Abstract:Bridges are critical structures, serving an important function that is vital to the safe and economical conveyance of people and goods throughout Georgia. They are designed with specifications to carry loads including their self-weight and a design vehicle load, among others, when they are in service. Satisfying all design specifications is crucial to the structure’s strength, stiffness, stability, and durability throughout its lifetime. In addition to the in-service dead and live load conditions, bridges are also designed to accommodate various loading conditions during the construction process. In some cases, these construction load and associated stability requirements are the governing load conditions for some of the bridges’ components. Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has recently allowed the substitution of steel diaphragms for concrete diaphragms in its bridges.
