Abstract:
Methods for combining both prestressing, high-performance steel and composite concrete decks to improve bridge performance, construe-tibility, aesthetics, and economy are reviewed. The designs are part of a study sponsored by the American Iron and Steel Institute. Five bridge concepts have been developed to the preliminary design phase, including plan details and cost comparisons. Single- and two-span bridges with span lengths of between 24.4 and 54.9 m (80 and 180 ft) have been studied. The alternates developed use prestressing both longitudinally in the main structural components and transversely in the deck. Alternates include a modular space truss, a twin warren truss, a composite steel box, and steel girders. All alternates have either a cast-in-place or a precast concrete deck. Advantages include improved durability and reduced maintenance with the use of prestressing in the deck, which eliminates deck cracking. The use of corrosion-resistant steel eliminates painting requirements. Elimination of deck joints and use of integral piers and abutments also improve durability. Economy can be improved with the combined efficient use of steel, prestressing, and concrete; with the use of jointless bridges and integral abutments and piers; and by increasing shipping lengths, reducing the number of splices, and optimizing construction methods, which are integrated into the design. Construction issues are reviewed to reduce fabrication costs and to simplify bridge erection.

Abstract:
The functional and structural characteristics of civil engineering works, in particular bridges, influence the performance of transport infrastructure. Remote sensing technology and other advanced technologies could help bridge managers review structural conditions and deteriorations through bridge inspection. This paper proposes an artificial intelligence-based methodology to solve the condition assessment of regional bridges and optimize their maintenance schemes. It includes data integration, condition assessment, and maintenance optimization. Data from bridge inspection reports is the main source of this data-driven approach, which could provide a substantial amount og condition-related information to reveal the time-variant bridge condition deterioration and effect of maintenance behaviors. The regional bridge condition deterioration model is established by neural networks, and the impact of the maintenance scheme on the future condition of bridges is quantified. Given the need to manage limited resources and ensure safety and functionality, adequate maintenance schemes for regional bridges are optimized with genetic algorithms. The proposed data-driven methodology is applied to real regional highway bridges. The regional inspection information is obtained with the help of emerging technologies. The established structural deterioration models achieve up to 85% prediction accuracy. The obtained optimal maintenance schemes could be chosen according to actual structural conditions, maintenance requirements, and total budget. Data-driven decision support can substantially aid in smart and efficient maintenance planning of road bridges.

Abstract:
Previous analytical and experimental work by the authors has determined that integrated shell-deck segments can be used to construct short- or medium-span bridges. This system consisted of integrated shell-deck concrete segments that are post-tensioned together to form a simply supported bridge. A 1:3-scale segmental concrete shell bridge model was tested to failure. The bridge model was subjected to increasing load until failure occurred. Before failure, excessive deflection, cracking, and buckling of some of the steel elements connecting the deck to the shell edge beams were observed. Failure of the model resulted from the formation of excessive diagonal shear cracks in the shell portion of one of the segments. The fabrication and the behavior of the bridge model indicated that shell bridges can be used to construct short- and medium-span segmental bridges.

Abstract:
Damage accumulation and resistance decrease inevitably happen to bridge structures due to the effects of earthquakes, impact loads, wind load and corrosion during their service time. Once the damages of the key components accumulate to a certain level, they would spread promptly, causing the sudden destruction of the whole structure if not found and dealt with in time. So the structural damages would not only shorten the operation life of structure but also threaten the human lives and financial safety. Therefore, the technology of damage diagnosis of bridge structure holds supreme significance. This paper summarized the current research situation of the existing bridge diagnosis methods and analyzed the characteristics of each method through the reading and studying of the related material both domestically and internationally. Among those methods, only the diagnosis method based on load tests is the most direct and effective one for current bridge diagnosis, the diagnosis results of which shows higher reliability. And the structural dynamic characteristic method based on dynamic load tests could beautifully avoid the disadvantages of the static load tests, becoming the main development direction of rapid diagnosis of bridge. Furthermore, lastly it elaborated the analysis of the key problems of breaking through the development bottleneck of current rapid diagnosis methods of bridge, creating a solid foundation for the future research.

