DOWNLOAD EBOOKBridge Safety, Maintenance, Management, Life-Cycle, Resilience and Sustainability contains lectures and papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS 2022, Barcelona, Spain, 11–15 July, 2022). This e-book contains the full papers of 322 contributions presented at IABMAS 2022, including the T.Y. Lin Lecture, 4 Keynote Lectures, and 317 technical papers from 36 countries all around the world. The contributions deal with the state-of-the-art as well as emerging concepts and innovative applications related to the main aspects of safety, maintenance, management, life-cycle, resilience, sustainability and technological innovations of bridges. Major topics include: advanced bridge design, construction and maintenance approaches, safety, reliability and risk evaluation, life-cycle management, life-cycle, resilience, sustainability, standardization, analytical models, bridge management systems, service life prediction, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and field testing, robustness and redundancy, durability enhancement, repair and rehabilitation, fatigue and corrosion, extreme loads, needs of bridge owners, whole life costing and investment for the future, financial planning and application of information and computer technology, big data analysis and artificial intelligence for bridges, among others. This volume provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of bridge engineering and significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions on bridge safety, maintenance, management, life-cycle, resilience and sustainability of bridges for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. The volume serves as a valuable reference to all concerned with and/or involved in bridge structure and infrastructure systems, including students, researchers and practitioners from all areas of bridge engineering.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProceedings of a session on engineering mechanics at the ASCE Convention, held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 27, 1986. Sponsored by the Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE. This collection contains seven papers on evaluating the performance of bridges. Four papers assess the global bridge behavior for prestressed steel plate girder and truss bridges, steel box girder bridges, and highway bridges. Three focus on concrete bridge decks that had been subjected to fatigue and cyclic loadings or to progressive deterioration.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHighway agencies are responsible for the optimal expenditure of taxpayer dollars allocated to highway infrastructure. Truck size and weight are regulated by federal legislation and every state highway agency has its own legal load limits. Over the last two decades, both the frequency and weight of overweight trucks has kept increasing. Although the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factored Design (LRFD) Bridge Design Specifications mandates a design life of 75 years, the actual service life of bridges is lower and varies from one bridge site to another. Additionally, state agencies issue permits for trucks with gross vehicle weights that are above legal load limits. However, the effect of overweight trucks on the service life of bridge components is not explicitly quantified. This dissertation presents a rational approach to investigate the impact of truck loads on bridges in New Jersey through the utilization of bridge inspection reports, truck weight-in-motion (WIM) data, and the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) database. Actual bridge deterioration modes were identified from their respective inspection reports. Based on the condition ratings from NBI, the expected service life for each bridge component on various highways were estimated. In addition, WIM data in New Jersey were used to extract the loading on bridges. For bridge decks and prestressed concrete (P/C) girders, the correlation between the expected service life and truck loadings was performed and prediction functions for service life were proposed. For steel bridge girder, predicted service life was calculated through the remaining fatigue life assessment. Lastly, Bridge Life Cycle Cost Analysis (BLCCA) was conducted using two contrasting scenarios, one with and the other without overweight trucks, to quantify economic impact of overweight trucks on bridges. The results show that deterioration mode of prestressed concrete (P/C) girders was the corrosion near the beam-ends induced by cracking and spalling while the deterioration mode of reinforced concrete deck was the punching shear failure. Overall, P/C girders have better performances than steel girders. During the lifetime of the bridge, the deterioration of P/C girders would be accelerated once cracking is initiated. The expected service life of P/C bridges was greatly affected by the condition of the bridge deck. Lastly, the results indicated that overweight trucks caused more damage on NJ state highways compared with interstate highways due to a larger proportion of overweight trucks, heavy wheel loads from overweight trucks, and fewer axles per truck.
