Abstract: While the suspended sediment loads play a very important role during the process of bridge-scour development, no computational models exist for reliable quantitative simulation and analysis of such loads during the scouring ...

Abstract: Overturning collapse has been regarded as one of the most critical failure modes for single-column-pier bridges in current practices. To reveal the entire overturning process, a meticulous three-dimensional (3D) simulation ...

Abstract: A simple analytical model for calculating the vibration frequencies of anchor span strands in suspension bridges is proposed in this study. The vibration frequencies of strands are important indicators of tension force and ...
