Field Evaluation of the Culloden IBRCP 400 KSI Bridge
The Culloden Railroad Overpass Bridge in West Virginia is a three-span continuous bridge with HPS 100W in the bottom flanges of the negative bending sections and is thus one of the first bridges in the U.S. to utilize this type of steel. The focus of this project is to experimentally and analytically evaluate design code applicability for girders fabricated from 100 ksi steel. Specifically, field testing of the Culloden Railroad Overpass bridge will be conducted in conjunction with 3D finite element analysis to assess the accuracy and consistency of the current AASHTO provisions for HPS 100W I-girders.
