Condition assessment and retrofit of a historic steel-truss railway bridge
AbstractThis paper presents an experimental and analytical study to access the condition of a historic railway steel truss bridge still in use. The task is pursued through static and dynamic field measurements, as well as laboratory tests. A validated analytical model is employed to evaluate the capacity of the bridge to carry seismic and wind loads specified by current design codes, as well as the heavier trainloads set by the owner. Strengthening and replacement measures are proposed for bridge upgrade. An estimation of the remaining fatigue life of the bridge in its present condition and after the suggested strengthening is also made.
