Increasing the Load Capacityof Major Bridges
As time passes ….bridges deterioratetraffic loads increase (heavier
vehicles)traffic volume increases (more
lanes)more lanes = more eccentricity
Strengthening can be very expensive
What can we do?
And how can we do it?
keep peak traffic runningshort periods of occupancytwo deadlines per dayno time to correct problemsdesign must be tolerant of misfitalso improve seismic, wind,
maintenance

into cable-stayed
6 weeks each summer,
keep conveyor running

Be creative
… and be careful.
Think first!
Some ideas …Accurately determine conditionReview loads and load factorsSubstitute lighter materialMake deck composite“Prestress” suspension bridgeAlter load pathsConvert the form of a bridgeAlter steel grade
