    • Shear and Reaction Distributions in Continuous Skew Composite Bridges 

      Tarek Ebeido; John B. Kennedy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      Continuous composite steel-concrete bridges remain one of the most common types built. The proper design of new bridges and evaluation of existing ones require accurate prediction of their structural response to truck ...

    • Field Study of Pretension in Large-Diameter A490 Bolts 

      Charles J. Oswald; Robert J. Dexter; Steven K. Brauer (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      A limited field testing program is described in which pretension was measured in 44 large-diameter (25.4 and 28.6 mm diameter) A490 bolts installed by construction crews into slip-critical connections in a multistory ...

    • Dynamic Behavior of Continuous and Cantilever Thin-Walled Box Girder Bridges 

      Ton-Lo Wang; Dongzhou Huang; Mohsen Shahawy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      The free vibration characteristics and the dynamic response to a multivehicle load moving across rough bridge deck of continuous and cantilever thin-walled box girder bridges are studied. The box girder bridge is divided ...

    • Web Buckle at I-40 Bridge Test 

      John Minor; Clinton Woodward (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      An unexpected, but explainable, web buckle occurred during the field testing of the I-40 bridge over the Rio Grande in Albuquerque, N.M. The three-span continuous steel plate-girder bridge had a defect (physical cut) ...

    • Yield-Interaction Relationships for Curved I-Girders 

      Charles G. Schilling (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      Yield-interaction relationships are developed for compact, compact-flange, and noncompact sections of curved girders under combined vertical and lateral (warping torsion) moments. These relationships define the bending ...

    • Girder Moments in Continuous Skew Composite Bridges 

      Tarek Ebeido; John B. Kennedy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      Simply supported structures are used efficiently for bridges up to a certain span limit, beyond which the use of continuous structures becomes more economical. As a result of continuity, support moments are developed and ...

    • Field Instrumentation to Study the Time-Dependent Behavior in Sunshine Skyway Bridge. I 

      Mohsen A. Shahawy; M. Arockiasamy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      This paper presents the comprehensive instrumentation program for the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Florida, which has been carried out to monitor the bridge behavior during and after construction. The program includes the ...

    • Punching Strength of Deck Slabs in Skew Composite Bridges 

      Tarek Ebeido; John B. Kennedy (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      During the last few decades, composite steel-concrete structures have been used widely to form the basic superstructure for numerous bridges. Proper design of the deck slab for such bridges requires a proper estimate of ...

    • Shakedown Tests of One-Third–CALE Composite Bridge 

      M. G. Barker; P. M. Bergson; C. E. French; R. T. Leon; T. V. Galambos; F. W. Klaiber (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      This paper presents shakedown and plastic collapse test results for a one-third–scale bridge system. The bridge was a three-span, four-girder composite bridge comprising compact and noncompact sections. Experimental results ...

    • Barge Collision Design of Highway Bridges 

      M. W. Whitney; I. E. Harik; J. J. Griffin; D. L. Allen (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      Method II of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)

    • Editorial 

      Unknown author (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)

    • Ultimate Analysis of Monolithic and Segmental Externally Prestressed Concrete Bridges 

      Gonzalo Ramos; Angel C. Aparicio (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      A numerical model for the ultimate analysis of externally prestressed concrete bridges has been developed. The proposed model can analyze simply supported or continuous, monolithic or segmental bridges, with external ...

    • Economic Preliminary Design of Bridges with Prestressed I-Girders 

      Sami M. Fereig (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)
      This work provides the design engineer with a direct and simple method for the optimal economic design of standard prestressed I-girders. The bridge considered is single span, with a cast-in-place reinforced concrete deck ...
