Abstract: This paper presents an experimental and theoretical study of vibration of a four-span continuous plate with two rails on top and four extra supports excited by one or two moving model cars, which is meant to represent ...

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient approach for dynamic stress analysis of a long-span bridge under the combined action of stochastic traffic and wind loads based on the stress influence function, which converts the stress ...

Abstract: The spectral representation method (SRM) has been widely used to simulate the random wind field for engineering structures. In the modeling process, the Cholesky decomposition of the cross power spectral density (CPSD) ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to present a new approach for determining the truck weight limit of simply supported steel girder bridges. This approach is based on the fatigue reliability of bridge girders under the action ...

Abstract: Bridge vortex-induced vibration (VIV) involves a number of uncertainties resulting from wind characteristics, structural properties, and bluff-body aerodynamics. Evaluation of VIV considering the variability in the parameter ...
