Effectiveness of Seismic Isolation of Highly Skewed P/C I-Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Experimental and analytical investigations were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of isolating the superstructure from the substructure of a highly skewed prestressed concrete slab on a girder bridge. Dynamic testing ... -
Preliminary Analysis of Suspension Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper reviews the derivation of the fundamental equations of suspension bridge analysis based on the deflection theory. A method is presented for the practical solution of these equations that can be implemented in ... -
Statewide Vessel Collision Design for Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Design Method II for vessel collision design is recommended by AASHTO specifications for most bridges. With its required resources more elaborate than Method I, Method II classifies vessel traffic passing under a specific ... -
Shear Retrofit of Flared RC Bridge Columns Subjected to Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents an evaluation of the seismic performance and retrofit of reinforced-concrete bridge columns with structural flares. Experimental and analytical studies were performed on four 40%-scale specimens. Two ... -
Strengthening by Means of External Prestressing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001) -
State-of-the-Art in Design of Curved Box-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The objective of this paper is to provide highlights of the most important references related to the development of current guide specifications for the design of straight and curved box-girder bridges. Subjects discussed ... -
Self-Anchored Suspension Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001) -
Suspension Bridge Flutter for Girders with Separate Control Flaps
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Active vibration control of long span suspension bridge flutter using separate control flaps (SFSC) has shown to increase effectively the critical wind speed of the bridges. In this paper, an SFSC calculation based on modal ... -
Closure to “Strengthening by Means of External Prestressing” by M. A. Pisani
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001) -
Preservative Effect on Stress-Laminated Southern Pine Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Stress-laminated timber bridge decks have gained increasing popularity in the United States in recent years. As with all wood exposed to the environment, wood for these decks must be treated with preservatives. There has ... -
Engineered Heat-Straightening Repairs: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The goal of this study was twofold: (1) To demonstrate that engineered heat straightening is a viable alternative for the repair of damaged steel bridge girders; and (2) to illustrate how the latest results of research and ... -
Alternate Substructure Systems for Standard Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper focuses on improving bridge substructures by developing attractive and rapidly constructed substructure systems for short- and moderate-span bridges. The importance of improved substructure design is discussed. ... -
Stochastic Model for Multilane Traffic Effects on Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)In modern approaches, the target and design values for traffic effects on bridges are obtained through suitable stochastic traffic models processing recorded traffic data. To this aim, several theoretical and numerical ...
