On Thursday evening, May 23, 2013, the Interstate 5 Bridge over the
Skagit River in Washington state collapsed due to impact by an
oversize truck, dumping vehicles and people into the water.
Fortunately, the bridge is located in a rural area and nobody was
killed in the accident, but three people were rescued after their
cars plunged into the frigid water of the Skagit River. According
to Washington state officials, the bridge was inspected last year
and was not structurally deficient, but collapsed because of
apparent impact from an oversize truck. Nevertheless, the collapse
of the steel truss bridge renewed appeals for greater investment in
the nation's aging infrastructure. These appeals are echoed
throughout the bridge engineering community worldwide, as the
condition of deteriorated bridges worsens with increasing traffic
loads combined with lack of proper maintenance. Bridge engineers
from different countries shared their experience toward achieving
durable bridge structures, during the 7th New York City Bridge
Conference, held on August 26-27, 2013. This book contains select
papers that were presented at the conference. These peer-reviewed
papers are valuable contributions and of archival quality in bridge
engineering.
