Abstract:

FE (finite element) modeling was conducted to 1) provide a better understanding of the

elastic behavior of the end region prior to cracking and 2) to evaluate the effects of bearing pad

stiffness and width on end region elastic stresses. The FEA (finite element analysis) program

Adina (R&D 2009) was used to conduct all modeling and analysis. All models were linear

elastic. Strain gage and displacement data from experimental work reported in Appendix B were

used to validate the FEA model. Hereafter the beams reported in Appendix B are referred to as

the “small beams.”

Abstract:

The Tuttle Creek Bridge (Bridege No. 16-81-2.24) was built in 1962. Like many older welded steel bridges, it has developed fatigue cracks. The majority of cracks were forming in the upper web-gap region. In addition, fatigue cracking was occurring al...
