Title: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CRACKED DIAPHRAGM WELDS ON THE OHIO RIVER BRIDGE AT WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA
Accession Number: 00458065
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This paper contains a discussion on the finite element analysis of cracks in welds connecting floorbeam back-up diaphragms and web plates of box tie girders in a tied-arch bridge. Comparisons of the finite element analysis and the field instrumentation results are made at selected locations, and for one typical position of a test truck. Drawing on the conclusions of the finite element analysis, contract plans were developed to retrofit the tie girder. Two previously unconnected edges of the diaphragms were connected to the top and bottom flanges of the tie girder. Also, the floorbeam bottom flange was connected directly to the tie girder bottom flange.
