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.

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.

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.
