STUDY OF THE SEGMENTAL BOX GIRDER BRIDGE AT TURKEY RUN. SUMMARY REPORT
The results of a field study of the precast prestressed segmental box girder bridge at Turkey Run, Indiana are presented in summary form. Experimental data have been collected using an ad-hoc instrumentation system in order to determine certain features of the behavior and performance of the bridge. The study is specifically concerned with transverse bending; bridge temperatures and associated effects, and long-term deformations. Details of a comprehensive load test to detrmine tranverse bending responses are reported, as arre the results of these tests. The results of all phases of the research are discussed and summarized. The principal findings and conclusions drawn from the project are given. (Author)
