[PDF][PDF] Experimental performance and modeling study of a 30-year-old bridge with steel bearings
JB Mander, JH Kim, SS Chen - Transportation Research Record, 1993 - researchgate.net
The strength and deformation characteristics of 30-year-old steel bridge bearings, both fixed
and expansion, are presented on the basis of field and laboratory experiments. The
interaction between the deck and the substructure is analyzed. Field experiments were
performed on a two-span, slab-on-girder bridge at Niagara Falls, New York, where the
bridge deck was cyclically loaded over the central pier by alternating the placement of a
hydraulic jack, forcing the spans apart in transverse and longi-tudinal directions. For the …
