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 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...
متن کاملAccurate Stress Analysis on Steel Box Girder of Long Span Suspension Bridges Based on Multi-Scale Submodeling Method
The streamline flat steel box girder is broadly used in long span cablesupported bridges all over the world. As one of the most important part of the bridges, its stress level and distribution under various dynamic loads are especially concerned. However, it is difficult to obtain the accurate stress of the steel box girder by common finite element (FE) calculation. The Runyang Suspension Bridg...
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...
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...
