Abstract:
There are few researches on seismic response of reinforced concrete rib arch bridges at present; therefore, it is necessary to analyze seismic performance of this kind of bridges. Based on the engineering background of a three-span reinforced concrete rib arch bridge, a full bridge finite element model is built to analyze the structural dynamic characteristic and seismic response of the bridge. The internal forces and displacements of each key section is compared and discussed when the bridge is excited by horizontal unidirectional ground motion or the combination of vertical and horizontal ground motion. The structural seismic response calculated with different analysis methods is compared. The research results of this study can be used as a reference for the seismic design of similar bridges.

Abstract:
Reinforced concrete bridges may have various systems: Beam (with simply supported or continuous beams), Frame, Arch, or combined of it.. Beam reinforced concrete bridges are the most common type, Spans with plate structure are generally used to cover gaps of 6–18 m. Ribbed spans with main beams supporting the plate of .The bridge floor are used to cover gaps of more than 12m. For gaps of more than 40 m, beam spans frequently have box shaped cross sections. Arch systems are most appropriate for bridges on stable soil. The spans of beam-type reinforced concrete bridges are up to 200 m; those of archer in forced concrete bridges, up to 300 m. The main advantages of reinforced concrete bridges are durability and relatively low maintenance cost. Precast reinforced-concrete bridges, using finished plant-Manufactured components, are the type primarily built in the USSR. Methods of suspension assembly of spans and delivery of precast components to local areas by ships are extremely efficient in the construction of large reinforced-concrete bridges.

Abstract:
The SRC (steel-frame reinforced concrete) arch bridge is an important part of the development of arch bridges. Scholars worldwide have studied it from various aspects because of its stronger stiffness and stability than other types of bridges especially when crossing the canyon. The steel frame is a stress bracket during construction. Concrete becomes the main axial-pressure bearing structure when it fills the inner pipe and the encased frame. This article mainly focuses on the crack problems of SRC arch bridging during the postconstruction operation, local model of the midspan arch rib, and the equivalent relationship between the coefficient of expansion and the temperature of concrete. This study uses a cooling method to simulate the shrinkage process with detailed analysis of three properties including concrete shrinkage, temperature gradients, and concentrated hanger rod force. It is concluded that the SRC arch bridge will have large tensile stress on both inner and outer surfaces of slab and web when the temperature changes, and it is the main cause of cracks. The results agree well with measured data. At last, we come up with some reference suggestions in the design and construction of similar bridges in the future.

Abstract:
As the requirements of traffic functions and urban landscape, a reinforced concrete arch- deck bridge is designed with archaized connective corridors. The main dimensions and drawings are introduced and the static analytical results of the bridge are discussed in this paper. The numerical model was built by the integrated solution system for bridge and civil engineering- MIDAS/Civil. The results show that the temperature of bridge and the horizontal shift at arch toes due to sedimentation play important roles sensitively influencing the bending moments and displacements of control sections. Compared numerical results of the bridge only with dead loads, the maximum bending moments and displacements would reach 3.81 times and 6.52 times respectively. The axial force of arch is mainly resulted from dead loads, which gradually increases from arch crown to arch toes. The design and numerical results would give some references to similar bridges.

Abstract:
This study assessed the structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) arch bridges under strong ground motion. A detailed three-dimensional finite element model of a 400 m RC arch bridge with composite superstructure and double RC piers was developed and its behavior when subjected to strong earthquakes examined. Two sets of ground motion records were applied to simulate pulse-type near- and far-field motions. The inelastic behavior of the concrete elements was then evaluated via a seismic time history analysis. The concept of Demand to Capacity Ratios (DCR) was utilized to produce an initial estimate of the dynamic performance of the structure, emphasizing the importance of capacity distribution of force and bending moment within the RC arch and the springings and piers of the bridge. The results showed that the earthquake loads, broadly categorized as near- and far-field earthquake loads, changed a number of the bridge’s characteristics and hence its structural performance.

