These specifications apply to the structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance of steel structures, composite girders, and composite columns filled with concrete. Composite columns are treated explicitly only in the Seismic Design volume. The structures considered in these specifications are general steel structures in which structure of the main members consists of steel and composite girders and columns composed of both steel and concrete. As for composite girders, references [JSCE 2002a] and [JSCE 2002b] may be referred to instead of these specifications.
Highway and railroad bridges are the main focus of these specifications, although port and harbor structures, river structures, and electric power facilities are also considered. Each of these structure types also has its own specifications or standards for planning, design, construction, and maintenance. However, as each of these specifications or standards is codified for a specific type of structure, there is some possibility of difficulty in attempting to plan, design, construct, and maintain a specific structure that does not have a specific applicable specification or standard. Here, not only are the normal techniques for structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance relating to specific steel and composite structures such as highway and railway bridges specified, but their applicability to the other structures is also considered.
Where the articles of these specifications are insufficient and/or inappropriate for dealing with the structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance of a specific individual structure type, it may not be necessary to apply these specifications if the effectiveness, appropriateness, accuracy, and applicable scope of another selected technique can be certified. Even in this case, however, the structural planning, design, construction, and maintenance of the structure may be implemented while taking account of the substance of these specifications.

In the Wake of Tacoma is the first comprehensive treatment of the changes the 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge has imposed on the design of suspension bridges. Designed as a historical narrative, this heavily illustrated book describes design trends before the collapse, the collapse itself and the investigations to determine its cause. The book goes on to examine subsequent aerodynamic and other design developments and their application in suspension bridges worldwide over the six decades following the collapse. In the Wake of Tacoma also provides a comprehensive reference work on suspension bridges in general, examining virtually every suspension bridge of note built in the past six decades, and highlighting overall development of the state of the art today. It goes beyond the major, well-known bridges to examine many small- and mid-span suspension bridges worldwide that have contributed significantly to the modern development of the form. Also covered are the engineering debates and engineers involved, and discussions of bridges under construction, under design, and new design concepts and materials to conquer the huge distances envisaged for such crossings as the Messina and Gibraltar straits. Presented in easy-to-understand, non-technical language, this book should appeal to both engineers and non-engineers with an interest in bridges and engineering in general

A unique full-scale study was undertaken to consider the behavior of gypsum board partition walls and typical suspended ceiling systems. Each specimen consisted of four partition walls which created an enclosed space and allowed for the interaction of perpendicular walls framed into each other to be evaluated. The effects of discontinuities in the partition walls were studied through the placement of a large opening in one of the walls and a door frame in the opposite wall. The setup also allowed for the evaluation of interaction between the walls and ceiling system. The specimens were loaded through the use of a shake table such that the behavior and damage could be correlated with particular drift levels. The non-structural walls underwent a rocking behavior as a result of the presence of a perpendicular wall. Significant damage was seen as drift levels reached 1/66 radians with most of this damage concentrated around the door frame and at the corners of the partition walls. Only minimal damage was imparted to the ceiling systems as they performed to design standards. The results of this test were critical in providing preliminary data for the full-scale study of a four-story steel moment frame tested at E-defense in Japan, which incorporated these non-structural systems.

Author: William R. Whidden, P.E. | Size: 2.61 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers | Year: 2009 | pages: 201 | ISBN: 978-0-7844-1058-5
This manual provides appropriate analytical concepts to address the principles of buried steel pipe design and attempts to correct misusage of the 1958 Modified Iowa Formula. The most current work of Dr. Reynold K. Watkins and others is presented in this book to develop the external loading design concepts provided. The goal of Buried Flexible Steel Pipe is to offer sound information on the structural design and analysis of buried steel pipe for water and wastewater consistent with the latest pipe/soil design concepts of the industry. In conjunction with the external design of the pipe/soil interaction, the manual addresses internal pressure design, vacuum and external fluid pressure analysis, and many other non-standard conditions pipe designers will likely encounter. This manual will be valuable to students and professionals involved in pipe design and construction.

Handbook of Concrete Bridge Management provides complete coverage of concrete bridges from planning, design, repair, maintenance, and demolition, with a focus on small and medium-size bridges. This handbook offers a global overview of bridge management based on the knowledge and experience of the authors, as well as presents rational and objective criteria to aid in decision-making. A classification system concerning defects, their causes, repair techniques and diagnosis methods is included. Also featured in this practical handbook are 155 line drawings and 119 photographs. Project managers, structural engineers, highway engineers and all other engineers involved with the building, maintenance, and repair of concrete bridges will benefit from this book.

A comprehensive, up-to-the-minute account of bridge management developments for researchers, designers, builders, administrators, and owners
Bridge Management draws on Bojidar Yanev's thirty years of research, teaching, and consulting as well as his management of 800 of New York City's 2,200 bridges. It offers an insider's view of the problems to be resolved in bridge management by civil and transportation engineers, budget and asset managers, abstract analysts, and hands-on field workers.
The personal search of the author for solutions is juxtaposed with an overview of the dynamic interactions between bridge builders and the social and physical forces shaping the transportation infrastructure over the centuries. Bridge Management uniquely integrates the priorities, constraints, objectives, and tastes governing the domains of structural mechanics, economics, public administration, and field operations at both the project and network levels. It features:
* A review of current bridge management vulnerabilities, objectives, tools, and products
* Dozens of case studies illustrating the application of analytic models, and practical developments currently shaping the field
* Unique chapters exploring the evolution of bridge design, construction, and maintenance, from the origins of deliberate planning to the current integrated lifecycle asset management models

The provisions of AASHTO LRFD 2012 Specifications are intended for the design, evaluation, and rehabilitation of both fixed and movable highway bridges. Mechanical, electrical, and special vehicular and pedestrian safety aspects of movable bridges, however, are not covered. Provisions are not included for bridges used solely for railway, rail-transit, or public utilities. For bridges not fully covered herein, the provisions of these Specifications may be applied, as
augmented with additional design criteria where required.
