Abstract:The dramatic and disastrous collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis in 2007 drew attention to a number of issues in bridge construction and rehabilitation. Though a prime cause of the collapse were the gusset plates underdesigned for the loads they carried, the presence of heavy construction equipment on the bridge deck during rehabilitation work also compromised bridge performance.
