Book excerpt: "This document was prepared by the AASHTO/NSBA Steel Bridge Collaboration and is intended to offer guidance on the analysis of steel girder bridges. It is recognized that there are numerous methods available to analyze any given steel girder bridge. These methods can differ in level of sophistication and required effort, and produce varied levels of analysis data to be utilized in the design process. Designers need to know both the strengths and limitations of any given method in order to assess which of these methods may be appropriate in a given situation, to use that method properly, and thus to achieve a functional, efficient design." --Foreword.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges are great symbols of mankind’s conquest of space. They are a monument to his vision and determination, but these alone are not enough. An appreciation of the mathematical theories underlying bridge design is essential to resist the physical forces of nature and gravity. The object of this book is to explain firstly the nature of the problems associated with the building of bridges with steel as the basic material, and then the theories that are available to tackle them. The book covers: a technological history of the different types of iron and steel bridges the basic properties of steel loads on bridges from either natural or traffic-induced forces the process and aims of design based on limit state and statistical probability concepts buckling behaviour of various components and large-deflection behaviour of components with initial imperfections detailed guidance on the design of plate and box girder bridges together with some design examples The Second Edition includes a completely new chapter on the history and design of cable-stayed bridges, the various types of cable used for them and their method of construction, and it addresses many of the changes introduced in the latest version of the British Standard Design Code for steel bridges, BS 5400: Part 3:2000.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horizontally curved girder bridges have been used considerably in recent years in highly congested urban areas. However, although significant research on physical testing and advanced analysis has been underway for the past decade, the practical employment of many recommendations has not been achieved by the engineering community nor have standards reflecting this work been brought into practice. The design process of curved composite bridges involves tracking the stresses and the potential failure change in the girders during erection, construction and service loading stages. For structural safety and serviceability, the designer estimates the stresses induced within the bridge and assure that they do not exceed the applicable specified limit state as required in bridge design standards. However, the designer may be concerned about the level of approximation that is used in his estimate or even the applicability of the underlying theory. To answer this question and provide the designer with more insight into the behavior of the curved bridges, the field testing during construction and service loading of a curved bridge located near Baltimore, Maryland is re-examined here using linear elastic three-dimensional finite element modeling. Comparisons are made between the finite element results and the measured results. Finally, to facilitate the finite element modeling effort for use by a designer, ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) capabilities are used here to develop an analysis/design tool for "Bath-Tub" style curved steel girder bridges. This tool is then used to evaluate the effects of several important design variables on the response and behavior of the girders during the construction phase. This study demonstrates the ability of finite element modeling to assess the stiffness, serviceability performance, buckling behavior and ultimate strength of curved bridges during construction and it is a major step towards a performance based approach to design for stability. The level of safety or reliability that would be available during the erection and the construction processes of horizontally curved girder bridges represents another major concern for the designer. A three span continuous curved box girder bridge in Houston, Texas is used in this study as an example reflecting current detailing and fabricating practice and it is chosen for a detailed evaluation of the structural safety/reliability during the erection and construction process. This task involves simulating the girder erection and concrete slab placement sequence of the bridge using comprehensive nonlinear three dimensional finite element modeling.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of design, fabrication, and construction on the geometry and load distribution in a curved or skewed bridge system are areas in which further study and understanding are required. This project utilized remote acquisition capabilities for instruments on two structures in the Interstate 99 corridor: a horizontally curved, steel, I-girder bridge, and a skewed, prestressed, concrete bridge. Data obtained from these structures were examined and the numerical model accuracy for curved and skewed, steel, I-girder bridges and select appropriate model types and software was investigated. Parametric studies were undertaken on a group of representative curved and skewed steel bridge structures to numerically examine the influence of specific variables on behavior during construction. Results enabled the identification of preferred erection sequencing approaches.