Abstract:
The inverted T-beam bridge system provides an accelerated bridge construction alternative for short-to-medium-span bridges. The system consists of adjacent precast inverted T-beams finished with a cast-in-place concrete topping. The system offers enhanced performance against reflective cracking, and reduces the likelihood of cracking due to time dependent effects. The effects of transverse bending due to concentrated wheel loads are investigated with respect to reflective cracking. Transverse bending moment are quantified and compared to transverse moment capacities provided by a combination of various cross-sectional shapes and transverse connections. A design methodology for transverse bending is suggested. Tensile stresses created due to time dependent and temperature effects are quantified at the cross-sectional and structure level and strategies for how to alleviate these tensile stresses are proposed. Because differential shrinkage is believed to be one of the causes of deck cracking in composite bridges, a study on shrinkage and creep properties of seven deck mixes is presented with the goal of identifying a mix whose long terms properties reduce the likelihood of deck cracking. The effects of differential shrinkage at a cross-sectional level are numerically demonstrated for a variety of composite bridge systems and the resistance of the inverted T-beam system against time dependent effects is highlighted. End stresses in the end zones of such a uniquely shaped precast element are investigated analytically in the vertical and horizontal planes. Existing design methods are evaluated and strut-and-tie models, calibrated to match the results of 3-D finite element analyses, are proposed as alternatives to existing methods to aid designers in sizing reinforcing in the end zones. Composite action between the precast beam and the cast-in-place topping is examined via a full scale test and the necessity of extended stirrups is explored. It is concluded that because of the large contact surface between the precast and cast-in-place elements, cohesion alone appears to provide the necessary horizontal shear strength to ensure full composite action. Live load distribution factors are quantified analytically and by performing four live loads tests. It is concluded that AASHTO's method for cast-in-place slab span bridges can be conservatively used in design.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
This study addresses two separate but related problems. They are detrimental effects of extreme gravity and seismic loadings, which were not considered in the original design, on slab-on-girder steel bridges. In the first part of this thesis the effect of extreme gravity loads on slab-on-girder steel bridges is studied. Currently, in many jurisdictions of North America, special permits are issued to extra-heavy vehicles considering only the ultimate capacity of the bridges. Based on this, a large number of special permits have been issued to extra-heavy vehicles, and therefore concerns have been raised since the cumulative effect of such overloads have never been assessed. In this perspective, the ultimate and cumulative effect of such overloads on bridge components is studied. Typical heavy permit-truck configurations are selected to investigate their effect on steel bridges. As a first step, influence line analyses are conducted to find the ranges of spans of simply supported and continuous bridges for which heavy permit-trucks have the most detrimental effects. In the light of these observations, a number of actual bridges within the estimated span length limits are analyzed to find the bridge members largely affected by such overloads. Next, a literature review is conducted to appraise the state-of-knowledge on the impact of infrequent stress-range excursions produced by heavy loads on fatigue life of bridge members. The effect of variable amplitude loading due to both Ontario truck traffic and heavy permit trucks on fatigue life of bridge members is investigated. Analytical expressions to calculate the fatigue life and the reduction in fatigue life of bridges due to heavy permit-trucks, without the need for a detailed analysis of each bridge, are derived and presented, along with a fatigue-based methodology to assess the reduction in service life of bridges attributable to heavy-permit trucks. Finally, using the derived equations, a sample permit-policy is presented assuming that a two percent reduction in fatigue life due to heavy permit-trucks is acceptable. In the second part, the response of bridge superstructure components to seismic excitations is investigated. Single span simply supported, continuous and multi-span simply supported bridges are studied by varying their geometric and structural properties. Linear and nonlinear dynamic analyses of these bridges are conducted for earthquakes of different characteristic and intensity considering only the superstructure. The forces and displacements of superstructure components which significantly affect the response, are determined as a function of the selected properties and earthquake types. Then, using these results, a methodology is developed for ranking and rapid seismic evaluation of existing steel bridges. Bearing forces due to seismic excitation in both transverse and longitudinal direction are found to be proportional to the mass of the bridge, span length, and bearings' stiffness. The effect of span length, number of spans, column size and steel strength on the seismic response of continuous and multi-span simply supported bridges are studied. Next, sliding of bridges after the bearings are severed is investigated. High intensity earthquakes are required to slide multi-span simply supported bridges when the bearings at the abutments are severed but single span simply supported and continuous bridges may have considerable sliding displacements depending on the $A\sb{p}/V\sb{p}$ ratio of earthquakes. The effect of cross-bracing as a retrofitting element for continuous and multi-span simply supported bridges is investigated. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Abstract:
This thesis compares the consumption of primary superstructure material in a conventional single span CPCI system with those of double-T alternatives. The CPCI system is currently the preferred bridge type for short and medium spans in Canada, despite its relatively inefficient use of materials due to imperfect live load sharing among multiple parallel girders. The double-T alternatives utilize slender double-T cross-sections, fully precast segments, and post-tensioning in both longitudinal and transverse direction. The economy of the CPCI and double-T systems is compared within the framework of four sample designs. The results indicate that the double-T systems are in general more efficient than the CPCI system and have the potential to achieve better economy.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;Modal parameter identification has been one of the key issues in the research of indirect bridge structural health monitoring. This paper presents a new indirect approach identifying modal parameters for short and medium span bridges, using dynamic responses of three connected vehicles. Accelerations of these vehicles are firstly subtracted to eliminate road roughness effects, so that the bridge frequency visibility in the frequency domain is improved. The wavelet analysis is performed to identify modal frequencies and shapes of bridges from the subtracted acceleration of moving vehicles. Systematic numerical experiments are performed to investigate the fidelity of the approach. Results show that the proposed approach can identify the bridge modal frequencies and shapes with promising accuracy and robustness.&lt;/p&gt;

