Abstract: The detection and evaluation of internal corrosion of concrete bridge decks is of critical importance for bridge structure safety. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a nondestructive testing technique that has been used ...

Abstract: Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a widely utilized nondestructive testing technique for the detection and assessment of internal corrosion in concrete bridge decks. However, abnormal data generated during the practical ...

Abstract: Additional damping provided by a viscous damper (VD) may not be sufficient to mitigate the wind-induced vibration of long cables. In this paper, the damping properties of the hybrid application of a VD and a tuned mass ...

Abstract: Model updating seeks to update a finite-element model to reduce discrepancies between predicted and measured data. Metamodel-based model updating using bridge influence lines is a very promising method. However, the accuracy ...

Abstract: Cables play an important role in the structure of cable-stayed bridges. The cable force is an important indicator for the construction control, health monitoring, and performance evaluation of cable-stayed bridges. In ...
