Abstract:A field instrumentation analysis has been performed on the Arkansas River Bridge, [KDOT Bridge No. 96-78-19.11(064)]. The testing was performed before and after retrofit on the exterior girder to floor-beam connections. Before retrofit the measured stresses match the computational ANSYS results at the stiffener plate. This retrofit of softening the connections was successful, both in reparing existing cracks which were growing in the heat-affected zone of the welds and in softening the connection to mitigate the out-of-plane distortion driven strain-induced fatigue.
