Description
This study analyzes the effects of temperature change and thermal gradients on deck joint movement and provide recommendations regarding deck joint elimination. The data indicates that temperature shifts and thermal gradients through the depth of the girders along the joint are impacting the bridge's movements and causing changes in stress. A strong parallel is shown between the temperature changes and the study joint's movement and changes in stresses...

Description
This report summarizes the analytical studies on the seismic performance of typical Colorado concrete bridges, particularly those with curved and skewed configurations. A set of bridge models with different geometric configurations derived from. a prototype bridge selected in Denver area were studied. Some discussions about the connection modeling are carried out in terms of the interior bent support. For the displacement-based and force-based designs,...
