Reducing Fabrication Errors in Steel Bridges
نویسنده
چکیده
At the University of Kansas, we are collecting cases and advice and making it available by computer. The software, Fabrication error Indexed eXamples and Solutions (FIXS), is a knowledge-based system to provide quick, possible solutions to fabrication errors suitable for use by multiple DOTs. The sharable database can lead to standardized solution procedures that would expedite bridge fabrication and would be expected to reduce fabrication costs.

Prospect of High-performance Welded Steel Bridge
The development of several grades of high-performance steel (HPS) with yield strengths of the order of 480 to 690 MPa (even more) with improved weldability, toughness and corrosion resistance have changed the scenario of fabrication of welded steel bridges for highway and rail bridge constructions. The HPS possesses the optimum combination of properties required to build cost-effective structur...
متن کاملEffects of Temperature Variations on Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
The monitoring of a precast, prestressed girder bridge during fabrication and service provided the opportunity to observe temperature variations and to evaluate the accuracy of calculated strains and cambers. The use of high curing temperatures during fabrication affects the level of prestress because the strand length is fixed during the heating, the coefficients of thermal expansion of steel ...
متن کاملClosed Loop Control of Milling Tool Deflection
BACKGROUND Injection molding is an important manufacturing process for optical and mechanical components. The hard steel dies used in injection molding play a direct role in the quality of molded parts. Traditionally, fabricating the dies involved rough milling followed by heat treatment, grinding and polishing. Recently, high-speed machining of heattreated steel (hardness > 55 Rc) has become a...

Injection molding is an important manufacturing process for optical and mechanical components. The hard steel dies used in this process play a direct role in the quality of molded parts. Traditionally, fabricating these dies involved rough milling followed by heat treatment, grinding, and polishing to the desired shape. Recently, high-speed machining of heat-treated steel (hardness > 55 Rc) has...
متن کاملComparison Study on Neural Networks in Damage Detection of Steel Truss Bridge
This paper presents the application of three main Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in damage detection of steel bridges. This method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. The changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. To circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear n...
