    Abstract:
    Oregon Department of Transportation’s bridge no. 9743b is a multi-span, two-girder steel deck bridge connecting the busy interstates 5 and 205. Vertical cracks have been detected in the welded girder-to-crossbeam connections at the bents. Distortion-induced fatigue is suspected to be responsible for the cracking. Linear elastic beam analysis, 2-D and...
