Abstract: This paper presents the implementation of the finite-element model updating for the Kap Shui Mun Bridge, a 430 m main span double-deck cable-stayed bridge in Hong Kong. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge have been ...

Abstract: The investigation of dynamic response for long-span cable-stayed bridges largely depends on a detailed understanding of their dynamic characteristics, such as the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and modal damping ratios. ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the nonlinear structural responses of steel liner-reinforced concrete penstocks of a concrete dam subjected to an internal pressure. The study reported herein consists ...