Abstract:
This paper presents an evaluation study of the performance of reinforced concrete arch bridge structures under earthquake load. The study is aimed to investigate the seismic performance of Wreksodiningrat Bridge, located in the province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This bridge is a three spans reinforced concrete arch bridge with a main span length of 75 m and two side spans with a length of 35 m, respectively. This study is a part of a large project carried out by the Ministry of Public Works to study the impact of the new 2016 Indonesia Seismic Design Code for Bridges (SNI 2833:2016). The main objective of this paper is to determine the displacement demands due to earthquake load based on the new seismic code design for bridges, SNI 2833:2016. In addition, demand capacity ratios (D/C) of the main structural components, such as the compression arch and main column (pier) at the fixed support, are also reviewed in this paper. The analysis was carried out using nonlinear modal pushover analysis. The arch bridge modeling is three dimensional, where structural elements such as beams, columns, and compression arches are modeled as frame elements. The plastic hinges are modeled as fiber hinges with unconfined and confined concrete material stress-strain relationship following Mander formula. The analysis result shows that the displacement demands of the bridge are 2.9 cm and 20 cm in the longitudinal and transverse direction, respectively. The D/C ratios of the compression arch due to demand earthquake load are 0.74 and 0.95 in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the bridge, while the D/C ratios of the pier are 0.15 and 0.80 in the longitudinal and transverse direction. Based on the above results, it is concluded that the studied bridge is able to withstand the seismic load requirements in the new Indonesia Seismic Design Code.

Abstract:
This research project is the second part of a research program carried out by Itagawa (2005) who studied the seismic response of a half-scale model of an existing Montreal bridge built in the 1960's. This project studies the seismic behaviour of the retrofit carried out on the frame structure studied in the first part of the research program. The retrofit was made following the requirements of the current Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC). The philosophy of the CHBDC is to provide flexural yielding in the ductile elements so that brittle failure modes such as shear are prevented. This capacity-design approach resulted in a ductile response and significant energy dissipation of the retrofitted structure.
The retrofit was designed in accordance with the CHBDC provisions. The cap beam and the beam-column joint regions were strengthened with a reinforced concrete sleeve containing additional transverse and longitudinal bars so that plastic hinging would form in the columns. This retrofit represents minimum intervention to improve the response of the frame. The retrofit frame was then subjected to both gravity loads and reversed cyclic loading to simulate seismic loading on the structure. The predictions of the response of the retrofitted frame provided reasonable estimates of first yielding in the column and the general yielding of the frame. Although the columns would not meet the requirements for ductile columns, they had sufficient shear strength and did exhibit a displacement ductility of about 2.3.

