Abstract:

Florida International University researchers

examined the possibility of removing twin steel

box-girder bridges from the list of fracture critical

structures. They studied the behavior of steel twin

box-girder bridges and developed a tool to quantify

the redundancy level of these bridges in the event

that one girder is completely fractured. The effects

of cross-frames, both within and between the

girders, were also studied.
