Abstract: The effect of multiple vehicles on a bridge’s dynamic amplification is a complex problem. Previously writers have examined multiple vehicle presence by constructing elaborate finite element models or undertaking field ...

Abstract: To predict characteristic extreme traffic load effects, simulations are sometimes performed of bridge loading events. To generalize the truck weight data, statistical distributions are fitted to histograms of weight ...

Abstract: The static and dynamic effects of a railway bridge subjected to train loads have been investigated and analyzed to assess its condition. This paper investigates the potential of using repeated dynamic measurements taken ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel bridge damage identification methodology using simulated rotation measurements. To illustrate the concept, a numerical 1D beam model subject to a one-axle moving vehicle model is presented. ...

Abstract: Most of the commercially available bridge weigh-in-motion (B-WIM) systems are based on an algorithm developed by Moses. The performance of this method was generally acceptable for estimating gross vehicle weight (GVW) but ...

Abstract: Many writers, using both experimental tests and complex numerical models, have examined the effect of vehicle velocity on a highway bridge’s dynamic amplification. Although these tests and models give valuable quantitative ...

Abstract: Bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) systems provide an effective approach to identifying the axle and gross vehicle weights of vehicles as they travel over an instrumented bridge. For the majority of BWIM systems, the vehicle ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method of developing digital twins (DTs) of road bridges directly from field measurements taken under random traffic loading. In a physics-based approach, the full three-dimensional behavior of the ...

Abstract: This paper experimentally investigates a vibration-based scour monitoring approach applicable to bridges with multiple simply supported spans on shallow foundations. A monitoring strategy based on the relative changes in ...

Abstract: Bridge modal parameters play an important role in bridge engineering; they can serve as useful indices for many applications, such as numerical mode calibration and updating, and bridge structural health monitoring (SHM). ...
