Design Criteria for Theater of Operations Steel Highway Bridges. Volume II. Appendices A-I.

摘要

This volume details the development and justification of the design criteria, procedures, and material specifications for Theater of Operations (T/O) temporary steel highway bridges recommended in Volume I. Appendices A through D describe the development of the static load case criteria. The brittle fracture criteria are treated in Appendix E and the fatigue criteria are developed in Appendix F. Appendix G provides the background for the fastener and connection resistance for the static load case. Appendices H and I contain the development of the lateral load distribution and shear formulas. It should be emphasized that this volume does not provide recommendations for design criteria, procedures, and material specifications; it provides only their development and justification. Volume I provides the recommendations. (Author)
