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 transve

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. Failur

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 significanc

Abstract:
Critical static bridge loading scenarios are often expressed in terms of the number of vehicles that are present on the bridge at the time of occurrence of maximum lifetime load effect. For example, 1-truck, 2-truck, 3-truck, or 4-truck events usually govern the critical static loading cases in short and medium span bridges. However, the dynamic increment of load effect associated with these maximum static events may be assessed inaccurately if it is calculated in isolation of the rest of the traffic flow. In other words, a heavy vehicle preceding a critical loading case causes the bridge init

Composite beams with corrugated steel webs represent a new innovative system which has emerged in the past decade for short and medium span bridges. The new system usually combines the usage of corrugated steel plates as webs and reinforced/prestressed concrete slabs as flanges for plate or box girders. Bridges that have been recently built with this hybrid system are outlined in this paper, which focuses on the advantages of using corrugated steel webs as opposed to traditional flat webs. The flexural behaviour and bearing resistance of girders with corrugated steel webs is briefly discussed.

Precast, prestressed concrete box girders are commonly used as superstructure components for short and medium span bridges. Their configuration and typical side-by-side placement make large portions of these elements inaccessible for visual inspection or the application of nondestructive testing techniques. This paper demonstrates that vibration-based damage detection (VBDD) is an effective alternative for monitoring their structural health. A box girder removed from a dismantled bridge was used to evaluate the ability of five different VBDD algorithms to detect and localize low levels of spal

Abstract:
The assumption that earthquake response of extended structures, of which bridges is one example, may be studied ignoring the possibility of out-of-synch motion of various supports is examined in this paper. The purpose is to assess whether the reduction of dynamic response is sufficient to offset the increase in relative displacements, due to independent motion of different supports. The paper starts with a review of possible damage patterns due to asynchronous motion. Thereafter, a brief literature review is undertaken, followed by an assessment of the status of seismic design codes concernin
