Abstract: Evaluating driving safety of moving vehicles on slender coastal bridges as well as bridge safety is important to provide supporting data to make decisions on continuing or closing the operations of bridges under extreme ...

Abstract: Slender bridges, often built in harsh coastal environments, may experience dynamic loadings from strong winds and high waves. Busy traffic is expected during normal operating conditions and during evacuation events before ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, an alternative local Galerkin method (LGM), the o3o3 scheme, is proposed. o3o3 is a variant or generalization of the third-order spectral element method (SEM3). It uses third-order piecewise polynomials ...

Abstract: This paper provides a synthesis of results that have emerged from recent modeling studies of the potential sensitivity of U.S. regional ozone (O3) concentrations to global climate change (ca. 2050). This research has been ...
