Assessment of Transverse Deck Cracking in Bridges during Staged Construction
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Staged construction is often used for bridges, in which a portion of a bridge remains open to traffic while another portion is closed for construction. Although staged construction reduces delays and the need for detours, ... -
Automatic Detection of Pavement Marking Defects in Road Inspection Images Using Deep Learning
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Pavement markings serve to convey information to drivers, regulate driving behavior, and effectively mitigate traffic congestion and reduce accidents. Nonetheless, due to traffic exposure and temperature stress, pavement ... -
Crack-Detection Method for Asphalt Pavement Based on the Improved YOLOv5
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)In view of the low identification accuracy of the crack-detection technology of asphalt pavement under the current conditions of complex pavement (subject to strong light, water on the road, debris, and so on), an asphalt ... -
Evaluation of Total Stress in W-Flange Members Using Ultrasonic Shear Waves
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)This paper discusses the development of ultrasonic stress measurement (USM) technology as a potential tool for structural heath monitoring and evaluation of buildings and bridges. The proposed approach utilizes acoustic ... -
Reinforced Concrete Bridge Column Multihazard Performance: A Computational Tool to Assess Response to Vehicle Impact, Air Blast, and Fire
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Pier columns, as primary bridge supports, are vulnerable to extreme loading demands resulting from fire, vehicle collisions, and blasts. The combined effects of these demands may cause significant strength reduction, ... -
Explainable Machine-Learning Model for Rapid Damage Assessment of CFST Columns after Close-In Explosion
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)In the present study, the dynamic response and damage of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns under close-in explosion were numerically studied. An extensive parametric study was carried out to investigate the ... -
Automatic Rebar Picking for Corrosion Assessment of RC Bridge Decks with Ground-Penetrating Radar Data
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)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 ... -
Flexural Reliability of CFRP-Strengthened Bridge Girders
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)The reliability of reinforced concrete bridge beams that are flexurally strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates according to current AASHTO design provisions was quantified. The ... -
Lateral Cyclic Behavior of SRC-RC Hybrid Columns Bending around Strong and Weak Axes: Effects of Embedment Lengths
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Hybrid columns with partial structural steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) and reinforced concrete (RC) sections in the transfer stories of buildings are prone to premature shear failure due to sudden changes in load bearing ... -
Machine-Learning Algorithms in the Service Life Prediction of Facility Management: Approach in Southern Chile
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Concerning preventive maintenance plans for heritage timber buildings, computational methods are pioneering knowledge for the implementation of new preservation approaches in heritage structure management. In this context, ... -
Forensic Investigations of Concrete Degradation: Case Study of a Hydropower Project
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)This paper focuses on concrete degradation of hydraulic conveyance components of a hydropower project in Uganda that was commissioned in 2019. During a routine outage inspection in 2021, concrete damage was observed in the ... -
Train-Induced Vibration Characteristics of a Double-Story High-Speed Railway Station
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)Double-story high-speed railway stations have become increasingly popular due to their smaller footprint and improved operational efficiency. However, ensuring passenger comfort in such stations requires careful consideration ... -
Assessment of Retrofitting Techniques for a Four-Story Masonry Building to Resist Blast Loading
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Masonry walls are commonly preferred in the construction of low-rise buildings due to their proven efficiency in resisting gravity loads and their relatively low material and labor costs. However, few studies investigating ... -
Excessive Approach Pavement Pressure against Conventional Bridges
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Thermally induced stresses can build up in rigid pavements without pressure relief joints. The pressure created becomes a problem for adjacent structures such as bridges. The pressure can cause the pavement to push on the ... -
