Abstract: A new test, called the seismic cone penetration test (SCPT) is described. A small rugged velocity seismometer has been incorporated into an electronic cone penetrometer. The combination of the seismic downhole method and ...

Abstract: A series of experiments and analyses have been conducted to assess the vulnerability of hollow circular web members in welded aluminum sign truss structures to wind-induced resonant vibrations. Results from nondestructive ...

Abstract: The development of corrosion as a result of tendon exposure to moisture or corrosive media often leads to wire fractures. Such fractures in unbonded tendons are expected to induce global strand and anchor response through ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research project aimed at examining the capabilities and challenges of two distinct but not mutually exclusive approaches to in-service bridge assessment: visual inspection and installed ...

Abstract: A mixed‐layer thermal stratification model was calibrated for Woods Lake, a shallow acidic transparent lake located in the Adirondack region of New York, for most of the non‐ice‐cover period of 1985. The model was also ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research project aimed at examining the capabilities and challenges of two distinct but not mutually exclusive approaches to in-service bridge assessment: visual inspection and installed ...

Abstract: Stockbridge-type tuned-mass dampers are commonly used in highway sign and traffic signal support structures throughout the U.S. to reduce wind-induced and truck gust–induced vibrations. Effectiveness of these dampers in ...

Abstract: A critical aspect of using wireless sensors for structural health monitoring is communication performance. Unlike wired systems, data transfer is less reliable between wireless sensor nodes owing to data loss. While reliable ...
