Abstract: Corrugated web plate girders (CWPGs) have grown in popularity in Canada in recent years because of their economic efficiency. Although research on the flexural performance of such members has increased in recent years, ...

Abstract: Elastomeric bridge bearings are installed between the bridge superstructure and substructure to accommodate translational and rotational deformations. The manufacturing quality of elastomeric bridge bearings is of high ...

Abstract: During the vulcanization process of steel-laminated elastomeric bridge bearings, unavoidable flow of elastomer occurs inside the mold under high pressure and nonuniform heating. This may cause the interior steel laminates ...

Abstract: Many bridge management systems (BMSs) plan future maintenance and inspection based on deterioration models derived from probabilistic analysis of field inspection data. Such analysis considers the aleatoric but not the ...

Abstract: Proper inspection and maintenance schedules are integral to bridge functionality and safety; however, they also pose challenges in light of budget and resource limitations. As such, bridge management systems (BMSs) are ...
