摘要: |
This investigation determined the magnitude and origin of residual stresses in plate girders, diaphragms and stiffeners built-in during construction. Residual stresses can contribute to crack formation. Three different steel bridges were studied: (1) a multi-girder bridge anchored at the abutments with no center pier; (2) a 4-span continuous multi-girder bridge with piers; (3) a movable, double-leaf bascule bridge. Bridges were instrumented with strain gages at the fabricator. Changes in reference strains were monitored: (1) after steel erection and bolt-up; (2) after deck placement; and (3) after parapet placement. |
