Abstract:

This research presents the results of an experimental program undertaken at the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Constructed Facilities Laboratory (CFL) to evaluate the performance of a new innovative glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck. This bridge deck is produced commercially by Martin Marietta Composites of Raleigh, NC under the trade name of DuraSpan. The experimental program involved examining the behavior of 5.00 inch deep and 7.66 inch deep DuraSpan bridge deck profiles. The program included numerous quasi-static flexural tests, testing of connection details to faci

The Swedish government is planning to increase the maximum vehicle gross load regulations on parts of the national roads from the present 60 t, for the load carrying capacity class BK1, to 74 t, for the proposed new load carrying capacity class BK4.

The biggest obstacle which arises when implementing these increased traffic loads is insufficient load ca

Abstract:

Most of the existing bridges in Montreal have not been designed to resist seismic forces. Although Montreal is not as highly exposed to earthquake hazards as New Zealand, Japan, California, or Vancouver, seismic hazards do exist. Seismic retrofitting has been considered as the most appropriate way to mitigate seismic hazards except for bridges that have a high retrofit cost and rather low importance. As the first step in seismic retrofitting, prioritization of bridges becomes a very important activity.<br>The goal of this thesis is to upgrade the current Canadian prioritization procedure using

Geologists have indicated that the question is not if a catastrophic earthquake will occur in Oregon but when one will occur. Scientists estimate that there is close to 40 percent conditional probability that a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake of magnitude 8.0 or above will strike Oregon in the next 50 years. In addition, the majority of Oregon's bridge inventory was built prior to the current understanding of bridge response and prior to current understanding of the expected earthquake demands. In order to minimize potential bridge damage in the case of an earthquake, one approach is to re

Key factors affecting improved ground performance are the type, size, and location of the treated ground.

Abstract:

Thomson (1910) first suggested that when designing a bridge the static stress should be increased to account for the dynamic nature of vehicle-bridge interaction. Since that time engineers have increased the static design loads on bridges by a factor usually referred to as the impact factor. Between 1925 and 1979 this impact factor was codified throughout the world as a function of maximum span length. In 1979 the Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code (OHBDC) renamed the impact factor as the "Dynamic Load Allowance" (DLA) and specified it as a function of the first flexural frequency of bridge

However, it was not until 1990 that this awareness extended to the moderate seismic regions such as the Central and Southeastern United States (CSUS). This relatively long neglect of seismic issues pertaining to bridges in these moderate seismic zones has resulted in a portfolio of existing bridges with seismic deficiencies which must be assessed and addressed.

It is therefore essential that available funds are used to optimum effect for inspections, maintenance, assessment, repair or replacement.

Recent devastating earthquakes revealed that bridges are one of the most vulnerable components of the transportation systems.

Highway bridges provide a critical lifeline during extreme seismic events and must maintain serviceability under a large range of earthquake intensities.
