The papers in this report deal with the following areas: fatigue behavior of weathered steel components; fatigue strength of weathered and deteriorated riveted members; stresses in hanger plates of suspended bridge girders; design of the cable-stayed girder weirton-steubenville bridge; design of the cable-stayed Mississippi river bridge at Quincy, Illinois; deflections and camber loss in heat-curved girders; observations from tests on a segmental bridge; problems in designing prestressed segmental concrete bridges; edge-stiffening effect of New Jersey barrier walls on cantilever slabs; proposed replacement of AASHTO girders with new optimized sections; proposed limit state strength evaluation of existing reinforced-concrete bridges; thermal effects in concrete bridge superstructures; fatigue behavior of welded wrought-iron bridge hangers; evaluation and field testing of the Dan Ryan rapid transit structure; post-construction evaluation of the Fremont bridge; dynamic load testing of highway bridges; riprap stability analysis; analysis of commonly used riprap design guides based on extended shields diagram; assessing vulnerability of bridges to floods; computer-based prediction of alluvial riverbed changes; modeling general scour at bridge crossings; and mathematical model for estimating scour through bridge crossings.
