Abstract: A method for predicting the bounds of vehicle-induced bridge responses with uncertain bridge and vehicle parameters is presented. The uncertainties in the parameters of the bridge and vehicle are represented with interval ...

Abstract: The traditional design method, with overall factors of safety, is still employed in Chinese specifications for gravity-type anchorages (GTAs) in suspension bridges. In this work, we investigated the safety-margin design ...

Abstract: Fluid resonance in the narrow gap formed by a two-box system under irregular wave actions is investigated by employing a viscous numerical wave flume based on the OpenFOAM package. The accuracy of the numerical model is ...

Abstract: The properties of steel at elevated temperatures are very important to the analysis of steel structures subjected to fire. This note reports on the results of the experimental studies on the high-temperature properties of ...

Abstract: To study the corrosion behavior of coupled steel bars under applied stresses, experiments on the influence of applied tensile and compressive stresses on the corrosion of coupled steel bars in simulated concrete pore ...
