Abstract: To evaluate the residual service performance of corroded high-tensile steel wires, a batch of in situ wires that had served for 13 years in the hangers of an arch bridge was investigated. Four types of corroded wires were ...

Abstract: The traditional peridynamic fatigue model is capable of simulating the fatigue behaviors in stable region because of its correlation to the Paris law, which describes the stable evolution of fatigue crack growth rate. ...

Abstract: Environmental corrosion and cyclic dynamic loadings are the main causes of cable failures. In the degradation process of cables, the effects of corrosion and cyclic loading are coupled and the corrosion rate is time ...
