Structural Characterization of UHPC Waffle Bridge Deck and Connections
The AASHTO strategic plan in 2005 for bridge engineering identified extending the service life of bridges and accelerating bridge construction as two of the grand challenges in bridge engineering. These challenges have the objective of producing safer and Continue reading
An Alignment Optimization Model for a Simple Highway Network
A new highway addition to an existing road network is typically considered for improving traffic performance in that road network. However, finding the new highway that best improves the existing network is a very complex problem since many factors affect the Continue reading
Analysis and Behavior Investigations of Box Girder Bridges
Due to efficient dissemination of congested traffic, economic considerations, and aesthetic desirability horizontally curved steel box girder bridges have become increasingly popular nowadays in modern highway systems, including Continue reading
Risk-Based Bridge Maintenance Strategies
The aging of bridges and traffic volume increase result in deterioration of bridge conditions and consequently increased risks to bridges and users. Highway agencies in the United States face challenges because of lack of Continue reading
Effect of Dead, Live and Blast Loads on a Suspension Bridge
Bridges in America are of special importance. The analysis of these bridges should be carried out for different loading conditions. Bridges are normally designed for Continue reading
