Structures. Bridges, Other Structures, and Hydraulics and Hydrology
The Committee on General Structures and the Committee on Steel Bridges co-sponsored a session at which the first four papers were presented. Burke presents the development of semi-integral abutments for bridges in Ohio that will enable this jointless deck concept to be extended to most bridges in the state. Raju et al. focus on timber bridges and transition rails for glued-laminated bridge decks and describe their development and testing. Weissmann et al. document a factorial analysis of 960 bridges of various types, spans, and design loads to provide inputs for cost allocation procedures. Thippeswamy et al. explain the performance of single-span jointless steel bridges and present the results of a parametric study to help the designer select and optimize superstructure and substructure members. The next seven papers were presented in two sessions sponsored by the Committee on Dynamics and Field Testing of Bridges. Shiu and Tabatabai present the measured thermal behavior of the Red River Bridge, a six-span continuous concrete box-girder bridge in Louisiana. In the last paper, Morsi and Larralde discuss the behavior of various types of materials and fasteners and compare the results of tests of reinforced plastic connection fasteners with those of allowable strengths of the various types of fasteners.
