This paper will address the measurement and documentation of construction and service effects for a steel stringer bridge in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. It will demonstrate how various monitoring and field testing means can be brought together to evaluate the complete state of force in a bridge over its lifetime, together with the corresponding causative effects or events. Accumulated versus transient stresses and forces are evaluated through a regular regimen of long-term monitoring, diagnostic truckload and modal impact testing, and structural analysis. This research will allow the conceptualization of less understood or unknown phenomena that influence bridge performance, the verification of design assumptions and rating models, and the continued evaluation of emerging technologies for infrastructure monitoring and assessment.

Evaluation of topological forms for weight-effective optimum design of single-span steel truss bridges Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2011-08-01) This paper reports a comparative study on design weight efficiency of single span steel truss bridge topologies subjected to gravity loads. The bridges configured according to nine distinct topological forms (namely, Pratt, Parker, Baltimore, Petit, K-Truss, Warren, Subdivided Warren, Quadrangular Warren and Whipple) are designed for minimum weight under various span length requirements of single span truss bridges, and the results obtained with these topological forms are compared. The optimization process...
A numerical study on response factors for steel wall-frame systems Arslan, Hakan; Topkaya, Cem (Wiley, 2010-11-01) A numerical investigation was undertaken to evaluate the response of dual structural systems that consisting of steel plate shear walls and moment-resisting frames. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the influence of elastic base shear distribution between the wall and the frame on the global system response. A total of 10 walls and 30 wall frame systems, ranging from 3 to 15 stories, were selected for numerical assessment. These systems represent cases in which the elastic base shear res...
Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall systems Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) The accuracy of the finite element method and strip method of analysis for calculating the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is assessed by making comparisons with experimental findings. Comparisons revealed that while both methods provide acceptable accuracy, they also require the generation of sophisticated computer models. In this paper, two alternative methods are developed. The first one is an approximate hand method based on the deep beam theory. The classical deep beam theory...
AN EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF SFRC STRUCTURES Aleessa Alam, Burhan; Toksoy, Kaan; Dara, Gokce; Göktepe, Serdar; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (2016-05-13) This contribution is concerned with the experimental and numerical study of ballistic performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete structures. For this purpose, three different types of panels, made of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), slurry-infiltrated concrete (SIFCON), and ceramic composite (CC), have been tested under high velocity impact of a rigid projectile. Explicit Finite Element analyses aiming at capturing the experimental residual velocities for the SFRC and SIFCON panels have also been...
A comparative study on practical modeling of steel igirder bridges considering restrained warping behavior Bulduk, Aynur Şeyma; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-10-14) Skewed and horizontally-curved steel I-girder bridges show complicated behavior due to the torsional action they exhibit under standard bridge loads, particularly during construction. The restrained warping response of girders can play a critical role in the analysis and design of these structures. In finite element analysis, the restrained warping behavior of girder can be considered through detailed 3D shell models or alternative methods such as utilizing an effective torsion constant in the analysi...
