Bridges vs. Buildings
• Bridges typically do not have architects-Structural Engineer is responsible for aesthetics-Structural system is always exposed (both good and bad)
![Page 4: Introduction to Bridge Engineering - Personal Web Pagemitcheje/Mitchell_Courses... · Introduction to Bridge Engineering. ... - Durability is a major design consideration ... •](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052406/5a71d2947f8b9abb538d1f44/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Bridges vs. Buildings
• Bridges are owned by the public- (+) Can institute changes to bridge engineering
relatively quick (e.g. LRFD)- (-) Focus is primarily on lowest initial cost,
with aesthetics playing a minor role if any at all.
- Are minimum cost and aesthetics competing objectives?

Bridges vs. Buildings
• Bridges are exposed to the elements- Expansion and contraction due to temperature
changes is a major concern- Durability is a major design consideration- Routine inspection and maintenance (initial
versus life-cycle cost)
![Page 8: Introduction to Bridge Engineering - Personal Web Pagemitcheje/Mitchell_Courses... · Introduction to Bridge Engineering. ... - Durability is a major design consideration ... •](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052406/5a71d2947f8b9abb538d1f44/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bridges vs. Buildings
• Bridges are subjected to large moving, repetitive loads (i.e. Trucks)- Fatigue is of primary concern (accumulated
damage/cracking due to repeat loading)
![Page 9: Introduction to Bridge Engineering - Personal Web Pagemitcheje/Mitchell_Courses... · Introduction to Bridge Engineering. ... - Durability is a major design consideration ... •](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052406/5a71d2947f8b9abb538d1f44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Bridges vs. Buildings
• Bridge failures pose (or were thought to pose) a smaller threat to human life. -Earthquake engineering of bridges lags far behind

Learning from Failures
• Point Pleasant (Silver) Bridge – Construction was completed in May of 1928– Spanned the Ohio River between Point
Pleasant, WV and Kanauga, OH– Known as the “Silver” Bridge because it was
painted with aluminum paint– Eyebar suspension bridge (approx. 1750ft)

Materials
• The original timber bridge deck was replaced by a steel grid filled w/ concrete (approx 3in) in 1941.– The deck replacement resulted in negligible increase in
dead load
• Eyebars were constructed of heat treated rolled carbon 1060 steel bars with forged heads – Eyebars were designed to break in the shank at ultimate
loading

Summary of Collapse
• Collapse occurred without warning on December 15, 1967 at approximately 5:00pm
• All three suspended sections fell within 60 sec• According to eyewitnesses, the collapse occurred
immediately after loud “cracking” sounds were heard coming from the Ohio Span
• Temperature at the time of collapse was 30o F• 46 persons were killed, 9 persons were injured,
and 37 vehicles fell with the bridge.

What Caused the Collapse ?
• Analysis conducted after the collapse indicated that the static stresses at the time of collapse were lower than the allowable stresses.
• If the stresses were lower than the allowable stresses, what caused the collapse?
![Page 18: Introduction to Bridge Engineering - Personal Web Pagemitcheje/Mitchell_Courses... · Introduction to Bridge Engineering. ... - Durability is a major design consideration ... •](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052406/5a71d2947f8b9abb538d1f44/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cause of Collapse
• Stress corrosion / corrosion fatigue initiated cracks at the inside of the pin hole of eyebar C13N.– Fatigue cracks were not visible to inspectors
• Cracks most likely initiated from the forge marks in the head of the eyebars
• Heat treated steel (lower toughness)• Temperature at the time of collapse was 30oF,
which also lowered the toughness of the material

Advances
• This collapse resulted in significant amount of attention in fatigue and fracture mechanics related to bridges– This research culminated in the
fatigue specifications with the AASHTO Bridge Specifications
• Bridges are now inspected every two years
