Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of rebars’ corrosion monitoring systems on the vulnerability assessment and life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers subjected to repeated earthquake ...

Abstract: A framework for numerically predicting the wind-excited response of suspension bridges with a certain level of confidence is established by means of output only system identification, model updating, wind-response simulation, ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring of civil infrastructures is a difficult task, often impeded by the geometrical size of the monitored systems. Recent advances in conducting polymers enabled the fabrication of flexible sensors ...

Abstract: Supplemental damping devices, including passive, semiactive, and active systems, can be employed to reduce vibrations caused by various hazards. This paper examined tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs), a specialized type ...
