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: 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 ...
