Shear Distribution in Simply-Supported Curved Composite Cellular Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Composite steel-concrete multicell box girder bridges are quite often used in modern bridge superstructures with curved alignments. They provide excellent torsional resistance as well as elegant appearance. While current ... -
Bridge Stay Cable Corrosion Protection. I: Grout Injection and Load Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper is the first of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional stay-cable corrosion protection ... -
Dynamic Analysis of Existing Continuous Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper presents the investigation of the effect of dynamic loads on the dynamic amplification factors (DAFs) of an existing continuous bridge. A three-dimensional analytical model to idealize the vehicle and a finite ... -
DISCUSSION: Shear and Reaction Distributions in Continuous Skew Composite Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Tension Control Bolts: Strength and Installation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Tension control bolts are a type of alternative design fastener, permitted by the Research Council on Structural Connections. The bolt has a splined end that extends beyond the threaded portion of the bolt and an annular ... -
Bridge Stay Cable Corrosion Protection. II: Accelerated Corrosion Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper is the second of two companion papers that cover the results of corrosion and structural testing of eight large-scale stay cable specimens. Four of the specimens had the traditional system of portland cement ... -
Laboratory Tests of Bolted Diaphragm-Girder Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Many multigirder steel bridges built before 1985 are experiencing distortion-induced fatigue cracking at diaphragm-girder connections. Fatigue cracks in the welds and base metal in hundreds of diaphragm-girder connections ... -
Nose-Deck Interaction in Launched Prestressed Concrete Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Incremental launching is a competitive construction method for medium-span prestressed concrete bridges. Compared with the other techniques for in situ casting, in short bridges it is an alternative to the use of falseworks ... -
Discussion: Cable-Stayed Bridge Concept for Longer Spans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
Frictional Response of PTFE Sliding Bearings at High Frequencies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Dynamic tests were done on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sliding bridge bearings to evaluate their frictional characteristics at frequencies above 1 Hz. High frequency seismic responses of PTFE bearings are expected to ... -
Closure to “Cable‐Stayed Bridge Concept for Longer Spans” by Uwe Starossek
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
Performance of Bridge Seismic Retrofits during Northridge Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, California's Department of Transportation (Caltrans) began an ambitious program to screen, prioritize, and retrofit 2,000 seismically deficient California bridges. It was unfortunate ... -
Uniform Bridge Element Identification System for Database Management for Roadway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Managing a complex roadway bridge system requires a comprehensive system of management tools to aid decision making. During the decision making process, a major effort is needed to define which bridge(s) or which element(s) ... -
Cable Safety Factors for Four Suspension Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Four suspension bridges are studied: the Williamsburg (1903), Bear Mountain (1924), Triborough (1936), and Golden Gate (1937). Safety factors against failure are calculated for the main cables from original specifications ... -
Discussion: Stretching Span Capability of Prestressed Concrete Bridges under AASHTO LRFD
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
Bridge Deck Construction Using Type K Cement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Because drying shrinkage cracking is a major source of bridge deck cracking, and because shrinkage compensating concrete (SCC) is known to substantially reduce shrinkage cracking, the use of SCC should be closely examined ... -
One Hundred Years of the Rock Island Government Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The historic Rock Island Government Bridge, built in 1896, united the East and West across the mighty Mississippi. It's an ideal example of American technology, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The bridge, located adjacent ... -
Rapid Restoration of War-Damaged 19th Century Lifeline Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The 29-span highway bridge across the Sava River at Brcko, Bosnia, dates to 1894 and suffered the destruction of four deck trusses during the recent war. Following the deployment of U.S. peace keepers, the swift reopening ... -
Segmental and Conventional Precast Prestressed Concrete I-Bridge Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Conventional precast I-girder bridge systems are widely used in North America for short and medium spans, up to 45 m. Spliced standard precast I-girder segments made continuous by longitudinal posttensioning have been used ... -
Natural Periods of Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)In this paper an analysis of the natural periods of long-span cable-stayed bridges is developed for both H-shaped and A-shaped towers. The analysis is carried out by using both an analytical and a numerical model of the ...
