<p>Bridges are composed by many structural members which interact with each other to resist against various load combinations. Considering damage repair of one of its structural members, the relationship between the recovery of the individual load-carrying capacity due to the repair of a single member and the improvement of the load-carrying capacity of the structural system is not clear. In the present study, a full-scale FE analysis has been conducted for a steel I-girder bridge system with corrosion damages which have been repaired. The analysis considered, the structural system behavior, varying the repaired areas and the type of patch members. From the analytical results, it was found that, compared to the method in which the damaged portion is completely repaired, the amount of repair can be reduced by taking into account the structural system behavior and partially repair both the damaged and the adjacent intact girders.</p>

A basic analytical model of the out-pump type complex journal gas bearing is set up to investigate the coupling mechanism between aerodynamics and aerostatics in a complex gas bearing and to improve its performance, under incompressible conditions. The analytical model shows that the load-carrying capacity function is composed of five items. Apparently, there is both pressure and structure coupling between aerodynamics and aerostatics; identically, the surface feature function is positive; and when the groove distribution coefficient is 0.30, it is approximately maximum.

Influence of roughness on conventional hydrodynamic lubrication of tilted pad thrust slider bearing is studied. Roughness effect is studied using Christensen stochastic process. To study the effect of roughness, bearing characteristics like load carrying capacity is analyzed.

This paper presents a semi-analytical study of the influence of inertia terms on the thermohydrodynamic analysis of infinitely-wide thrust bearings operating under conditions of laminar and turbulent flow. The momentum and energy equations are not seriously affected by the presence of inertia forces. Results show that the inclusion of inertia terms causes an increase in the fluid film pressure and load-carrying capacity. Thermal effects exert a pronounced influence on bearing performance.

The objective of the study was to verify the load-carrying capacity of an existing steel girder bridge. The selected structure was a 70-year-old deteriorated bridge in Michigan. The load-carrying capacity of the bridge was in question because of extensive corrosion of the steel girders. An initial rating indicated that the bridge had a marginal operating rating factor for 11-axle two-unit trucks, which are the heaviest vehicles allowed in Michigan. To avoid the load limit posting, it was decided that investigators would verify by nondestructive testing whether the bridge is safe to carry normal truck traffic. The test procedures used on the selected bridge included tests for obtaining stress histogram measurements and weigh-in-motion measurements and a proof load test. The methodology and the results are described.
