Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broadly-based research programme on orthotropic steel bridge decks, led by D.E. Nunn, was carried out between 1963 and 1987 covering traffic usage, surfacing and fatigue. Initially the work was predictive, determining the main variables and establishing the basis of a fatigue assessment methods. Following the discovery of fatigue cracks in service, methods of repair and strengthening were developed. This work has been recorded in internal reports, but much of it has not been generally available until publication of this review. Experimental results are presented and recommendations given for the fatigue classification of welded joints in orthotropic decks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stresses imposed on UK roads by forty tonne vehicles have led to an extensive programme of bridge improvements across the country. This book draws on case studies to create an essential tool for all bridge engineers involved in strengthening steel bridges to meet these challenges.Resulting from the Highways Agency's assessment and strengthening of steel and steel/concrete composite bridges, this report disseminates the knowledge gained and ingenuity used during this work and will be an invaluable reference for future work.

Book excerpt: These proceedings are from The Fourth International Conference on Bridge Management that consolidated the best and, more importantly, up-to-date research conducted in the field of bridge management. Since the first conference in 1990 the scientific art of bridge management has advanced at an astonishing rate. There has been a change from a curative to a preventative approach to bridge management, promising an increased longevity for the next generation of bridges and reduced whole-life costs, and practical and economical solutions have been found for some recurring problems.

Download or read book Fatigue Investigation of Slit Rib to floor Beam Connections in Steel Orthotropic Bridge Decks written by Jayne Marks and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The steel orthotropic bridge deck (SOBD) is a bridge deck system which consists of longitudinal open or closed ribs that pass through transverse floor beams with a continuous steel deck plate on top. All of these components are joined using welded connections which can be costly to fabricate and prone to fatigue cracks. The rib-to-floor beam (RFB) connection in an SOBD is labor intensive and fatigue sensitive. In the past, the RFB connection has either been a fully fitted connection or a connection with an extended cut-out which is larger than the opening in the floor beam web for the rib to pass through. A third RFB detail that includes an additional opening below the rib bottom, which is not an extension of the rib opening, has been proposed and is studied herein. This connection, termed a "slit RFB connection," is similar to the fitted connection with closed, U-shaped ribs passing continuously through matching openings in the floor beam webs, but an additional opening contained entirely within the floor beam web allows for relatively unrestrained out-of-plane rib rotation. The slit RFB connection has not been used or studied previously, and shows potential for efficient, automated fabrication and good fatigue performance.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-level 3D linear elastic finite element analyses (FEA) were performed using a model of a steel orthotropic deck integrated with steel box girders developed in a previous study. Additional submodels were developed with variations of the rib-to-floor beam connections and floor beam depths. The response of the critical rib-to-floor beam connection, under critical symmetric and eccentric loading conditions, with respect to the FB, was analyzed under the rear axle loads of an AASHTO fatigue truck to assess the fatigue performance of the critical rib-to-floor beam connection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fracture, fatigue, and other subcritical processes, such as creep crack growth or stress corrosion cracking, present numerous open issues from both scientific and industrial points of view. These phenomena are of special interest in industrial and civil metallic structures, such as pipes, vessels, machinery, aircrafts, ship hulls, and bridges, given that their failure may imply catastrophic consequences for human life, the natural environment, and/or the economy. Moreover, an adequate management of their operational life, defining suitable inspection periods, repairs, or replacements, requires their safety or unsafety conditions to be defined. The analysis of these technological challenges requires accurate comprehensive assessment tools based on solid theoretical foundations as well as structural integrity assessment standards or procedures incorporating such tools into industrial practice. This volume is focused on new advances in fracture, fatigue, and structural integrity of metallic structural components containing defects (e.g., cracks, notches, metal loss, etc.), and also on those developments that are being or could be incorporated into structural integrity assessment procedures, such as BS7910, R6, or API 579-1/ASME FFS-1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, the traffic intensity and the wheel loads on bridges have increased considerably, resulting in fatigue cracks and repairs. Within the framework of research funded by the European Coal and Steel Community, several programmes have been carried out to investigate the traffic loads, the stresses they produce and the fatigue performance of various details. These programmes have been carried out by seven research institutes in six countries of the European Community. Especially in the programmes carried out now, the experimental research has been carried out in combination with numerical and analytical studies to obtain better insight into the stress distribution of the various connections in steel orthotropic bridge decks with closed longitudinal stiffeners. This report highlights the Dutch results obtained in the fourth phase research. The research programme includes a survey on existing bridges in the Netherlands to obtain information about the different detailing in the orthotropic deck plate and the fatigue behaviour of the details. Based on available research results, it appeared to be necessary to perform some full-scale fatigue tests on the longitudinal stiffener splice joint to improve the detail and to obtain information about repairing this detail. Fatigue design curves have been defined for the longitudinal stiffener splice joint as well as the longitunal stiffener to deck plate connection. For the latter, no additional experiments were needed. Experimental as well as numerical research on the longitudinal stiffener to crossbeam connection has been carried out to improve the knowledge of the different types of detail.