These welded steel decks are ideal manufacturable products incorporating repeated details that are amenable to automated fabrication. Based on the lessons learnt from service performance of these decks and the knowledgebase from significant research performed over the years, a standard deck design is proposed, which can be easily integrated as a prefabricated modular deck for rapid and economic construction of short and medium span steel girder and stringer bridges both for new construction and rehabilitation. This deck design effectively addresses the challenges to wide spread implementation of steel orthotropic decks for medium and short span bridges, providing a life-cycle cost-effective solution for urban bridge infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;In China, most of the support systems applied by short/medium span bridges are elastomeric pad bearings (EPBs). This type of support system has no reliable connections between bearings and girders as well as bearings and piers, which will cause structural damages due to large lateral displacement of bearings under earthquakes. The restrainers used currently could restrict the deformation of bridges under normal service conditions and could only restrict unidirectional displacement. Considering the disadvantages of these restrainers, a new restrainer called Connected Cable Restrainer (CCR), which can be used in short/medium span bridges supported by EPBs, is developed in this paper. The design principle, basic configuration, isolation mechanism and the design method of CCR are introduced. A pseudo static test to study the seismic performance of CCR is conducted. Seismic responses of a 3-span continuous girder bridge with CCR are simulated using OpenSees platform and parametric analyses of the two main parameters, lateral restraining displacement and restraining stiffness, are also carried out. Results show that the deformation of bridges under normal service conditions would not be restrained using CCR and the displacement responses can be mitigated effectively by using CCR through parameter optimization.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;Short and medium span continuous steel-concrete composite (SCC) girder bridges are becoming more and more popular. The problems caused by the negative bending moment in the continuous SCC girders cannot be ignored. In order to investigate the performances of the continuous joints between adjacent SCC girders, consist of steel endplates and headed shear stud connected to concrete cross-beam, the finite element model was built by using ABAQUS software, of which the accuracy was verified by experimental results. The parametric analyses were carried out to investigate the influences of the strength and reinforcement ratio of the concrete slabs in SCC girders, and the diameters of the horizontal headed shear studs on the performances of the joints. The ultimate moment capacity of the joint increases with the increase in the strength and reinforcement ratio of concrete slab and the diameters of the horizontal headed shear studs.&lt;/p&gt;