Abstract:
The use of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) in the construction industry started in the 1990s and has since then been used for bridges all over the world. The mechanical properties and the dense matrix result in lower material usage and superior durability compared to conventional concrete, but the implementation of UHPFRC in the Swedish industry has been delayed. The most evident explanation, based on interview with industry representatives, as to why UHPFRC is not commonly used in Sweden are due to the lack of standards and knowledge. UHPFRC also has a high cement content and the cement industry contributes with high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the total CO2 emissions in the world. This MSc Thesis looks into if a UHPFRC bridge is a feasible alternative to a conventional reinforced concrete structure bridge from design and material usage perspectives, regarding reduction of CO2 emissions. The project’s overall goal is to increase the knowledge in Sweden about the material, regarding the production, mechanical properties and behaviour of UHPFRC, and the design, regarding the difference in design between UHPFRC and conventional concrete bridges. To examine the material, a UHPFRC mixture with short straight steel fibres was developed. Specimens were tested to see how the different fibre contents affect the mechanical properties and which fibre content that is most favourable. Three different fibre contents were tested: 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5% of the total volume of the mixture. The tested and evaluated mechanical properties were workability, flexural strength, tensile strength, fracture energy, compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. This study does not contain tests of durability of UHPFRC, however trough the literature review it was investigated to what extent the fibres affect the durability. It was concluded that an increase in fibre content results in improved mechanical properties, except for workability and in some cases when using a fibre content of 2.5%. The increase in the mechanical properties is due to the increased cracking resistance and the bond strength between the fibres and the matrix. The decrease in the mechanical properties, e.g. characteristic tensile strength and compressive strength of cylinders, for 2.5% in fibre content can be due to uneven fibre distribution and higher amount of air in the specimens which result in less strength. It was concluded that 2.0% in fibre content is most favourable. It was possible to conclude that the degradation of the fibres takes a long time, however not to what extent the fibres will affect the durability. To evaluate if UHPFRC is a viable economical and environmental alternative to regular concrete bridges, three cases of bridge design are considered. Two cases with UHPFRC (different thickness) and one case with conventional concrete. Up to 2017 only technical guidelines and recommendations for design with UHPFRC existed, but in 2017 the first approved standards in the world were published. The French national standards cover material (NF P18-470, 2016) and design (NF P18-710, 2016) and were used for the design process. The material usage regarding the amount of reinforced UHPFRC/concrete and steel reinforcement as well as the amount of CO2 emissions from the production of cement and steel (fibre and steel reinforcement) used for the bridges in the mid-span and at the support were investigated. The design process was also evaluated. It was concluded that the UHPFRC bridge with an optimized thickness was 47% lighter than the conventional concrete bridge, but the amount of CO2 emissions was still higher (e.g. 23% from the support). To be able to determine if a UHPFRC bridge is a feasible alternative to a conventional concrete bridge, with regards to the reduction of CO2 emissions, the CO2 emissions have to be observed in a wider perspective than only from the production of cement and steel, e.g. fewer transports and longer lifetime.
Användningen av ultrahögpresterande fiberbetong (UHPFRC) i anläggningsindustrin började på 1990-talet och har sedan dess använts till broar i hela världen. De mekaniska egenskaperna och den täta UHPFRC matrisen resulterar i lägre materialanvändning och bättre beständighet i jämförelse med konventionell betong, men användningen av UHPFRC har inte slagit igenom i den svenska industrin. De största förklaringarna till varför UHPFRC sällan används i Sverige är för att det inte har funnits kunskap och standarder. UHPFRC har också en hög cementhalt och cementindustrin bidrar med höga koldioxid (CO2) utsläpp till de totala CO2 utsläppen i världen. Den här masteruppsatsen skrevs för att undersöka om en UHPFRC bro är ett möjligt alternativ till en konventionell betongbro ur dimensionering- och materialanvändningssynpunkt med avseende på reduktion av CO2 utsläpp. Projektets övergripande mål är att öka kunskapen om materialet, med avseende på tillverkningen, de mekaniska egenskaperna och beteendet av UHPFRC, och dimensionering, med avseende på skillnaden i dimensionering mellan UHPFRC broar och konventionella betongbroar. I materialdelen utvecklades ett UHPFRC recept med korta raka stålfibrer. Provkroppar testades för att se hur olika fiberinnehåll påverkade de mekaniska egenskaperna och vilket fiberinnehåll som var mest gynnsamt. Tre olika fiberinnehåll testades: 1.5%, 2.0% och 2.5% av total volym av blandningen. De mekaniska egenskaperna som testades och utvärderades var bearbetbarheten, böjhållfasthet, draghållfasthet, fraktur energi, tryckhållfasthet och elasticitetsmodul. Beständigheten av UHPFRC testades aldrig men i vilken omfattning fibrerna påverkar beständigheten undersöktes i den litteraturstudie som skrevs inför testerna och tillverkningen av UHPFRC. Det konstaterades att en ökning i fiberinnehåll resulterade i en ökning av de mekaniska egenskaperna, förutom för bearbetbarheten och i vissa fall när ett fiberinnehåll av 2.5% användes. Ökningen av de mekaniska egenskaperna berodde på det ökande sprickmotståndet och bindningsstyrka mellan fibrerna och matrisen. Minskningen av de mekaniska egenskaperna, till exempel den karakteristiska drag- och tryckhållfastheten, när ett fiberinnehåll på 2.5% i cylindrar användes kan bero på ojämn fiberfördelning och större mängd luft i provkropparna vilket resulterar i lägre hållfasthet. Det konstaterades att ett fiberinnehåll på 2.0% var det mest gynnsamma. Det kunde inte konstateras i vilken omfattning fibrerna påverkar beständigheten men det kunde konstateras att nedbrytningen av fibrerna tar lång tid. I dimensioneringsdelen utformades tre slakarmerade balkbroöverbyggnader, i två fall var överbyggnaden med UHPFRC (olika tjocklekar) och i ett fall var den med konventionell betong. Fram till 2017 fanns det bara tekniska riktlinjer och rekommendationer för UHPFRC men 2017 publicerades de första godkända standarderna i världen. De franska nationella standarderna täcker material (NF P18-470, 2016) och dimensionering (NF P18-710, 2016) och användes vid dimensioneringen. Materialanvändningen med avseende på mängd armerad UHPFRC/betong och slakarmering och mängd CO2 utsläpp från produktionen av cement och stål (fibrer och slakarmering) som användes till broarna i mittenspannet och vid stöden undersöktes. Även dimensioneringsprocessen utvärderades. Det konstaterades att UHPFRC bron med optimerad tjocklek var 47% lättare än betongbron men mängden CO2 utsläpp var fortfarande högre (till exempel 23% högre från stödet). Det konstaterades att om det ska vara möjligt att fastställa att en UHPFRC bro är ett möjligt alternativ till en konventionell betongbro, med avseende på reduktion av CO2 utsläpp, måste CO2 utsläppen ses från ett bredare perspektiv än från bara produktion av cement och stål, till exempel mindre transporter och längre livslängd.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the seismic analysis and behaviour of continuous 4-span bridges. Different methods of analyses including linear multi-mode analysis, inelastic time history analysis and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) are used for the seismic evaluations of bridges in this study.This thesis includes two main parts. In the first part the seismic behaviour of bridges with different column heights (i.e., irregularity due to different column stiffnesses) is studied. The seismic evaluations are carried out in the transverse and longitudinal directions of bridges to recognize the important aspects which influence the seismic behaviour. Parametric studies were carried out for a number of bridges in the transverse and the longitudinal directions. To perform a large number of designs and analyses, a computer program was developed to design the bridges, perform the modelling and extract and evaluate the analysis results. The effects of different column heights, different column diameters, different superstructure mass and stiffness, as well as different abutment conditions on the seismic response of bridges were studied using elastic and inelastic analyses. The results from the elastic and inelastic analyses were compared to demonstrate the limitations of the linear analyses for the seismic design and evaluation of irregular bridges. The effects of including nonlinear abutment models with different stiffness and strengths were also studied in the longitudinal response of the bridges. Seismic ductility demands and concentration of ductility demands were evaluated and the maximum demand to capacity ratios were predicted for a wide range of bridges studied. The use of different regularity indices to predict the seismic response of bridges was also investigated.In the second part of the thesis, the use of incremental dynamic analysis for seismic evaluation of bridges is studied. The influence of different record selection methodologies including the UHS-based, CMS-based and epsilon-based methods on the predictions of the IDA results is investigated. In addition, the effects of different earthquake types including crustal, subduction interface and subduction inslab earthquakes on the IDA results are studied. Three large record sets were selected for three earthquake types and a fast algorithm was developed for the incremental dynamic analysis to evaluate the collapse capacity of different bridge configurations subjected to different earthquake types. The IDA results were also predicted for different subsets of records with specific characteristics. The effects of spectral shapes and epsilon values were also considered using seismic hazard deaggregation results.
Cette étude se concentre sur l'analyse sismique et sur le comportement des ponts à 4 portées continues. Différentes méthodes d'analyse, telles que la méthode multimode linéaire, la méthode temporelle non linéaire et la méthode d'analyse dynamique incrémentale (ADI), sont utilisées pour l'évaluation sismique de ponts.Cette thèse se divise en deux parties principales. Dans la première partie, le comportement sismique des ponts composés de colonnes de différentes hauteurs (c'est-à-dire, irrégularité causée par différentes raideurs de colonne) est étudié. Les évaluations sismiques sont réalisées dans les directions transversal et longitudinal des ponts afin de considérer les aspects importants qui influencent le comportement sismique. Des études paramétriques furent réalisées pour un certain nombre de ponts (c'est-à-dire 648 ponts dans la direction transversale et plus de 2500 cas dans la direction longitudinale). Afin d'effectuer un grand nombre de dimensionnements et d'analyses, un programme informatique fut développé pour dimensionner des ponts, effectuer la modélisation et extraire et évaluer les résultats d'analyse. Les effets de différentes hauteurs de colonne, de différents diamètres de colonne, de différentes masses et raideurs de la superstructure, et de différentes conditions de butée sur la réponse sismique des ponts furent étudiés en utilisant des analyses élastiques et inélastiques. Les résultats des analyses élastiques et inélastiques furent comparés afin de démontrer les limitations des analyses linéaires pour le dimensionnement et l'évaluation sismique des ponts irréguliers. Les effets sur la réponse longitudinale des ponts de modèles de butée non linéaires considérant différentes résistances et raideurs (incluant différentes longueurs d'espace de joint et différents nombres de piles) furent également étudiés. Les demandes sismiques en ductilité et la concentration des demandes en ductilité furent évaluées et la demande maximale des ratios en capacité fut prédite pour un large éventail de ponts étudiés. L'utilisation de différents indices de régularité pour prédire la réponse sismique des ponts fut aussi examinée.Dans la seconde partie de la thèse, l'utilisation de l'ADI pour l'évaluation sismique des ponts est étudiée. L'influence de différentes méthodes de sélection d'enregistrement (incluant les méthodes basées sur l'aléa sismique, le spectre moyen conditionnel et l'epsilon) sur les prédictions obtenues avec l'ADI est examinée. De plus, l'effet de considérer différents types de tremblement de terre (incluant des tremblements de terre de surface et de subduction) sur les résultats de l'ADI est étudié. Présentement, seulement les tremblements de terre de surface sont utilisés pour l'évaluation de la performance sismique des structures. Les procédures actuelles ne sont pas nécessairement appropriées pour les régions soumises à des tremblements de terre de subduction. Trois ensembles d'enregistrement furent sélectionnés pour trois types de tremblement de terre (c'est-à-dire un total de 3 x 78 = 234 enregistrements). Un algorithme à calcul rapide fut développé pour l'ADI afin d'évaluer la capacité à l'effondrement de différentes configurations de pont soumises à différents types de tremblement de terre. Les résultats de l'ADI furent également prédits pour différents sous-ensembles d'enregistrements ayant des caractéristiques spécifiques (c'est-à-dire des valeurs d'epsilon positives, des faibles facteurs d'échelle, etc.). Les effets des spectres de réponse et des valeurs d'epsilon furent aussi considérés en utilisant les résultats de désagrégation du risque sismique.

