Behavior of open grid steel bridge decks under service and fatigue loads

Creator:

Fetzer, Peter C.

Abstract:

Open grid steel bridge decks have been in use for nearly a century. These open grid decks provide an economical and lightweight alternative to traditional reinforced concrete decks. As the transportation infrastructure continues to deteriorate, open grid decks can be used as a cost effective way to rehabilitate structurally deficient...

Evaluation of ground motion duration effects on the damage prediction of building and bridge structural and soil-structural systems

Creator:

Belejo, Andre

Abstract:

The role of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of civil engineering structures remains unclear. Thus, the role of earthquake strong ground motion duration is assessed in a three manuscript thesis, which includes: (1) assessment of the effects of ground motion duration on the seismic performance of a model...
