- Description
- In many cases
, bridge designers concern themselves only with checking the stability and member stress levels in the structure for
the in
-
service condition aft
er erection of the entire superstructure is complete. But many times the critical stress in a particular
component is encountered during the erection of the bridge where large unbraced lengths affect the stability of the partially
completed structure. This
module
describes typical erection methods and procedures and highlights some of the aspects that
should be considered by the designer. With this basic knowledge, the bridge designer can determine which, if any, of these
aspects are a concern for his/her pa
rticular design situation.

- Description
- In the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifi
cations
, a limit state is defined as “a condition beyond which the bridge or
component ceases to satisfy the provisions for which it was designed.” Bri
dges designed using the limit
-
states philosophy of the
LRFD Specifications must satisfy “specified limit states to achieve the objectives of constructability, safety and serviceabi
lity.”
These objectives are met through the strength, service, fatigue
-
and

f
racture and extreme
-
event limit states.
This
module
provide
s
bridge engineers with the background regarding the development and use of the various limit states contained in the LRFD
Specifications.

- Bridge management ; Bridges
- Description
- In the context of steel bridge members, nonredundancy or fracture criticality relates to resistance of the entire bridge
superstructure to brittle fracture. The question becomes, can a flaw or crack grow in an
unstable manner as a brittle fracture
resulting in the loss of the member and subsequently the loss of the superstructure?
The issue of redundancy affects the design,
fabrication and in
-
service inspection of steel bridge members when they are classified
as fracture
-
critical members. Of all bridge
construction materials, only steel bridge members are considered as candidates for the fracture
-
critical designation.
This
module
provided engineers with the background concerning redundancy in steel girder brid
ges.

- Description
- An important aspect of the structural analysis process is the selection of the mathematical model and associated analysis met
hod.
F
ew absolute guidelines are available for the selection of an analysis method. The number of permutations resulting from vario
us
combinations of complicating physical features and mathematical models is virtually boundless. This decision should be based
on
an evaluation of the nature and complexity of the structure, a thorough understanding of the expected behavior, and
knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of the various analysis options.
Therefore, this module provides a
n overview
for
the
structura
l analysis of steel girder
bridges
. Discussions include the applicable loads, descriptions of the various tools and
techniques available, and considerations for selecting the appropriate application or technique for a given bridge.
