Response of a continuous, skewed, steel bridge during deck placement

Microstructural characteristics with various cooling paths and the mechanism of embrittlement and toughening in low-carbon high performance bridge steel

“…With the development of bridge design and the constructions of large-scale and long-span steel bridges [1][2][3][4][5], such as, three cross-sea bridges of Donghai Bridge, Hangzhou Bay Bridge and Qingdao Bay Bridge with world's longest span built in China [6], the high performance bridge steels have been developed [4,7]. It is advantageous for applications of high performance bridge steels with higher strength, better plasticity, better low-temperature toughness, better weldability, better cold formability and better corrosion resistance to reduce weight structures, simplify structures [7], reduce cost and realize energy saving and emission reduction, etc.…”

Study on Reinforcement Corrosion of the Bridges

“…The deflection resulting from a live load is computed also, and compared with a maximum allowable deflection limit. It is assumed that corrosion will reduce the cross-sectional area of the reinforcing bars and so influence bond strength, the reliability analysis is conducted for two limit states: probability of flexural failure and probability of unserviceability [3]. The analysis includes the random variability of corrosion rates, bond characteristics, material properties, element dimensions, reinforcement placement, environmental conditions and loads.…”

Levels of lateral flange bending in straight, skewed and curved steel I -girder bridges during deck placement

“…These problems require an accurate detailing work of the cross frames to meet the noload fit, steel dead-load fit or the full dead-load fit, and avoid over demands of stresses and deformations. Choo et. al.…”