Abstract:
Performance based design (PBD) has been deemed as one of the most promising design methods in the past few decades. It reduces the uncertainties underline the tradition force based design (FBD) and acts as an efficient communication tool between technical and non-technical people. Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC) has initiated PBD in Canada in 2014, which brought in one of the biggest changes to the new version of the design code. For Lifeline bridges and irregular Major Route bridges, the code requires PBD to be used to explicitly demonstrate structural performance. As per the code, Regular Major Route bridges can be designed by using either FBD or PBD method. In this study, a multi-bent concrete highway bridge is designed using both FBD and PBD based on CHBDC 2014, and FBD based on CHBDC 2006. The evaluation of different designs is performed to determine which method is more conservative. Soil-structure interaction is incorporated using p-y method in the design and analysis. Dynamic time-history analyses are performed to assess the seismic performance. The assessment is based on the maximum strain limits from CHBDC 2014. The results reveal that the PBD in CHBDC 2014 is highly conservative in comparison with FBD in current and previous design codes. This is because CHBDC 2014 requires rebar yielding shall not happen at 1/475-year earthquake event. Eliminating rebar yielding at 1/475-year event may be very challenging to achieve in high seismic regions and 1/475-year event may dominate other design levels. After performing the PBD, a displacement based design approach is also used to examine the performance criteria from the code. It is shown that by using displacement based approach the PBD could be simplified for regular bridges. Additionally, a series of charts of column drift versus steel strain are presented to facilitate future engineering designs. At the end, the methodology of the next generation PBD is utilized to compare the seismic performance of bridges in terms of engineering demand parameters and decision variables.

