PROJECT PROFILE WJE www.wje.com Frankford Elevated Rapid Rail Line Bearing Failure Evaluation and Repair Design | Philadelphia, PA SOLUTION WJE visually inspected and documented the condition of 18,000 haunches using a web-based user interface developed in-house and database software. WJE engineers installed instrumentation to perform field testing under controlled conditions and during normal train operation to measure the cyclic loads, stresses, and displacements experienced by the haunches and supporting steel stringers. Surplus decks were tested in WJE’s structural laboratory to evaluate the different loading mechanisms causing the haunch distress. A repair was desig
