Assessing Highway Bridge Chloride Exposure at a Provincial Scale: Mapping and Projecting Impacts of Climate Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study addresses the absence of a provincial scale database on chloride exposure for bridges, which specifically focuses on Ontario, Canada. Considering the region-based climate and traffic characteristics, a comprehensive ...
Structural Adequacy and Network Criticality: An Integrated Approach for Prioritizing Bridge Adaptation to Automated Truck Platooning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The emergence of connected and autonomous vehicles technology presents a unique challenge for existing highway bridges. Trucks forming platoons and traveling in close, high-speed formations offer fuel efficiency gains but ...
A Strut-and-Tie Model Approach to Design Precast Column-to-Pile Shaft Member Socket Connections against Prying-Action Failure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents a seismic design methodology for precast concrete column-to-pile shaft member socket connections. In designing such connections, the intent was to ensure that the plastic hinge occurs in columns while ...
