Abstract: A series of experiments and analyses have been conducted to assess the vulnerability of hollow circular web members in welded aluminum sign truss structures to wind-induced resonant vibrations. Results from nondestructive ...

Abstract: The development of corrosion as a result of tendon exposure to moisture or corrosive media often leads to wire fractures. Such fractures in unbonded tendons are expected to induce global strand and anchor response through ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a research project aimed at examining the capabilities and challenges of two distinct but not mutually exclusive approaches to in-service bridge assessment: visual inspection and installed ...

Abstract: Stockbridge-type tuned-mass dampers are commonly used in highway sign and traffic signal support structures throughout the U.S. to reduce wind-induced and truck gust–induced vibrations. Effectiveness of these dampers in ...
