Abstract: The evolution rule of temperature-induced deflection in main girders is an important index to evaluate the service performance of long-span cable-stayed bridges, which directly reflects the coupling effect between the ...

Abstract: The dynamic strain response due to the passing trains is one of the most important indexes in the design and maintenance of long-span steel-truss arch railway bridges. The strain influence line (IL) and dynamic load factor ...

Abstract: With the continuous construction of high-speed railway networks in China, long-span railway bridges which carry multiple tracks are being put into service on the high-speed railway line. However, few studies focus on bridge ...

Abstract: With higher requirements in stiffness and strength, the running safety of high-speed railway bridges is more sensitive to structural damage. Compared with long steel hangers, short steel hangers sustain greater damage under ...

Abstract: Due to the designing characteristics of long span and low stiffness, the high-order vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of suspension bridges may occur under a special wind environment. The prototype monitoring data make it ...

Abstract: Fatigue cracking of orthotropic steel decks is a long-standing problem in bridge structures. The notch stress approach has been applied to the fatigue evaluation of steel structures. Parameters of the notch stress approach ...

Abstract: Considering the new challenges for high-speed railway bridges, the early warning of abnormal train-induced vibrations is necessary for ensuring the operation safety of both the bridge structures and the trains on the bridge. ...

Abstract: Using the flat steel-box girder of China’s Sutong Cable-stayed Bridge as a research object, its temperature field is long-term monitored and analyzed based on bridge’s structural health monitoring system. The temperature ...
