Abstract: Structural strain responses, generally induced by traffic, wind, temperature, and so forth, can be used to evaluate the safety and serviceability of in-service bridges. According to one-year continuous monitoring of strain ...

Abstract: The long-span bridge, characterized by slenderness and flexibility, is particularly sensitive to wind action. Extreme wind events, including typhoons and hurricanes, will threaten the safety and serviceability of long-span ...

Abstract: Steel slag is an environmentally friendly material with significant potential as an alternative to gravel for encased columns in soft ground improvement. However, the performance of composite foundations improved by ...

Abstract: The time-varying average and differential temperatures may significantly change the performance of steel truss bridges, which may increase the difficulties for bridge design, construction, and maintenance. Because hundreds ...
