Abstract: Vehicle-bridge interaction has been studied for a long time to investigate the structural behavior of bridges and vehicle ride comfort. An original frequency domain method is presented where the vehicle-bridge interaction ...

Abstract: Realistic truss design optimization problems are often governed by practical constraints. Because of the complexity of these constraints, usually only member constraints are taken into account during the optimization, and ...

Abstract: This work focuses on the coupling of a validated source model for free field traffic-induced vibrations to a receiver model that enables one to predict the response of buildings, accounting for dynamic soil–structure ...

Abstract: The spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) method aims to determine the small strain dynamic soil characteristics of shallow soil layers. The method involves an in situ experiment, the determination of an experimental ...

Abstract: This article presents an evaluation of the dynamic behavior of a slender steel footbridge before and after the installation of two tuned mass dampers (TMDs). The results of the experimental study show that the damping ...
