Abstract: In this study, a novel acceleration-based vehicle identification method is employed within a hybrid bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) system in which the traditional strain-based BWIM system is augmented with an array of ...

Abstract: Previous research shows that an accurate simulation of vehicle–bridge systems is not feasible using beam models because they cannot adequately represent the torsional and transverse behavior of a bridge. Three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Tapered piles are used in place of cylindrical piles for their improved geotechnical performance. When tapered piles are subjected to axial dynamic loading, as is the case with machine foundations, an appropriate theoretical ...

Abstract: The induced trench construction method has been in practice across North America for the last century, and the analysis and design of such structures are conducted in accordance with Marston’s theory and the indirect design ...
