Probabilistic Evaluation of Unknown Foundations for Scour Susceptible Bridges
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )By 2005, approximately 60,000 bridges throughout the US were identified as having unknown foundations. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) required Departments of Transportation (DOTs) across the US to evaluate the ... -
Influence of the Double Composite Action Solution in the Behavior of a High-Speed Railway Viaduct
(ASCE, 7/1/2020 1)This paper addresses the dynamic behavior of the La Scarpe viaduct, which consists of a continuous nine-span steel–concrete composite bridge belonging to the French HSR line TGV Nord. The main objective of the paper is to ... -
Moment and Shear Distribution Factors for the Design of Simply Supported Skewed Composite Steel I-Girder Bridges Due to Dead Loading
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)The sequence of loading during construction of simply supported skewed bridges influences the magnitude of stresses developed in the girders and is usually not explicitly addressed in design codes. Many designers and ... -
Construction and Field Evaluation of Electrically Isolated Tendons in a Prestressed Concrete Spliced Girder Bridge
(ASCE, 7/1/2020 1)This paper describes the first application of Electrically Isolated Tendon (EIT) technology in the United States. These systems have been developed to provide a level of quality assurance for post-tensioned strand systems ... -
Frictional Resistance Between Main Cable and Saddle for Suspension Bridges. II: Interlayer Slip of Strands
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)The capability to accurately evaluate the frictional resistance between the main cable and saddle is essential for the design and evaluation of suspension bridges. In this paper, an analytical model is developed to predict ... -
Miami Pedestrian Bridge Collapse: Computational Forensic Analysis
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)On March 15, 2018, a pedestrian concrete truss bridge in Miami, Florida, collapsed during construction. The failure of this bridge caused multiple casualties and raised many serious concerns regarding the design and ... -
Accelerated Bridge Construction of the New Samuel De Champlain Bridge
(ASCE, 2/1/2020 1)Located over the St. Lawrence Seaway, the new Samuel De Champlain Bridge was designed and constructed in 48 months despite the severe winter of Montreal. Many factors, including a deteriorating existing bridge, limited ... -
Tuned Mass Dampers for Wind-Induced Vibration Control of Chongqi Bridge
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Chongqi Bridge is part of an important route over the Yangtze River connecting Chongming City in Shanghai with Qidong City in Jiangsu. The steel box-girder bridge consists of separate but adjacent twin six-span bridges, ... -
Extended Formulation of Stress Concentration Factors for CFST T-Joints
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)In previous research, the authors numerically investigated 212 finite-element (FE) models of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) T-joints under axial force in the brace to derive formulae for stress concentration factors ... -
Wind-Induced Stability of a Cable-Stayed Bridge with Double Main Spans of 1,500 m and a Twin-Box Section
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Both aerostatic torsional divergence and flutter are challenging for the wind-resistant performance of long-span cable-stayed bridges. Aiming at a cable-stayed bridge with double main spans of 1,500 m each and a typical ... -
Bridge Deck Replacement of Posttensioned Concrete Box-Girder Bridges
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )This paper studies the feasibility of replacing damaged deck of posttensioned concrete box-girder bridges without the use of falsework to support the superstructure span. Parameters of the study included straight, curved, ... -
