10 Curved Steel Girder Bridges What Has Changed over the Years? Analysis Methods Yield Strengths Frequency of highly curved and/or skewed bridges

11 Curved Steel Girder Bridges But there is still a key aspect of curved girder behavior that an engineer must understand

18 Behavior and Analysis of Curved and Skewed Steel Girder Bridges Domenic Coletti, PE John Yadlosky, PE World Steel Bridge Symposium 2005 Orlando, FL

19 Levels of Analysis Three Levels of Analysis Approximate Analysis 2D ( Grid ) Analysis 3D Analysis

20 Levels of Analysis Issues Level of modeling detail / accuracy Level of modeling effort Amount of output Live load modeling

21 Levels of Analysis Live Load Modeling Multiple live load cases ( live load generator ) Influence line approach Influence surface approach

22 Levels of Analysis Influence Surface Examples BSDI, Ltd.

23 Levels of Analysis Influence Surface Examples BSDI, Ltd.

24 Levels of Analysis Approximate Analysis Approximate Analysis Methods Line Girder + Factors V-Load Method: I -Girders M/R Method: Tub Girders

25 Levels of Analysis Approximate Analysis Line Girder + Factors Any line girder analysis tool can be used Factors from FHWA Curved Girder Workshop Approximate! Good for preliminary design FHWA Curved Girder Workshop Manual, 1976

26 Levels of Analysis Approximate Analysis V-Load Method For Curved I-Girders Developed by USS in 1960s V-Loads are the shears in diaphragms Computer tools available FHWA Curved Girder Workshop Manual, 1976 FHWA Curved Girder Workshop Manual, 1976

27 Levels of Analysis Approximate Analysis M/R Method For Curved Tub Girders Developed by Tung and Fountain in 1970 Analogous to V-Load Very cumbersome for multiple girder systems Tung and Fountain, 1970

28 Levels of Analysis 2D Grid Analysis What is a 2D Grid Analysis? Girders modeled as line elements Diaphragms modeled as line elements Deck modeled in strips as line elements

29 Levels of Analysis 2D Grid Analysis Grid Analysis Computer Tools MDX DESCUS I & II General FEM programs Others?

30 Levels of Analysis 2D Grid Analysis Advantages of Grid Analysis Simple modeling Efficient (level of modeling effort) Some find it easier to understand Computer tools readily available

31 Levels of Analysis 2D Grid Analysis Disadvantages of Grid Analysis Diaphragm modeling Deck modeling Load Distribution In sum: Accuracy questions?

32 Levels of Analysis 2D Grid Analysis Grid Analysis is Not Recommended for Severe curvature and/or skew Deep girders Long spans Variable depth girders

33 Levels of Analysis 3D Analysis What is a 3D Analysis? Flanges: beam or plate elements Webs: plate elements Diaphragms, bracing: truss or plate elements Deck: solid or plate elements

34 Levels of Analysis 3D Analysis 3D Analysis Computer Tools BSDI 3D System (limited LRFD capabilities) General FEM programs Others?

35 Levels of Analysis 3D Analysis Advantages of 3D Analysis All pieces and parts modeled - rigorous Direct analysis results for all pieces and parts Greater refinement Greater accuracy (?)

36 Levels of Analysis 3D Analysis Disadvantages of 3D Analysis Greater modeling effort More complicated model Results less intuitive In sum: Is the refinement worth the effort?

37 Levels of Analysis 3D Analysis Limitations of 3D Analysis Virtually no limitations on type or complexity of structures that can be modeled Limitations come down to time and money

38 Curved Steel Girder Design Design Process Lay out framing plan Establish initial plate sizing philosophy Run line Girder Adjust plates for 3D Model Run 3D Model Resize plates Rerun 3D Model Design remaining girder elements

56 Bearing Design Tips Use multi-rotational bearings Pot/spherical bearings Round laminated neoprene pads Restrain as few bearings as possible Restraint costs more Minimizes bearings locking up Minimizes concern over lateral restraint forces
