Abstract:

The Tuttle Creek Bridge 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 along gusset plates in the structure. A retrofit was performed in 1986 to prevent further fatigue cracking. Unfortunately, the cracks propagated after the retrofit. The purpose of this report is to present results of the post-retrofit test with data from the pre-retrofit test. Comparisons of stresses for each key area are included in the report. Details of the Tuttle Creek Bridge and testing procedure are provided.
