Economical Steel Plate Girder Bridges
As a service to the bridge design profession, Bethlehem Steel has conducted hundreds of studies of steel plate girder bridges using its Preliminary Bridge Girder Optimization Program. The program is unique because it optimizes plate girder designs on the basis of least cost, not least weight. An evaluation of many study results leads to a number of guidelines which are offered in this paper. Wh...
متن کاملAnalysis of Girder Differential Deflection and Web Gap Stress for Rapid Assessment of Distortional Fatigue in Multi-Girder Steel Bridges
Distortion-induced fatigue cracking in unstiffened web gaps is common in steel bridges. Previous research by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) developed methods to predict the peak web gap stress and maximum differential deflection based upon field data and finite element analyses from two skew supported steel bridges with staggered bent-plate and cross-brace diaphragms, respe...
متن کاملDesign Optimization and Structural Performance Evaluation of Plate Girder Bridge Constructed Using a Turn-Over Process
A recent trend in bridge construction has been the optimization of the cost-to-performance ratio. The most effective way to optimize the cost-to-performance ratio is to maximize the efficiency of the superstructure. Currently, many bridge engineers and designers favor two- or three- girder plate superstructures, due to their cost advantages. However, research on the performance enhancements of ...
متن کاملComposite Action during Construction of Steel Trapezoidal Box Girder Bridges (0-1898-2)
In steel trapezoidal box girder bridge systems, the U-shaped steel girder is designed to act compositely with the concrete deck to form a closed box for live loading. During the construction stage, however, the behavior is not well understood. The usual practice of assuming the system to be non-composite during construction requires substantial top flange bracing to form a quasi-closed box sect...
متن کاملAnalytical Fragility Curves for Multispan Continuous Steel Girder Bridges in Moderate Seismic Zones
of bridges are typically based on simplified analyses or empirical data from recent earthquakes. Since earthquake damage data are very scarce in the central and southeastern United States (CSUS), using analytical methods is the only feasible approach to obtain fragility curves. In 1990, bridges in the CSUS began incorporating seismic details. Some of the changes included the component design fo...
