Abstract: Long-span bridges support busy traffic and experience considerable wind loads on the bridge decks nearly every day. In addition to these two major service loads, some extreme loads such as earthquake, vehicle collision, ...

Abstract: Cable loss is a critical extreme event for cable-supported bridges, which sometimes governs the bridge design. Like most extreme events possibly occurring on long-span bridges, cable loss (breakage) may happen with service ...

Abstract: It is important from the safety and economical perspectives that a suspension bridge should have minimal deformation under the self-weight of the bridge while the tension forces of the main cable and hangers remain at the ...

Abstract: Owing to current limitations on seismic forecasting, there is a high chance that a considerable number of vehicles will remain on bridges when an earthquake occurs. In traditional seismic analyses, traffic loads were often ...
