SIMON KENTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE DECK REPLACEMENT ANALYSIS
Part of the rehabilitation of the 70-year-old Simon Kenton Suspension Bridge in Maysville, Kentucky included a full sidewalk and deck replacement for the main suspension spans. As an alternate to the planned contract sequence, the contractor proposed a different sequence of deck replacement. To satisfy contractual requirements, an analysis was required to show that the alternate deck replacement sequence would have no adverse effects on the structure. This paper details the 3-D nonlinear analysis carried out to show that this bridge could endure the alternate deck replacement sequence proposed for its renewal.
