Closure to “Field Study of Pretension in Large-Diameter A490 Bolts” by Charles J. Oswald, Robert J. Decker, and Steven K. Brauer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Vibration of Inclined Sag Cables with Oil Dampers in Cable-Stayed Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper presents both free and forced vibration analyses of inclined cables, including the effects of cable sag, equipped with oil dampers in cable-stayed bridges by using a hybrid method recently developed by the ... -
Ultimate Behavior of Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The study described here investigates the nonlinear static and ultimate behavior of a long-span cable-stayed bridge up to failure and evaluates the overall safety of the bridge. Both geometric and material nonlinearities ... -
Misplacement of Launching Bearings in PC Launched Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In the incremental launch of a prestressed concrete (PC) bridge, the deck is a continuous beam that moves over fixed bearings. Their vertical misplacement causes secondary stresses that sometimes can be resisted by the ... -
Horizontally Curved Steel I-Girders State-of-the-Art Analysis Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Current AASHTO specifications pertaining to the analysis and design of horizontally curved bridges are based upon research work conducted prior to 1978. Since then a significant amount of work has been conducted to further ... -
Validated Analysis of Wheeling Suspension Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The historic Wheeling suspension bridge over the Ohio River is one of the 57 long-span suspension bridges in operation in the United States. The bridge was designed and constructed in 1849 by Charles Ellet, Jr., who ... -
Seismic Behavior of Steel Pile to Precast Concrete Cap Beam Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Precast concrete is increasingly being used for bridge construction. One useful modular bridge system consists of precast box deck units on precast concrete cap beams connected to exposed steel piles. This creates the ... -
Effect of Continuity on Wheel Load Distribution in Steel Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper presents the finite-element results of a study of the effect of continuity on wheel load distribution factors for 78 bridges. Typical two-equal-span, two-lane, straight, composite steel girder bridges were ... -
Dynamic Testing of Prestressed Concrete Bridges and Numerical Verification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper describes different dynamic tests carried out on three bridges, B14, B15, and B13, over highway E19, which connects Brussels and Antwerpen in Belgium. Different excitation types are considered: a drop weight, a ... -
Flutter Stability of Very Long Suspension Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)As longer suspension bridges are being built and planned around the world, many feasibility problems arise. Experiences related with preliminary studies on the Gibraltar Bridge are presented. Flutter is considered to be ... -
Closure to “Cable‐Stayed Bridges—Parametric Study” by T. P. Agrawal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Bridge Prestress Losses in Dry Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A posttensioned, simply supported, box-girder bridge in southern Nevada was instrumented during construction beginning in June 1992. The study was triggered by concerns over the potential adverse effects of low relative ... -
DISCUSSION: Cable-Stayed Bridges— Parametric Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Case Study of Bridge Design Competition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Some proof that politics and culture bear direct influence on innovation in bridge design comes from post-World War II Germany, which has promoted structural innovations through bridge design competitions. The design ... -
Concrete Bridge Demolition Methods and Equipment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The transportation infrastructure in the U.S. is maturing rather rapidly, leading to a shift of work and expenditures from new construction to maintenance, rehabilitation, retrofit, or even replacement of the existing ... -
Guest Editorial: Structural Reliability in Bridge Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Behavior of Elastomeric Bridge Bearings: Computational Results

Discussion of “Cable‐Stayed Bridges—Parametric Study” by P. K. Singh
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Proof Load Testing of Deteriorated Steel Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Proof load tests were carried out on three deteriorated steel girder bridges with simple supports. Selected bridges are more than 60 years old, and their span lengths range from 11.0 to 15.5 m. Two military tanks were used ... -
Bridge Modal Properties Using Simplified Finite Element Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A simplified approach to the dynamic finite element modeling of composite girder-slab bridges is presented using the limiting case of a single beam element to represent the girder-slab cross section. Dynamic properties ...
