Project Applications

I-95 Bridge

Main features used in this application Construction stage analysis with composite action Moving load analysis with concurrent member forces Section stiffness scale factor Node local axis for skewed bridge

Description on this project

This work includes reconstruction of an I-95 Bridge and construction of the new ramp S-1
bridge over Fulton Terrace. Welded steel plate girders are utilized to optimize girder spacing
to coincide with the travel lanes. A three-stage construction of the I-95 Bridge is provided to
maintain traffic in I-95 during the construction.
