Long Span Bridges
Population growth followed by the dramatic increase and demand for new services created an urgent and overwhelming need for infrastructures of civil engineering structures. However, the current infrastructure work using various techniques and conventional materials for construction will not solve the traditional and continuous deterioration of concrete structures due to corrosion of steel. One ...
متن کاملCalibration of a Congestion Load Model for Highway Bridges Using Traffic Microsimulation
For shortto medium-length bridges, the governing traffic loading scenario may be congested traffic. This paper presents the calibration of a congested traffic load model using traffic microsimulation. A range of bridge lengths, forms of construction, and load effects is considered. Different driving parameters and traffic composition are also considered. The influence of these parameters on the...
متن کاملA Genetic Algorithm Approach for Performance Evaluation of Long Span Suspension Bridges
In this paper, several static and deformability parameters of a long suspension bridge are investigated using a genetic algorithm based approach. For each parameter, a genetic algorithm sets the worst loads combination considering both vertical and longitudinal loads. Ten thousand of different loads combinations are considered for each genetic analysis. In this way is also possible to investiga...
متن کاملLive load model for highway bridges *
Load models are developed for highway bridges. The models are based on the available statistical data on dead load, truck loads and dynamic loads. The paper deals mostly with the static live load. The model is derived from truck surveys, weigh-in-motion measurements and other observations. Simple span moments, shears and negative moments are calculated for various spans. Extreme 75 year loads a...
متن کاملElastic-plastic Seismic Behavior of Long Span Cable-stayed Bridges
This paper investigates the elastic-plastic seismic behavior of long span cable-stayed steel bridges through the plane finite-element model. Both geometric and material nonlinearities are involved in the analysis. The geometric nonlinearities come from the stay cable sag effect, axial force-bending moment interaction, and large displacements. Material nonlinearity arises when the stiffening ste...
