Abstract: The antisliding safety of the middle saddle is a key issue for the design of three-pylon suspension bridges. Vehicle load is the main adverse effect, especially unsymmetrical vehicle load. A general mechanical model on the ...

Abstract: In recent years, several accidental collapses of girder bridges have occurred under the influence of eccentric heavy vehicles in China. To explore the causes and mechanisms of the collapses, a collapsed six-span, RC, ...

Abstract: Footbridges, as the fundamental structures spanning natural or artificial obstacles, not only perform the function of weight-bearing but also entail the role of pedestrian transporting. From the pedestrian transporting ...

Abstract: Vehicle-induced fatigue is a primary contributor to the formation of cracks on orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs). Currently, simplified fatigue vehicle models are often employed in bridge design specification to estimate ...
