Skewed Bridge Behaviors: Experimental, Analytical, And Numerical Analysis
<p>In the US, nearly 33.5% of highway bridges are skewed. In the past, these skewed bridges have been analyzed as straight bridges. Nevertheless, there exists an extensive literature indicating the mechanical behavior of skewed bridges being quite different from their straight counterparts. In this …

Tranverse Deck Reinforcement for Use in Tide Mill Bridge
… optimize the transverse deck reinforcement for a skewed concrete bridge deck supported by Hybrid Composite Beams (HCB's). An HCB consists of a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer outer shell, a concrete arch, and high strength seven wire steel strands running along the bottom to tie the ends of the …

Evaluation of Hybrid-Composite Beam for Use in Tide Mill Bridge
… prior to its use for the replacement of a skewed, simply-supported bridge (Tide Mill Bridge). The HCB is an innovative combination of conventional materials and ideas in a structural beam. The beam consists of a concrete arch tied with prestressing strand that is placed within a …

Brace Effectiveness of Cross-frame Layout and Connection Design on Skewed Steel Bridges During Construction
… Transportation Officials (AASHTO) provisions for bridges with skew angle greater than 20 degrees are based on the assumption that cross-frames are oriented perpendicular to the girder line. There is a potentially significant discrepancy between assumptions implicit in the AASHTO Specifications and …

Experimental Study of Tsunami-Induced Loads on Bridges
… tsunami loads on coastal structures and bridges shows a large variation in the values estimated by the proposed equations and the lack of general agreement even on the types of forces imposed on the bridge decks. Reviewing the available literature revealed that the magnitudes of the …
