Sensitivity of Overpass Bridges to Wind and Traffic Loading
نویسندگان
چکیده
bridges are planned for construction on the U.S. 59 in Houston, Texas. Each bridge will be of the tied-arch type and will be constructed on-grade over cut areas with clear spans of 228 f t (69.5m). To expedite construction, unique procedures are planned which use existing bridges as platforms for final fabrication of the tied arches. This procedure requires consideration of wind loadings on the arches during construction. 15. Supplementary Notes

Effects of Traffic and Wind
The purpose of this study is to assess the sensitivity of four highway bridges to wind and live loadings. The bridges are plarmed for construction on U.S. 59 in Houston, Texas. Each bridge will be of the tied-arch type and will be constructed on-grade over cut areas with clear spans in excess of 61 :reters (200 feet). To expedite construction, unique procedures are plarmed Which use existing br...
متن کاملDynamic Reliability Assessment of Long-span Suspension bridges under stochastic traffic flow
For most existing bridges, supporting continuous traffic loads is the basic function. However, in addition to this load, bridges are exposed to environmental (Frangopol and Soliman, 2015 [1]), as well as various other complex loads, that are mostly random in nature, such as earthquake, flow-included loadings, wind and so on. All these loading conditions need to be considered and must satisfy th...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of Expanded Integrated Local Area Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)
In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...
متن کاملStatic Instability Analysis of Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridges with Carbon Fiber Composite Cable under Wind Load
In this paper, a three dimensional analysis is performed to investigate the static instability of long-span cable-stayed bridges due to wind loading. Cables made of carbon fiber composite cable (CFCC) are studied. Nonlinearity due to displacement-dependent wind loading is considered. A 1400meter cable-stayed bridge model is used to investigate the static behavior of bridges with both steel and ...
متن کاملA coupled wind-vehicle-bridge system and its applications: a review
The performance of bridges under strong wind and traffic is of great importance to set the traveling speed limit or to make operational decisions for severe weather, such as controlling traffic or even closing the bridge. Meanwhile, the vehicle‟s safety is highly concerned when it is running on bridges or highways under strong wind. During the past two decades, researchers have made significant...
