Abstract: In this paper, a three-dimensional nonlinear dynamic analysis framework for RC bridges is established based on the force analogy method (FAM). Two biaxial local plastic mechanisms, rotation hinge (RH) and slide hinge (SH), ...

Abstract: In this paper, the Navier-Stokes equation of fluid, which is incompressible, viscous, changeful, and free surface, is solved by the method of volume of fluid to obtain the dynamic liquid pressure in a rectangular container. ...

Abstract: To meet the requirements of performance-based earthquake engineering, the influence of damage should be considered when conducting a structural performance assessment. In recent years, significant effort has gone toward ...

Abstract: To estimate life-cycle cost and future seismic capacity, the life-cycle analysis in seismic design of bridges is formulated as an interactive multiobjective decision-making and optimization problem. Specifically, preference ...

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: Independent component analysis (ICA) has the potential to identify anomalies in structural health monitoring (SHM) data due to its non-Gaussian data-processing ability. In order to additionally take into account the dynamic ...

Abstract: The evaluation of stationarity, such as the widely used steady-state response assessment in stepped-sine testing, is a critical issue in structural dynamics. Stepped-sine excitation is a crucial testing method for nonlinear ...

Abstract: In this paper, an innovative approach is developed to consider the impacts of dynamic effect and deterioration on the seismic performance analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures. Firstly, based on the dynamic ...

Abstract: Many transmission towers have collapsed during typhoon events, and the design wind loads in most current standards consider only the turbulence characteristics of monsoons. The gust response factor (GRF) is a parameter ...

Abstract: Nonlinear analyses of structures under dynamic excitation are becoming increasingly important in structural design and performance evaluation, but large computational effort is the main factor that limits their application. ...
