Abstract: This paper will present a comparative study of tsunami-induced forces on box girder and T-girder bridges, which will be based on component level analysis. Component level analysis can explain the overall loading behavior ...

Abstract: Cumulative fatigue damage caused by repeated loads is one of the important factors that leads to formation of asphalt pavement potholes after they have been repaired. Investigations show that a recurring pothole often ...

Abstract: Renewable energy has the characteristics of fluctuation and intermittence due to environmental conditions; the fluctuation of output power affects the operation of the power grid. To combat these fluctuations, a control ...

Abstract: To improve grid-connected inverter operation performance, a power oscillation and current harmonic suppression coordinate control strategy that considers the problem of overcurrent is proposed in this work. First, the ...

Abstract: In this paper, the solitary wave forces on coastal bridge superstructures with box girders are discussed numerically. Although there are some empirical equations for wave forces on typical bridge superstructures, no relation ...
