摘要
This paper presents an evaluation of the influence of AASHTO live-load deflection criteria on the performance of steel I-girder bridges. Background information is provided regarding previous research studies focused at understanding the role and suitability of live-load deflection limits on steel bridge design. Further, the results of an extensive survey of state transportation departments regarding the use of these limitations is provided. The results of a computer analysis package developed to evaluate the variability of these survey results are also presented. Last, a series of analyses of existing steel bridges conducted to examine the effects of the live-load deflection limits on typical and damaged bridges to determine the role that these limits play in overall superstructure performance is provided.
