Abstract: Flexible civil structures are prone to aerodynamic instabilities, such as long-span bridges and high-rise buildings, and wind-induced vibration is harmful to structural life-span and users’ comfort. To address this issue, ...

Abstract: A complete structural health monitoring system has been implemented on Aizhai Suspension Bridge for monitoring its health status and assessing its safety for long-term services. This system consists of nearly 112 sensors ...

Abstract: To investigate the effect of control-structure-interaction (CSI) between the innovative electromagnetic mass damper (EMD) control system and the test structure, three computational models are first developed in this paper. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design, modeling, and characterizing tests of an assembled freely pendulum-type active tuned mass damper (AP-ATMD) for structural vibration control, highlighting its unique features such as noncontact ...

Abstract: Excessive vibration of arch bridge hangers is a potential threat to the driving safety of high-speed trains; therefore, it is important to study the vibration characteristics and fast warning method of the hanger under ...

Abstract: The bond behavior between a plain bar and concrete has received more attention in recent years because of its importance in the assessment of historical structures. The negative effect of lateral tension on the bond ...

Abstract: Recently, the wavelet finite element has been introduced to solve wave propagation problems because of its outstanding compact support, multiscale, and multiresolution characteristics. In this research, the accuracy of a ...

Abstract: Based on full understanding of the characteristics of sparse distribution of inelastic deformation in the ends of beams and columns of moment-resisting frames subjected to strong earthquakes, state transformation procedures ...
