Abstract: The flow field around a horizontally oscillating bridge pier during earthquakes is characterized by a high Reynolds number and a small Keulegan-Carpenter number. This study aimed at the fluid forces exerted on a circular ...

Abstract: With increasing concerns about infrastructure sustainability, ubiquitous sensing is an integral part of smart infrastructure in the context of smart cities. It generates large data sets containing hidden patterns and ...

Abstract: The perfobond rib (PBL) shear connector group composed of multiple layers of PBL shear connectors has been proven to be one of the most effective load-transferring components and is widely used in cable-stayed bridges. In ...

Abstract: Frictional resistance between the main cable and saddle is essential for counterpoising huge unbalanced cable tension in different spans of multispan suspension bridges. Vertical and horizontal friction plates are employed ...
