Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of a session on engineering mechanics at the ASCE Convention, held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 27, 1986. Sponsored by the Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE. This collection contains seven papers on evaluating the performance of bridges. Four papers assess the global bridge behavior for prestressed steel plate girder and truss bridges, steel box girder bridges, and highway bridges. Three focus on concrete bridge decks that had been subjected to fatigue and cyclic loadings or to progressive deterioration.
