Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to assess the sensitivity of four highway bridges to wind and live loadings. The bridges are planned for construction on U.S. 59 in Houston, Texas. Each bridge will be of the tied-arch type and will be constructed on-grade over cut areas with clear spans in excess of 61 meters (200 feet). To expedite construction, unique procedures are planned which use existing bridges as platforms for final fabrication of the tied arches. This procedure requires consideration of wind loading on the arches during construction.
