Wipf Strengthening Iowa State University Summary Introduction About one half of the approximately 600 000 highway bridges in the United States were built before 1940 and many have not been adequately maintained. Most of these bridges were designed for lower traffic volumes smaller vehicles slower speeds and lighter loads than are common today. In addition deterioration caused by environmental factors is a growing problem. According to the Federal Highway Administration FHWA almost 40 of the nation s bridges are classified as deficient and in need of rehabilitation or replacement. Many of these bridges are deficient because their load-carrying capacity is inadequate for today s traffic. Strengthening can often be used as a cost-effective alternative to replacement or posting. 2000 by CRC Press LLC The live-load capacity of various types of bridges can be increased by using different methods such as 1 adding members 2 adding supports 3 reducing dead load 4 providing continuity 5 providing composite action 6 applying external post-tensioning 7 increasing
