One promising technique for the seismic design of highway bridges with steel superstructures is to dissipate energy through the inelastic deformation of the end cross frames. These so-called ductile ...
With completion of the Kanawha River Bridge in August 2024, the team constructed dual three-span plate girder bridges, each with a 562-ft main span, creating the longest steel plate girder span bridge ...
