Abstract: Steady traffic growth may pose a safety hazard to in-service bridges, especially long-span bridges subjected to the simultaneous presence of multiple heavy-duty trucks. This study presents a methodology for evaluating the ...

Abstract: This study presents a novel approach to simulating the fatigue stress spectra of short- to medium-span bridges under stochastic and dynamic traffic loads. The stochastic traffic load is simulated based on the weigh-in-motion ...

Abstract: The bond performance between concrete and steel bars in complex environments forms the basis for the serviceability and safety of RC (reinforced concrete) structures. To investigate the bond behavior between steel bars and ...

Abstract: This paper systematically performed fatigue crack propagation (FCP) tests to investigate the corrosion fatigue crack propagation (CFCP) behavior of HRB400 steel bar. The fatigue loading scheme involved the constant amplitude ...