Abstract:
The in opera concrete bridges characterize often the landscapes crossed by old roads and railways. In particular the arch bridges represent a product of human genius and, in some cases, of his art. In the last few years, at the SmartLab laboratory of the University of Calabria, there were developed activities in the field of surveying, monitoring and representation of structures. In the framework of these activities, Geomatics techniques for the surveying of bridges are widely used since 2014. The results of the measurements are used for documentation and representation purposes, as well as for the reconstruction of the constructive procedures. The finite element modeling of the structures has been obtained to simulate their behavior in case of earthquake. This article describes the activities relating to a bridge dated back to the 50s of the twentieth century: it is an arch bridge made of reinforced concrete. The surveying is aimed to determine the exact reconstruction of the geometry, the identification of the foundation settlement as well as the Finite Element Modeling (FEM) in order to allow structural identification and reverse engineering process. The instruments and techniques used for surveying and modeling operations, along with the deviations between models and "as built" are described.

Abstract:
<p>Based on the rating from visual inspection and proposed weighting through component, system and network level, assessment procedure resulting with set of six most important Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for road bridges is presented. Those are: bridge condition assessment, structural safety, traffic safety, durability indicator, availability and bridge importance in the network. KPIs organised in the radar shaped diagram serve for priority repair ranking decisions. The procedure is elaborated at the sample of five actual bridges: two reinforced concrete arch bridges, one with solid and other with hollowed cross-sections; one frame type bridge with V shaped piers; one precast slab overpass; one solid slab continuous bridge with Y type piers. Bridges are built between 1958 and 2001 and are located either at the state or at the local roads in Croatia. Spans are varying from</p><p>9.5 to 72 m and overall lengths from 22 to 120 m.</p>

