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: 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: Taking advantage of the structural health monitoring system installed on the steel truss arch girder of the Dashengguan Yangtze Bridge, the monitoring correlation between strain and uniform temperature at night is obtained, ...

Abstract: The fatigue cracking of orthotropic steel deck (OSD) has long been a problem of bridge structures. It is meaningful to assess bridge fatigue life using an appropriate method. In this paper, a simplified nodal force structural ...

Abstract: The early fatigue cracking of orthotropic steel decks has been a long-standing problem for heavy traffic regions of China’s long-span bridges. However, the actual fatigue life is much lower than the fatigue life calculated ...
