This volume provides: a) an overview of bracing utilized for I-girders, b) a discussion of the bracing systems for tub girders, and c) design requirements for the members and connections of bracing systems.
Torsional brace strength requirements for steel I-girders. Yangqing Liu1, Matthew C. Reichenbach2, Todd A. Helwig3. Abstract. Torsional bracing is often used to stabilize beams in building and bridge applications. The bracing improves the stability by restraining twist of the cross section.
23 sty 2023 · This study introduces critical imperfections at the target bracing element to ensure that the maximum bracing internal forces occur in the bracing elements of the steel I-girder bracing systems. The bracing moments obtained from FEA were compared to the design equation stipulated in the AISC provisions [ 1 ].
Recent research has demonstrated the propensity of I-girder systems with a relatively large length/width ratio (ie. narrow girder systems) to fail by a system mode of buckling that is not sensitive to the spacing between traditional torsional bracing systems.
design of a typical three-span continuous straight non-skewed steel I-girder bridge with spans of 140.0 feet – 175.0 feet – 140.0 feet. Specifically, the example illustrates the design of selected critical sections from an exterior girder at the strength, service and fatigue limit states. Constructability checks,
Three straight steel I-girder bridges Little or no skew Basic design parameters: • Six units, mix of 2-and 3-span units • Spans: 113’ to 164’ • Girder spacing: 9’-4” to 10’-9” • Girder web depths: 62” to 74” • Cross-frame spacing: 21’ to 25’ 20 9/14/2017
