Estimating Inspection Intervals for Bridges Based on Statistical Analysis of National Bridge Inventory Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a statistical approach to estimating an appropriate inspection interval for highway bridges based on historical condition data collected from 20 years of routine inspections. Condition ratings of 4,270 ...
Numerical Analysis and Experimental Validation of an Nondestructive Evaluation Method to Measure Stress in Rails
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a numerical formulation and the experimental validation of the dynamic interaction between highly nonlinear solitary waves generated along a mono-periodic array of spherical particles and rails in a ...
Reference-Free Damage Identification in Plate-Like Structures Using Lamb-Wave Propagation with Embedded Piezoelectric Sensors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Numerical and Experimental Study on the Dynamic Interaction Between Highly Nonlinear Solitary Waves and Pressurized Balls
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper discusses the dynamic interaction between a monoatomic chain of solid particles and a thin-walled spherical pressure vessel. The objective is to find a relationship between the highly nonlinear solitary waves ...
An Artificial Neural Network Model to Reduce False Alarms in Satellite Precipitation Products Using MODIS and CloudSat Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua and Terra platform with 36 spectral bands provides valuable information about cloud microphysical ...
Impact of Sensor Geometric Dimensions and Installation Accuracy on the Results of Instantaneous SHM Based on Wave Propagation Using Wafer Active Sensors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Since damage identification results can be impressed by the effects due to changes in environmental and operational conditions, developing an effective monitoring system without any prior measured baseline data, while a ...
New Framework for Risk-Based Inspection of Highway Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for determining bridge inspection intervals and procedures. The methodology was developed using established risk-based methodologies with the goals of improving bridge safety and ...
