Book Synthesis Study  Heat Treatment and Its Effects on Rehabilitating Steel Bridges in Indiana

Download or read book Synthesis Study Heat Treatment and Its Effects on Rehabilitating Steel Bridges in Indiana written by Matthew Lackowski and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant research has been conducted on the development of: (1) heat straightening repair techniques and their field implementation, (2) guidelines and recommendations for heat straightening repair, (3) empirical procedures for estimating plastic rotations achieved during heat straightening, (4) empirical procedures for predicting residual stresses caused by heat straightening, and (5) the effects of heat straightening on the structural properties of repaired bridges. Currently, there is a need for additional research on: (a) the fatigue performance of heat straightened beams, (b) the effects of single and multiple heat straightening on the fracture toughness and microstructure of steel beams, (c) the development of guidelines for evaluating and replacing steel beams subjected to single or multiple damage-repairs, and (d) investigating the effects of realistic heat straightening with imperfections on the properties and serviceability of steel beam bridges. The literature review of existing heat treatments indicates that heat straightening with maximum temperature limited to 1200 F is relatively similar to the process annealing heat treatment. Heat straightening with maximum temperature limited to 1400oF is similar to the normalizing annealing heat treatment. Both these heat treatments repair plastically deformed microstructure by the phenomenon known as recovery and recrystallization. Normalizing annealing is more efficient and faster than process annealing in repairing the plastically deformed microstructure by recrystallization. Heat treatment and repair of the material microstructure is incidental to the heat straightening repair process. The heat straightened beam can be further heat treated to complete the repair of the material microstructure (recrystallization etc.). The practical and economic feasibility of additional heat treatment using electrically powered and controlled radiant heaters was evaluated and found to be reasonable.

Book Finite Element Analysis Workflow for Heat Straightening of Impact damaged Steel Bridges

Download or read book Finite Element Analysis Workflow for Heat Straightening of Impact damaged Steel Bridges written by Norman Fong and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impacts between over-height vehicles and steel bridges are common throughout North America and the resulting bridge damage is unpredictable and sudden. Heat straightening is an alternative to replacing steel members and mechanical straightening for repairs. In many cases, bridges remediated using heat straightening require fewer disruptions to traffic and lower repair costs compared to repairs replacing steel members. Heat straightening limitations and practices have been developed with American steel grades and climates in mind. Often heat straightening is described as an art as much as a science; this repair method has relied on experienced practitioners using heat straightening patterns designed to cause rotations or shortening in members. Heat straightening of impact-damaged steel bridges can be modelled with finite element analysis (FEA). Heat straightening is a thermo-mechanical process. Existing studies modelling heat straightening with FEA do not fully explain the modelling techniques and material parameters used. A workflow defining steps and material parameters can be used to facilitate modelling of impact and heat straightening on bridges. This study proposes a workflow using FEA to model the heat straightening of impact-damaged steel bridges. The proposed workflow will be used to study heat straightening of CSA 350W steel - a commonly used Canadian steel grade. The workflow is developed by investigating modelling techniques for impact and heat straightening separately. The developed finite element models include material parameters accounting for work hardening, thermal effects and strain-rate sensitivity of steel. The presented research demonstrates that the proposed workflow is viable for modelling impact and heat straightening of steel bridges. Although this study involved the application of the developed modelling techniques for a hypothetical bridge, the exercise has provided valuable insight into methods of expediting heat straightening repair and the modelling process. For instance, it has provided insight into the following: the introduction of jacking forces without causing mechanical straightening, the removal of plastically deformed stiffeners to reduce deformations, and the treatment of residual stresses from heat straightening.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of multiple damage-heat straightening repair events on the structural properties and fracture toughness of A36, A588, and A7 bridge steels were investigated experimentally. The damage and repair parameters included in the project are: (i) the damage strain, (ii) the restraining stress, (iii) the number of damage-repair cycles, and (iv) the maximum heating temperature. Extensive laboratory-scale and large-scale tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of these parameters on the structural properties including: (a) elastic modulus, (b) yield stress, (c) ultimate stress, (d) % elongation, (e) surface hardness, (f) fracture toughness, and (g) microstructure. Ninety-one laboratory-scale specimens, and six large-scale beam specimens made from A36, A588, and A7 steel were tested.

Book Risk Based Bridge Engineering

Download or read book Risk Based Bridge Engineering written by Khaled Mahmoud and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk-based engineering is essential for the efficient asset management and safe operation of bridges. A risk-based asset management strategy couples risk management, standard work, reliability-based inspection and structural analysis, and condition-based maintenance to properly apply resources based on process criticality. This ensures that proper controls are put in place and reliability analysis is used to ensure continuous improvement. An effective risk-based management system includes an enterprise asset management or resource solution that properly catalogues asset attribute data, a functional hierarchy, criticality analysis, risk and failure analysis, control plans, reliability analysis and continuous improvement. Such efforts include periodic inspections, condition evaluations and prioritizing repairs accordingly. This book contains select papers that were presented at the 10th New York City Bridge Conference, held on August 26-27, 2019. The volume is a valuable contribution to the state-of-the-art in bridge engineering.
