Abstract: The successful past performance of an existing bridge is evidence of its resistance, which reduces the uncertainty associated with the resistance and so increases the bridge reliability. However, the resistance deterioration ...

Abstract: Bayesian updating is a powerful tool for updating engineering models with observed information. As a result of structural health monitoring sensors or platforms, up-to-date information reflecting characteristics of structures ...

Abstract: This paper introduces the durability design of concrete structures in the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau project for a working life of 120 years. The environmental actions are analyzed and the deterioration processes for the ...

Abstract: Seven specimens were tested to investigate the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened by wrapping with a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic sheet. All specimens were tested under lateral reversal ...

Abstract: Six three-dimensional (3D) joints between concrete-filled square steel tubular columns and composite steel-concrete beams were tested under bidirectional reversal loads. The primary purpose of this experiment was to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental program designed to examine the long-term behavior of composite steel-concrete beams under sustained loads. The test program consisted of two simply supported beams under positive bending ...

Abstract: The creep, shrinkage, and cracking of concrete may induce time-dependent changes in the stresses, internal forces, and deflections of steel-concrete composite beams. This paper presents an analytical model to consider these ...

Abstract: To predict the future condition of a bridge, statistical models for the time-in-condition rating (TICR) can estimate the time that a bridge stays in a given condition and then predict the future condition of the bridge. ...
