Development of Embedded EM Sensors for Estimating Tensile Forces of PSC Girder Bridges
The tensile force of pre-stressed concrete (PSC) girders is the most important factor for managing the stability of PSC bridges. The tensile force is induced using pre-stressing (PS) tendons of a PSC girder. Because the PS tendons are located inside of the PSC girder, the tensile force cannot be measured after construction using conventional NDT (non-destructive testing) methods. To monitor the...
متن کاملEconomical 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 کاملDevelopment of dynamic impact factor for performance evaluation of existing multi-girder concrete bridges
The dynamic effect of moving vehicles on bridges is generally treated as a dynamic load allowance (or dynamic impact factor) in many design codes. Due to the road surface deterioration of existing bridges, studies have shown that the calculated impact factors from field measurements could be higher than the values specified in design codes that mainly target at new bridge designs. This paper de...

متن کاملSemi-active damping systems for railway bridges
In this paper, a semi-active control system for vibration mitigation of railway bridges is presented. The real time frequency response is estimated using a short-time Fourier transform, employing curve fitting to relevant peaks for increased accuracy. A control algorithm developed in MATLAB® is linked to a commercial FE-software, facilitating application on arbitrary structures. A numerical stu...
