Abstract: With the advantages of a small footprint, wide under-bridge view, and beautiful appearance, single-column pier bridges are widely used in urban bridge networks. However, single-column pier bridges are prone to damage during ...

Abstract: A damage identification method named the pseudoexcitation (PE) approach was established previously, the principle of which resides on local examination of perturbation of structural dynamic equilibrium conditions. While ...

Abstract: Seismic isolation is an efficient strategy to protect structures from the effects of moderate to severe earthquake shaking. Conventional isolation devices can reduce the structural response in horizontal directions only; ...

Abstract: When estimating the required acceleration length of vehicles accelerating from a stopped position, a constant acceleration rate is sometimes assumed for the sake of simplicity. Nevertheless, to date there is no clear-cut ...

Abstract: Composite passive insulation technology has been proved to be an effective method to reduce heat leakage into the cryogenic storage tank. However, the current related research mainly focused on liquid hydrogen (LH2). The ...
