Field Verification over One Year of a Portable Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System for Steel Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because fatigue damage considerably reduces the service life of steel bridges, maintenance for fatigue damage should be performed properly. For the effective maintenance of fatigue damage, it is important to monitor traffic ...
Verification of the Reinforcement Effect of an SFRC Pavement under a Live Load Based on Visualization of Deformation of a Trough Rib of an Orthotropic Steel Deck Using MEMS IMUs and Contact Displacement Gauges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because repetitive high strain caused by complicated deformation due to traffic load leads to fatigue damage in an orthotropic steel deck, reinforcement methods that suppress deformation are effective as a countermeasure. ...
Bayesian Bridge Weigh-in-Motion and Uncertainty Estimation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many researchers have developed bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) technology, mainly focusing on the representative value of the estimated axle weights. However, the estimation of the probabilistic distribution of axle weights ...
Simplified Portable Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System Using Accelerometers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Monitoring traffic loads is crucial for effective steel bridge maintenance because fatigue damage in steel bridges is caused by the long-term cumulative effect of traffic loads. This article presents a simplified portable ...
Visualization of Deformation of Trough Rib of Orthotropic Steel Deck Under Live Load Using MEMS IMUs and Contact Displacement Gauges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An orthotropic steel deck has a structure in which thin steel plates (approximately 6–16 mm thick) are combined by welding. In this structure, displacement-induced fatigue damage often occurs due to complex deformation ...
Consistency of Bond–Slip Models in Simulating the Bond between ETS-FRP Bars and Concrete and the Shear Contribution of the Strengthening System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Predicting the shear contribution of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening system in a reinforced concrete (RC) beam strengthened using the embedded through-section (ETS) method remains challenging due to the ...
Experimental Investigation of Fatigue Shear Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with FRP Bars Using Embedded Through-Section Technique
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents the results of an experimental investigation of fatigue shear behavior in reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars using the embedded through-section (ETS) ...
