2 Profile of T-beam Bridges in PA 1,651 Single Span T-beam Bridges in PA 1922 Standard Design Dwgs. Total Number in USA > 32,000 Total Number in PA >2600 Type Specific Design Built Between ~1930 & 1950 Span ~20 ft -40 ft Two-span Width ~ 20 ft - 40 ft 1927 Skew ~ 0-45 deg Slab Thickness ~ in Beam Spacing ~ 5 ft on center Beam Depth ~ 19 in - 40 in

3 Objectives Actual load capacity of RC single span T- beam bridges in PA using state-of-the-art scientific measurement and analysis techniques Load capacity for management purposes in conformance with AASHTO provisions and available resources

4 Scope of the Project Fleet strategy and statistical sampling Field evaluation of 27 bridges, analytical modeling and parameter studies Rigorous field experiments, field-calibrated 3D FE modeling of four bridges and study of the mechanisms affecting rating 3D FE Modeling and analysis of 40 bridges for rating and modified load distribution factors

5 Fleet Management Concept Study a statistical sample and project observations to the entire fleet Major challenges in application to Constructed Systems Complexity and ambiguity of performance criteria Size, life cycle, variability (no twins) Uncertainties in loading and capacity over time Lack of measured data and knowledge on system parameters over time Load capacity rating of certain populations may be governed a limited number of parameters. If these parameters are identified and their variation within the population can be determined, it should possible to implement fleet strategies.

13 3D FEM Stress Outputs to Compute Load Demand Model As-is Condition w/all Elements, End Restraints & Pin-pin supports Normal Stress Distribution (psi) due to the Most Critical Live Load Configuration (Moment values are kip-in) M D = 364 M L = 553 M U = 454 Shear Stress (psi) Distribution due to the Most Critical Live Load Configuration (Shear values are in kips) V D = V L = V U = (psi) (psi)

14 Current and Projected Condition for Swan Road Bridge x DF BAR7 Analysis RFM=1.27, RFV=1.80 As-is Condition with All Elements, End Restraints, Pin-pin Supports (using calibrated FEM) RFM=3.18, RFV=2.69 Projected Extreme Deterioration (using calib. FEM) RFM=2.11, RFV=2.30

15 Parametric Study for Swan Road Bridge X DF BAR7 Analysis (Swan Road Bridge) RF M =1.27,RF V =1.80 Pin-pin Supports with Parapets and Diaphragms (Nominal FEM) w/o pavement thrust RF M =3.05, RF V =3.54 Pin-roller Supports with Parapets and Diaphragms (Nominal FEM) w/o pavement thrust RF M =1.99, RF V =3.90 Pin-roller Supports with Parapets and without Diaphragms (Nominal FEM) w/o pavement thrust RF M =1.88, RF V =3.10 Pin-roller Supports without Parapets and Diaphragms (Nominal FEM) w/o pavement thrust RFM=1.44, RFV=2.64 Pin-roller Supports without Parapets and without Diaphragms (Nominal FEM) and with Extreme Deterioration w/o pavement thrust RF M =0.88, RF V =1.97

16 BAR7 and FEM based Load Rating BAR7 Rating = 0.92 Field Calibrated FEM = 3.18 Ratio (FEM/AASHTO) = 3.46 BAR7 Rating = 1.27 Field Calibrated FEM = 3.18 Ratio (FEM/AASHTO) = 2.50 BAR7 Rating = 1.22 Field Calibrated FEM = 3.35 Ratio (FEM/AASHTO) = 2.75 BAR7 Rating = 1.01 Field Calibrated FEM = 5.15 Ratio (FEM/AASHTO) = 5.10

17 Mechanisms That Contribute To Higher Load Rating by FE Analysis Demand Mechanisms Compression due to Earth Pressure and Pavement Thrust Restrained Boundaries Reinforced Concrete Parapets Capacity Mechanisms Bi-axial State of Concrete due to Restraints at the Boundaries Higher Yield Strength and Strain Hardening of Steel Multiple Rebar Layers Yield Line Capacity of Slab Diaphragm Beams Lateral Load Distribution due Slab Effective Force Redistribution Due To Cracking

18 Lateral Distribution Factor - Justification Actual load capacity rating much greater than BAR7 Utilizing the entire actual load capacity may not be justified as per AASHTO provisions/practice 3D FE analysis of all bridges impractical Relying on secondary elements (diaphragm beams, parapets) and boundary elements not typical Effects of continuing deterioration on capacity and failure mode unclear

19 Lateral Distribution Factor - Derivation Microscopic 3D FE Models of 40 bridges not incorporating secondary elements and mechanisms were analyzed to derive lateral distribution factors for BAR7 analysis Resulting FE based RFs are 10% - 55% higher than given AASHTO LFD RFs computed using Load Distribution Factors

22 Conclusions Promise of fleet approach/statistics Field-calibrated 3D microscopic FE Modeling Actual RF = X BAR7 RF 10% - 55% increase in rating factors only due to proper simulation of lateral load distribution Whether shear or flexure governs the actual load capacity and rating is one remaining very important issue Tests of most deteriorated bridges should be conducted at higher load levels and up to failure
