Mixed-Mode Fatigue and Fracture Assessment of a Steel Twin Box-Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Steel twin box-girder bridges are considered an attractive option in most of the world because of their basic design, simple form, and ease of construction. Despite their advantages, they are considered fracture critical, ... -
Performance-Based Design Framework for Bridge Piers Subjected to Truck Collision
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A performance-based design (PBD) framework, suited for incorporation into design codes, is proposed for bridge piers subject to truck impact. Pier performance was judged as a function of shear distortion and plastic rotation ... -
Bending and Buckling Behavior of Hollow-Core FRP–Concrete–Steel Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This article presents a numerical study on the behavior of hollow-core fiber-reinforced polymer–concrete–steel (HC-FCS) columns under combined axial compression and lateral loadings. The investigated HC-FCS columns consisted ... -
Behavior and Design of Bridge Piers Subjected to Heavy Truck Collision
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Heavy trucks, such as tractor–semitrailers weighing up to 360 kN, represent a serious collision hazard for unprotected bridge piers. Current specifications recommend designing a bridge pier vulnerable to vehicular impacts ... -
Field Verification over One Year of a Portable Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System for Steel Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Because fatigue damage considerably reduces the service life of steel bridges, maintenance for fatigue damage should be performed properly. For the effective maintenance of fatigue damage, it is important to monitor traffic ... -
Experimental Study on Composite Action in Reinforced Concrete–Filled Steel-Tube Shaft Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A single enlarged shaft foundation is often used to support bridge columns. In some conditions, it is constructed with a permanent steel casing, which is typically ignored in calculating the structural resistance of the ... -
Low-Damage Seismic Design for Accelerated Bridge Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this research, a low-damage seismic design technology has been proposed for accelerated bridge construction (ABC). ABC low damage aims to minimize, and potentially eliminate, damage in a precast bridge during an earthquake. ... -
Stringer Longitudinal Bending–Induced Fatigue Failure of Stringer-to-Floor Beam Welded Connections in Orthotropic Steel Railway Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This article focuses on the fatigue failure of stringer-to-floor beam (SF) welded connections, which are sensitive to fatigue cracking in the orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) of railway bridges. Two full-scale SF welded ... -
System Performance of a Precast Bridge Incorporating Full-Depth Deck Panels and Prestressed Inverted Bulb-Tee Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) allows the use of precast, prestressed double-tee girder bridges in county and local roads because they are economical and fast in construction. However, many of ... -
Experimental and Numerical Studies on Effectiveness of Hybrid FRP Strengthening on Behavior of RC Columns under High Eccentric Compression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper discusses the efficacy of different fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) techniques on the behavior of RC columns under uniaxial high eccentric compression. Eight RC columns were strengthened using three FRP strengthening ... -
Long-Term In Situ Performance Investigation of Orthotropic Steel Bridge Deck Strengthened by SPS and RPC Solutions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The development of fatigue cracks in orthotropic steel bridge decks is a problem that bridge engineers are facing and need to solve urgently. A modified overlay is usually used to strengthen an orthotropic steel bridge ... -
Performance Evaluation of a New Precast Concrete Bridge Deck System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Precast concrete (PC) deck systems have several advantages over cast-in-place (CIP) concrete decks in bridge construction, such as improved quality, reduced construction duration, and less dependence on weather and site ... -
Seismic Performance of Precast Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders Using Field-Cast Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Precast concrete bridges have many advantages over cast-in-place construction. Prefabrication typically requires less time at the site due to the ease of installation. Furthermore, production in a controlled environment ... -
Friction Coefficients for Slide-In Bridge Construction Using PTFE and Steel Sliding Bearings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Slide-in bridge construction (SIBC) has been used in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) for the last decade. Slide-in bridge construction is carried out using bearing pads consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ... -
Rehabilitation of Longitudinal Joints in Double-Tee Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Precast prestressed double-tee girder bridges are common on county bridges in South Dakota. However, the longitudinal joints of these bridges are rapidly deteriorating, causing girder replacement after only 45 years of ... -
Seismic Response of Single Pylon Cable-Stayed Bridge under Scour Effect
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)For a bridge located in a seismically active and flood-prone region, the occurrence of earthquakes combined with flood-induced scour is a highly possible multihazard event. This study quantifies the scour effect on the ... -
Impact Response and Capacity of Precast Concrete Segmental versus Monolithic Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this study, the performance of precast concrete segmental bridge columns (PCSBCs) against truck impacts was numerically investigated and compared with a corresponding conventional monolithic column (CMC). The numerical ... -
Monitoring and Simulation of Long-Term Performance of Precast Concrete Segmental Box Girders with Dry Joints
