Jointless and Smoother Bridges: Behavior and Design of Piles

, 2006
This report is the first of a two-volume final report presenting the findings of the research work that was undertaken to evaluate the fatigue behavior of steel highway bridges on the extra heavy weight truck corridor in Northwest Indiana. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the type and magnitude of the loads that travel along the corridor and ...

Performance assessment of deck link slabs in multi-span bridges: a case study of the Plott Creek Bridge

Frontiers in Built Environment
The use of link-slab connections in simply supported multi-span bridge decks is a widely adopted strategy to minimize the number of expansion joints, reducing long-term maintenance issues and improving the roadway surface quality. Current design practice

Novel macroscopic mechanical model for rapid and refined analysis of link slab bridges

Advances in Bridge Engineering
Debonded link slabs are commonly adopted to replace the expansion joints of existing simply supported bridges, thereby protecting the girders and piers underneath them from exposure to water and deleterious agents. The primary challenges for the accurate
