Implementing a Long-Term Bridge Monitoring Strategy for a Composite Steel Girder Bridge
… of Transportation have established a long-term bridge health monitoring system to monitor critical vulnerabilities in a group of bridges throughout the state. This research focuses on a three-span, simply supported composite steel girder bridge carrying three lanes of highway traffic. It has …

Impact of Environmental Classification on Steel Girder Bridge Elements Using Bridge Inspection Data
… of Transportation (DOT's) have established Bridge Management Systems (BMS) with procedures to aid in estimating service lives of bridge components and elements. Service life estimates, together with cost information, are used to develop life-cycle costs of bridges. These estimates are …

Assessment of Passive Fire Protection on Steel-Girder Bridges
<p>Bridges in the US are severely damaged or suffer collapse from fires at significant rates, even when compared to other hazards such as earthquakes. Fire-induced bridge collapses are perpetuated by the general lack of installed fire protection systems. Therefore, new materials and applications …

SuperLoad Crossing of Millard Avenue Bridges Over Duck Creek and CSX Railroad
A series of superloads crossed the Millard Avenue Bridges which span over Duck Creek and the CSX railroad. These bridges are located in Toledo and Oregon, Ohio, on the route from the Port of Toledo to a nearby oil refinery. The bridge over Duck Creek is a three span straight slab-on- steel girder …

Thermal Gradients in Southwestern United States and the Effect on Bridge Bearing Loads
Thermal gradients became a component of bridge design after soffit cracking in prestressed concrete bridges was attributed to nonlinear temperature distribution through the depth of the bridge. While the effect of thermal gradient on stress distributions has been previously investigated in concrete …

The Investigation of Transverse Joints and Grouts on Full Depth Concrete Bridge Deck Panels
… joints and blockouts on full depth concrete bridge deck panels. The joints were designed on a deck replacement project for a rural three span continuous steel girder bridge in Virginia. Two cast-in-place and four post-tensioned joints were designed and tested in cyclical loading. Each joint …

Development of a Minimal Information Data - modelling approach for the monitoring of short and medium span bridges
… structural behaviour of short and medium span bridges. A significant number of bridges in many countries are approaching or have exceeded their design life. For this reason, structural health monitoring (SHM) has been widely studied in the last two decades. However, the industrial adoption of …

The Viability of Steel-Concrete Composite Girder Bridges with Continuous Profiled Steel Deck
… short-span, simply supported composite steel girder bridges. However, because shear studs can only be welded to the girder through the steel deck at rib locations, the number of shear stud locations is limited to the number of ribs in the shear span while the spacing of the shear studs …
