Abstract:

Extensive work applying fatigue and fracture mechanics, as well as an ANSYS coarse model to sub-model computational analysis, was performed to predict internal stresses at critical locations where the exterior floor-beam connections have experienced fatigue cracks at the stiffener plates. In addition to predicting internal stresses, Dr. Roddis and Dr. Zhao have provided a retrofit concept to extend the fatigue life of the exterior floor-beam connections. Strain gauges were installed before and after retrofit of the Bridge.
