Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design changes in the 1990s to bridge approaches resulted in approach slabs of about 8m in length supported at one end on the bridge abutment and at the other by a sleeper beam resting on the embankment. These slabs have not performed adequately due primarily to excessive deformation of the foundation and fill soils under the slab and sleeper beam. Survey questionnaires were administered for resident engineers in MoDOT and neighboring states to assess overall performance. Two bridge sites were selected for more detailed study of the deformation mechanisms. Analyses involving modeling using a finite element method program were conducted using soil properties obtained from drilling, sampling and laboratory testing at the study sites. Conclusions and recommendations are in the following categories: initiating programmatic instrumentation and monitoring plans for approach embankments; enhanced drilling, sampling and analysis at locations of future embankments; geosynthetic reinforcement of the embankment; staged construction; separating grading and paving contract; abutment and drainage details; and improved compaction specifications.

Download or read book Seismic Design and Assessment of Bridges written by Andreas J. Kappos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the use of inelastic analysis methods for the seismic assessment and design of bridges, for which the work carried out so far, albeit interesting and useful, is nevertheless clearly less than that for buildings. Although some valuable literature on the subject is currently available, the most advanced inelastic analysis methods that emerged during the last decade are currently found only in the specialised research-oriented literature, such as technical journals and conference proceedings. Hence the key objective of this book is two-fold, first to present all important methods belonging to the aforementioned category in a uniform and sufficient for their understanding and implementation length, and to provide also a critical perspective on them by including selected case-studies wherein more than one methods are applied to a specific bridge and by offering some critical comments on the limitations of the individual methods and on their relative efficiency. The book should be a valuable tool for both researchers and practicing engineers dealing with seismic design and assessment of bridges, by both making the methods and the analytical tools available for their implementation, and by assisting them to select the method that best suits the individual bridge projects that each engineer and/or researcher faces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aug. 1, 2007, collapse of a Minnesota bridge raised nationwide questions about bridge safety and the Dept. of Transportation¿s ability to prioritize resources for bridges. The Highway Bridge Program (HBP), the primary source of fed. funding for bridges, provided over $4 billion to states in FY 2007. This study examines: (1) how the HBP addresses bridge conditions; (2) how states use HBP funds and select bridge projects for funding; (3) what data indicates about bridge conditions and the HBP¿s impact; and (4) the extent to which the HBP aligns with generally accepted principles, and fed. laws and regulations, for re-examining surface transportation programs. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High plastic expansive clays when subjected to different climatic conditions undergo large ground movements causing distress to infrastructures including bridges, pavements,buildings, retaining structures, and others. Performance assessment of these structures built on problematic soils such as expansive clays is important to reduce maintenance and extending the design life of infrastructure. Rapid developments in remote sensing technologies with precise evaluation have influenced the monitoring techniques for assessing the health condition of civil infrastructure projects. While these technologies have considerably aided in performance evaluation, cogent procedures for evaluating the ground movements are still required that integrates technologies, climatic factors, soil behavior models. This research study presents an integrated approach using the Three-Dimensional Terrestrial Laser Scanning (3D-TLS)technique and advanced mathematical modeling (system identification approach) for assessing the performance of the bridge infrastructure including highway embankment, bridge deck,bridge approach slab, bridge abutments, and columns. First, an optimized framework is developed to evaluate ground movements using 3D-TLS technique, which is an active-remote sensing Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing technology that uses near infrared light to monitor physical characteristics of earth's surface. The ground movements from the processed scans, and climatic factor parameters including temperature and precipitation variations were used to develop advanced mathematical models of dynamic systems using collected time-series data. The validation of the developed integrated framework is illustrated on a test site built on high plastic expansive clay soils located in North Texas. Cost-Benefit Analysis (COA) is performed to compare 3D-TLS remote sensing and prevalent monitoring approaches. This research highlights the integration of latest technological developments with advanced mathematical models to predict the condition of a bridge infrastructure.
