Abstract: Ice accretion is a major concern that may endanger the operation safety of structures and even cause serious casualties in cold regions. Under freezing rain conditions, the size and shape of the accreted ice on different ...

Abstract: Wind-resistant performance is a major concern in the design and operation of pipeline suspension bridges. The mean aerodynamic force coefficients (MAFCs) are essential parameters for quantifying the wind loads on a bridge. ...

Abstract: The nonlinear flutter featured by the limit cycle oscillation (LCO) is a typical aeroelastic phenomenon for bluff decks and/or streamlined decks at large incidence angles. In this study, the flutter characteristics of a ...

Abstract: This paper develops a new symplectic eigenvalue analysis (SEA) method for deriving the symplectic analytical solutions for the bending of Timoshenko beams resting on two-parameter elastic foundations. The SEA method ...

Abstract: Investigations on the wind loads and aerodynamic responses of the bridge girder segment during the lifting construction stage are limited. Free vibration tests of a lifting girder segment of a kilometer-span cable-stayed ...

Abstract: Under strong wind actions, some long-span flexible deck bridges have been observed to exhibit significant lateral vibrations. Accurate quantification of the self-excited forces induced by lateral vibration is of great ...
