Abstract: This paper investigates the use of the nonlinearity of acceleration measurements to bridge damage identification. Delay vector variance (DVV) method is applied to analyze the measured dynamic responses and to identify ...

Abstract: Bridge deterioration is inevitable in service, and the inspection and maintenance of bridges are needed to ensure structural integrity. To make cost-effective inspection plans, bridge management departments need degradation ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of steel-ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) composite beams with waffle slabs (SUCBWS) was investigated through experiments. The effects of design parameters, including the ratio of rib height to ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the flexural behavior of steel–UHPC composite beams with waffle slabs (SUCBWS) under hogging moment. A three-point, reduced-scale flexural test was performed to investigate the effect of reinforcement ...

Abstract: The feasibility of integrating the wave propagation (WP) method with the electromechanical impedance (EMI) method in damage diagnosis of joints in precast concrete segments under shear load was experimentally studied. The ...
