  • Image rectification tool for evaluation of gusset plate connections in steel truss bridges

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Quang D.
    Abstract:
    A methodology was developed to permit rectification and metrification of digital images of steel truss gusset plate connections. The approach will enable rapid and accurate collection of field measurements as compared to traditional methods to enable structural evaluation of gusset plate connections. The program enables the operator to quickly create...

    Keller, Philipp
    Abstract:
    The Astoria-Megler Bridge is a 6.6 kilometer (4.1 mile) long bridge, connecting Oregon and Washington on US 101, with a continuous steel truss main span of 376 m (1232 ft). It is the second longest main span bridge of this type in the world. Due to vortex shedding, some of...

  • Experimental and analytical investigation of ponding load effects on a steel joist roof system

    Creator:
    Stark, Duncan
    Abstract:
    Ponding of water on roof systems leading to collapse causes expensive damage and jeopardizes the life safety of building occupants. Current building codes and design specifications for flat roof systems offer minimal guidance in designing for ponding loads. The present research investigated ponding load effects on a long span, lightweight...

  • Applying climate change information to hydraulic and hydrologic transportation infrastructure

    Creator:
    Al Naabi, Rawan Y.
    Abstract:
    Scour is the main cause of bridge failures in the United States. Bridge failures raise a hazard to the safety of the traveling public as well as the massive economic consequences due to the high cost of constructing a new or a replacement bridge. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)...
