One of the main concerns is stability of the piers and foundations due to the risk of scour; another is stream velocity, which in combination with high winds and seismic demands, can impose significant horizontal demands on the foundations. The use of deep piled foundations or drilled shafts is an emerging alternative. Various methods used to accelerate the construction schedule are also discussed. The term \"extradosed\" is used to describe the system that accelerates the process.","PeriodicalId":406185,"journal":{"name":"Bridge Design & Engineering","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116091268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article discusses the requirements for the design of new movable bridges that must have at least 50% of the inertial force even when the bridge is open less than 10% of the time. The key to retrofitting movable bridges is that the retrofit allow the bridge to move during the earthquake and thus preventing it from collapsing as a result of those motions. Examples are provided to show how this principle was used on different movable bridge retrofits.","PeriodicalId":406185,"journal":{"name":"Bridge Design & Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115204428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cost and disruption of investigations and costs associated with premature remedial or replacement work also make it essential to improve investigation and assessment procedures. If risks are to be correctly identified before failures occur, and remedial work is to be done effectively, research is needed to develop and disseminate best practice for engineers and material scientists in 3 areas. This article outlines and discusses these 3 areas: 1) identification of hidden defects arising from design, construction, or deterioration; 2) quantification of effects of deterioration on strength, robustness, and serviceability; and 3) defining limits of acceptable deterioration. A more rigorous investigation of deteriorating and collapsed structures using forensic techniques can provide essential information for developing improved inspection and assessment procedures for aging infrastructure, and should be based on fieldwork or rigorous lab examination and testing of large samples.","PeriodicalId":406185,"journal":{"name":"Bridge Design & Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132082306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With many players in the instrumentation world that accompanies SHM, the proper overall perspective is crucial. The decision must be made whether to hire a system provider to propose the SHM system or to turn to a research institution; and in terms of data storage, the answer is not any clearer, with a multitude of formats and servers available. Technologies must be reviewed and standards developed for SHM systems, with an urgent need for data formatting standards, data storage standards and agreements between owners and suppliers.
