Simulation of Dynamic Liquid Pressure for Tuned Liquid Damper
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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. ...
Interactive Multiobjective Optimization for Life-Cycle Analysis in Seismic Design of Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
Special Issue on Health Monitoring Technologies for Civil Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Coupled Fatigue-Corrosion Failure Analysis and Performance Assessment of RC Bridge Deck Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coupled fatigue and corrosion is more detrimental for RC bridge deck slabs than either fatigue or corrosion separately. The main objectives of this study are to obtain a greater understanding of the deterioration mechanisms ...
Bayesian Combination of Weighted Principal-Component Analysis for Diagnosing Sensor Faults in Structural Monitoring Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is essential to diagnose, i.e., detect and isolate, potential sensor faults for structural health monitoring to guarantee reliable condition evaluations. This paper proposes an innovative method called weighted ...
Optimum Value of Negative Stiffness and Additional Damping in Civil Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The negative stiffness (NS) phenomenon and additional supplemental damping (AD) were proposed and investigated in recent years. Despite the bulk of literature on the base shear reduction for structures with the NS at the ...
Wind-Resistance and Failure Analyses of a Lightning-Damaged Transmission Tower
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper estimates the wind-resistance of a lightning-damaged transmission tower. The buckling cause of a tower member under lightning excitation is reexamined through an overall tower model, and the modelling method of ...
Sensor Fault Diagnosis for Structural Health Monitoring Based on Statistical Hypothesis Test and Missing Variable Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using structural monitoring data collected from a sensor network to assess the health condition of a monitored structure relies on the accurate operation of the sensors and therefore could be affected by various sensor ...
Sensor Fault Diagnosis for Structural Health Monitoring Based on Statistical Hypothesis Test and Missing Variable Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using structural monitoring data collected from a sensor network to assess the health condition of a monitored structure relies on the accurate operation of the sensors and therefore could be affected by various sensor ...
Dynamic Modified Model for RC Columns Based on Experimental Observations and Bayesian Updating Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a probabilistic framework for constructing a dynamic modified model for RC columns was developed based on dynamic loading test results and the Bayesian updating method. The influences of strain rate on the ...
