Abstract: Due to the expanding availability of high-fidelity weigh-in-motion (WIM) data in recent years, various local agencies have modified bridge design and rating procedures to best reflect state-specific traffic loads. However, ...

Abstract: Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is frequently used to determine optimal structural geometry and material characteristics that can best meet performance goals while considering uncertainties. In this study, the ...

Abstract: Various local governments have developed state-specific vehicular live-load factors for bridge rating. However, a significant computational demand is often associated with such an effort. This is due to the large size of ...

Abstract: In this study, the bond strength of a typical FRP system subjected to long-term natural weathering in the midwest United States is experimentally investigated, and the rate of degradation is estimated. To do this, the bond ...
