Design of structures 2003 : bridges, other structures, and hydraulics and hydrology. A peer-reviewed publication of the Transportation Research Board TRB.

TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board 1845 provides design concepts for general structures, steel bridges, concrete bridges, tunnels and underground structures, and culverts and hydraulic structures, along with research into the dynamics and field testing of bridges, structural fiber-reinforced plastics, and seismic design of bridges. Papers present research on the fundamental flaws in the appearance of bridges, the effects of distortion on the strength of curved I-shaped bridge girders, the structural performance of storm water detention system with bundled high-density polyethylene pipes, and a seismic analysis and displacement-based evaluation of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, New York. The papers contained in this volume were among those presented at the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2003. For abstracts of some of the papers see C 33075 - C 33097.
