AbstractPrecast prestressed concrete (PPC) deck girders are among the most common types of structural systems used for bridges with short-to-medium spans. Although this bridge system is known to experience longitudinal…
AbstractLoad-posted bridges have potential effects on traffic, commerce, and emergency egress due to detours in routes between origins and destinations. Posted bridges can also be problematic for state departments of…
AbstractLoad rating is gaining popularity as a method for inspecting the structural performance of aging bridges and determining maintenance actions. Cost-effective condition-based strategies have been developed in previous studies to…
AbstractAn innovative load rating method for skewed highway bridges with steel girders is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, a field test coupled with a grillage analysis is…
