Expansion Joint Elimination for Steel Highway Bridges
This study evaluates several popular techniques for the elimination of expansion joints on existing steel highway bridges. Based on a literature search and survey of transportation agencies five specific connection details are examined. These include a deck only collection, a deck and top flange connection, a deck and bottom flange connection, a deck, top, and bottom flange connection, and a full moment splice. A sixth control case, no joint connection, was added to the analysis to gauge the previous five connection schemes. Four typical Rhode Island bridges are used to evaluate the performance of these connection details. In addition, a parametric study of typical bridges with various span lengths is undertaken to evaluate the range of applicability of the connection details. The stress at the deck's top mat reinforcement, as well as the crack width is calculated along with any increase in the load carrying capacity of the bridge.
