Abstract: This paper discusses advances in evaluation, health monitoring, and rehabilitation of cable-stayed bridges, and available methods. In the last 2 decades, the writer has contributed extensively to advances in cable-stayed ...

Abstract: This paper discusses advances in evaluation and health monitoring of cable-stayed bridges and available methods. Bridge engineers and highway administrators in the United States are gradually becoming more comfortable with ...

Abstract: In this paper, a finite difference formulation for vibration analysis of structural cables is introduced. This formulation incorporates into a unified solution the effects of the bending stiffness of cable and its ...

Abstract: External dampers have been utilized in a number of cable-stayed bridges to suppress transverse cable vibrations. However, simple and accurate damper design recommendations that concurrently consider all important cable ...

Abstract: Experimental and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the performance of masonry-infilled RC frames under in-plane lateral loadings. In this paper, the experimental results are concisely summarized, and ...

Abstract: The Hale Boggs Bridge opened to traffic on October 5, 1983. At the time, it was the first U.S. cable-stayed crossing over the Mississippi River. The PE (polyethylene) protective sheathing was damaged in many of the cables ...

Abstract: The influence of masonry infill panels on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames that were designed in accordance with current code provisions are investigated. Two types of frames are considered. One ...
