Railroad Tie Lateral Resistance on Open Deck Plate Girder Bridges
… resistance of timber crossties on open-deck plate girder bridges using different wood species and types of fasteners. Experimental tests were conducted on five different species of timber crossties (beech, sycamore, southern pine, Douglas-fir, and oak) with three different types of fasteners …

Framework for automated impact detection and condition assessment of through-plate girder railroad bridges
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-10-19 without embargo terms

Web crippling of hot-rolled beams at stiffened-seat connections
… for interior web crippling of short-span plate girders. Yield-line theory and the mechanism solution were used to derive an expression for the web crippling capacity of a plate girder subjected to an interior patch load. The general form of this equation was then calibrated using available …

Behavior of Diagonal Knee Moment End-Plate Connections
… study the behavior of diagonal knee moment end-plate connections and a multiple row extended moment end-plate connection. Diagonal knee moment end-plate connections differ from typical moment end-plate connections because of the large pitch distance required between the top flange and first row …

Static and dynamic characterization of tied arch bridges
… fit in a niche between viable and economical plate girder spans and short cable stayed bridge spans. There are several variations of the tied arch with the most common form being those having vertical hangers, stiff tie girders and slender arch ribs. This tied arch variation is examined …

Assessing possible economic or operational benefits of class 3 webs without stiffeners vs class 4 webs with stiffeners in steel plate girders
… a possible range where the use of deep I-plate girders primarily under bending stresses with thick web plates and no web stiffeners has economical or operational benefits than adoption of plate girder cross-sections with slender web plates reinforced with intermediate transverse …

Response of Cyclically Loaded Extended End-Plate Moment Connections When Used With Welded Built-Up Sections
… conducted to study the behavior of extended end-plate moment connections subjected to cyclic loading. Eleven specimens were tested, representing typical connection configurations used in the metal building manufacturing industry. Four of the beams were shallow (30 in. or less), and seven were …

Assessment of Foundation Rocking Behavior in Reducing the Seismic Demand on Horizontally Curved Bridges
… scale, three-span horizontally curved steel plate girder bridge experiment was conducted on the shake table array in the Large-Scale Structures Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno. The bridge consisted of two abutments and two single column hammer-head piers. In the study, the two …

Computational Study of Highway Bridges Structural Response Exposed to a Large Fire Exposure
… the thermo-structural response of a single steel girder-concrete deck composite assembly to different local, non-uniform fires and uniform standard furnace fire exposures. The steel girder-concrete deck composite assembly was selected since it is a common bridge design. Following this, a series of …
