Guide specifications for bridges vulnerable to coastal storms

1st ed.
  • 4 Want to read

This document contains comprehensive specifications for the design of bridges vulnerable to coastal storms. This guideline embodies new concepts not included in previous design provisions. The methods for calculating wave forces on superstructures are based primarily on numerical simulation of the state of pressure, velocity, and acceleration within the water as a wave passes under or over bridge cross sections. Coefficients needed for the numerical simulation process, known as the Physics Based Method (PBM), were developed through physical wave tank tests. Bridge failures due to storm surge and wave loading in Gulf Coast states during recent years provided limited field data that was used to further verify these methods. Also included are current-induced forces guidelines that were the results of recent research conducted at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.

Edition Notes

"Highways Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures"--P. iv.

"BVCS-1"--P. [4] of cover.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 55).

Prepared for the FHWA under the pooled fund contract DTHF61- 06-T-7006 for the "Development of Guide Specifications for Bridges Vulnerable to Coastal Storms and Handbook of Retrofit Options for Bridges Vulnerable to Coastal Storms." Sponsored by ten states and the FHWA, the project was contracted to the private firm Modjeski and Masters, Inc., with subconsultants Moffatt and Nichol, Inc., Ocean Engineering Associates, Inc., D'Appolonia, Inc., and Dr. Dennis R. Mertz. Dr. John M. Kulicki was the principal investigator for Modjeski and Masters, Inc.