Abstract:
<p>This paper presents an innovative footbridge consisting in an arch in UHPFRC with filling in expanded clay grains crushed and spandrel walls in gabion. The analysis of Béziers’ architectural heritage leads to propose an innovative design concept: build a bridge without any dilatation joint and bearing, resort to a millenary technology but adapt it to a contemporary material, the Ultra-High- Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). The repetitive use of similar elements in the arch allows minimising the incidence of formwork complexity and consequently, allows respecting the maximum overall costs. The footbridge has a main span around 36 m and a 3,5 m effective width.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
This report describes a methodology for demand estimate through the improvement of load distribution factors in reinforced concrete flat-slab and T-beam bridges. The proposed distribution factors are supported on three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element (FE) analysis tools. The Conventional Load Rating (CLR) method currently in use by INDOT relies on a two-dimensional (2D) analysis based on beam theory. This approach may overestimate bridge demand as the result of neglecting the presence of parapets and sidewalks present in these bridges. The 3D behavior of a bridge and its response could be better modeled through a 3D computational model by including the participation of all elements. This research aims to investigate the potential effect of railings, parapets, sidewalks, and end-diaphragms on demand evaluation for purposes of rating reinforced concrete flat-slab and T-beam bridges using 3D finite element analysis. The project goal is to improve the current lateral load distribution factor by addressing the limitations resulting from the 2D analysis and ignoring the contribution of non-structural components. Through a parametric study of the slab and T-beam bridges in Indiana, the impact of selected parameters on demand estimates was estimated, and modifications to the current load distribution factors in AASHTO were proposed.

Abstract:
For bridges that are experiencing deterioration, action is needed to ensure the structural performance is adequate for the demands imposed. Innovate repair and strengthening techniques can provide a cost-effective means to extend the service lives of bridges efficiently and safely. The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for the repair and strengthening of concrete bridges is increasing in popularity. Recognizing the potential benefits of the widespread use of FRP, a research project was initiated to determine the most appropriate applications of FRP in Indiana and provide recommendations for the use of FRP in the state for the repair and strengthening of bridges. The details of the research are presented in two volumes. Volume 1 provides the details of a study conducted to (1) summarize the state-of-the-art methods for the application of FRP to concrete bridges, (2) identify successful examples of FRP implementation for concrete bridges in the literature and examine past applications of FRP in Indiana through case studies, and (3) better understand FRP usage and installation procedures in the Midwest and Indiana through industry surveys. Volume 2 presents two experimental programs that were conducted to develop and evaluate various repair and strengthening methodologies used to restore the performance of deteriorated concrete bridge beams. The first program investigated FRP flexural strengthening methods, with a focus on adjacent box beam bridges. The second experimental program examined potential techniques for repairing deteriorated end regions of prestressed concrete bridge girders. Externally bonded FRP and near-surface-mounted (NSM) FRP were considered in both programs.

Abstract:
This research experimentally and numerically evaluated the reserve strength of girder bridges due to bridge rail load shedding. The investigation included: (1) performing non-destructive field testing on two steel girder bridges and one prestressed concrete girder bridge, (2) developing validated finite element numerical models, and (3) performing parametric numerical investigations using the validated numerical modeling approach. Measured data indicated that intact, integral, reinforced concrete rails participate in carrying live load. Research results culminated in recommendations to evaluate the reserve strength of girder bridges due to the participation of the rail, as well as recommendations for bridge inspectors for evaluating steel girder bridges subjected to vehicular collision.

Abstract:
As part of an inspection, bridge inspectors assign condition ratings to the main components of a bridge’s structural system and identify any defects that they observe. Condition ratings are necessarily somewhat subjective, as they are influenced by the experience of the inspectors. In the current work, procedures were developed for making inferences on the reliability of reinforced concrete girders with defects at both the cross section and the girder level. The Bayesian network (BN) tools constructed in this work use simple structural m echanics to model the capacity of girders. By using expert elicitation, defects observed during inspection are correlated with underlying deterioration mechanisms. By linking these deterioration mechanisms with reductions in mechanical properties, inferences on the reliability of a bridge can be made based on visual observation of defects. With more development, this BN tool can be used to compare conditions of bridges relative to one another and aid in the prioritization of repairs. However, an extensive survey of bridges affected by deterioration mechanisms is needed to confidently establish valid relationships between deterioration severity and mechanical properties.
