Abstract: The increasing intensity and frequency of extreme hydrological events poses a significant threat to the safety of transportation infrastructure across the globe. To reduce the failure risk associated with these structures, ...

Abstract: Climate change has been recognized as a significant threat for transportation infrastructure. The change in temperature profiles and precipitation patterns and the increase in the intensity of weather-related extreme events ...

Abstract: The prediction of the ultimate load capacity of composite bridges of slab‐on‐I‐steel girder construction is necessary. This is dictated by design requirements for the ultimate limit states of such bridges. In this paper, ...

Abstract: Civil infrastructure systems are subjected to progressive deterioration resulting from multiple mechanical and environmental stressors. This deterioration process is developed under uncertainties related to load effects, ...

Abstract: Successful management of deteriorating structures requires the reliable prediction of damage occurrence as well as the time-dependent damage propagation under uncertainty. The reliability of the performance prediction ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on estimating the fatigue life below the constant amplitude fatigue threshold (CAFT) of steel bridges by using a probabilistic approach on the basis of a bilinear stress life (i.e., the

Abstract: This paper evaluates the fatigue stress and damage accumulation in steel railway bridges using a dynamic coupled train-bridge system model. The system consists of a spatial vehicle model, a three-dimensional (3D) bridge ...
