Abstract: Structural health monitoring represents an efficient way to diagnose the condition of cable-stayed bridges. Most studies assessing the condition of cable-stayed bridges and detecting damage to them have been developed to ...

Abstract: Damage to girders threaten a bridge’s safety. They can be effectively detected by the neutral axis (NA) position of a girder. However, the NA position is inevitably affected by the nonlinear temperature gradient of girders, ...

Abstract: Bearing displacement is a necessary monitoring index for a long-span bridge because abnormal bearing displacements could result from structural deterioration or damage. Therefore, an early warning method is established for ...

Abstract: Tie-down cables are critical components of uplift-restraint bearings in bridges. Damage of a tie-down cable substantially affects the safety of a bridge and driving conditions. In this study, a damage identification method ...
