摘要

The Indian River Inlet Bridge is located along the coast of southern Delaware, and provides an important connection to some of Delaware's most popular tourist areas. The bridge is a five-span steel girder structure crossing almost 1,000 ft of water. Strong tidal flows at the inlet have caused significant scour holes to form on both sides of the in-water piers in the direction of flow. The scour has become so severe that the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has recognized a need for and installed a monitoring system to help monitor the stability of the bridge. The monitoring system consists of tilt sensors placed at the top of each of the in-water piers to monitor any movements that may occur as a result of the scour. This data is used in the current study to assess the current structural health and stability of the bridge.This thesis describes the steps taken to identify the potential effects of the scour on the strength of the bridge and the development of structural analysis tools that may be used to predict bridge performance based on current and future monitoring data. To accomplish these goals, background information is first provided on Indian River Inlet Bridge and the issue of scour. Second, details on the tilt sensors and data collected at the bridge are described. Third, an analysis of the bridge substructure is detailed including a pile capacity analysis for the piers and a pushover capacity analysis of the pier under lateral loads. Fourth, a finite element model of the superstructure is presented to determine how movement of the piers may affect the stress levels in the girders and deck. Finally, conclusions are made on the current and future strength and stability of the bridge in its present state and if the scour should increase. From this analysis it is predicted that the current magnitude of lateral movement of the piers is not likely to cause structural instability of the bridge. A discussion of potential effects should the scour conditions exacerbate is also included.
