Abstract: The paper presents a field study on condition assessment of the shear connectors in a full slab-girder bridge via vibration measurements. First, a model updating technique is employed to assess the condition of the whole ...

Abstract: Drive-by bridge parameter identification has been an active research area in recent years. An instrumented vehicle passing over a bridge deck captures dynamic information of the bridge structure without bridge closure and ...

Abstract: This paper investigated flexural behavior of composite beams with innovative bolted shear connectors. The novel bolted shear connector consisted of a long tube nut and its compatible bolt. The nut was cast in concrete, and ...
