Hawkins, Neil M. Fuentes, Juan Bolivar 2015-09-25T21:03:23Z 2015-09-25T21:03:23Z 10000-01-01 2002 2002 The critical signs to be observed in existing structures that will lead the inspectors to conclude that a deck beam is being overloaded were are also studied. Several conclusions were found. Cracking of the longitudinal joint has little effect on the stiffness of the bridge if the transverse rod is snug. The presence of a snug transverse tie rod increases the strength of the longitudinal joint. After a longitudinal joint has fractured, reincorporating a snug transverse rod can significantly reestablish the stiffness of the longitudinal joint and reduce overloading of a deteriorated beam. Participation factors must be based on relative bending moments of one beam with respect to the total amount of bending moment produced by the applied load and not to the amount of total vertical displacement. The participation factors will vary along the span of the bridge deck and will depend on the longitudinal position of the load. The amount of load taken by a loaded beam of the deck is not directly related to the beam that will experience the maximum bending moment under a given load combination. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
