Contains complete proceedings of SEWC '98 held in San Francisco, July 19-23, 1998.
More than a third of America's bridges are considered substandard--either structurally deficient, functionally obsolete or both. Offers first-rate, practical guidance regarding the inspection and rehabilitation of aging bridge infrastructure including all elements involving structure, various materials and design types. Features seismic retrofit and coverage of environmental issues. Each chapter is written by an authority on the subject. Contains top-quality, detailed line illustrations plus photographs of actual rehab projects.
"This book emphasizes the physical and practical aspects of fatigue and fracture. It covers mechanical properties of materials, differences between ductile and brittle fractures, fracture mechanics, the basics of fatigue, structural joints, high temperature failures, wear, environmentally-induced failures, and steps in the failure analysis process."--publishers website.
This book provides a detailed review and summary of twenty-two case studies of fracture and fatigue in bridge structures. Its two parts cover cracks formed as a result of low fatigue resistant details, and cracks resulting from unanticipated secondary or displacement induced stresses.
A project was undertaken to develop mathematical design relationships that would define in general terms the fatigue strength of rolled and welded beams, rolled and welded beams with cover plates, and welded beams with flange splices under cyclic loading. In all, 374 steel beams were made and tested, of which 204 had cover plates with two weld details. The design variables were grouped in three major categories: type of detail, stress condition, and type of steel. Particular emphasis was laid on detail type. minimum, maximum, and range were the stress conditions. Steels A36, A441, and A514 were used.
