Representation of Incidence Angle in Seismic Analysis of Skewed Highway Bridges
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Bridges are critical components of lifeline systems that must remain functional without being severely damaged during earthquakes. Recently, researchers have carried out many studies on how the earthquake incidence angle ... -
Comparative Study on the Wake-Induced Vibration of PWS and WR Six-Cable Hangers of Suspension Bridges and Its Mitigation
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)With the continuous increase in the span of suspension bridges, six-cable hangers have been gradually adopted to meet the load requirements in the design of suspension bridges. However, the aerodynamic interference between ... -
Assessing Granular Debris-Flow Impact Forces on Bridge Superstructures
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)In countries similar to Austria, bridges fail due to debris-flow impact on a regular basis. As there is a large uncertainty in terms of the acting forces during these events, this study examines debris-flow impact forces ... -
Machine Learning–Based Bridge Maintenance Optimization Model for Maximizing Performance within Available Annual Budgets
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Effective maintenance planning for bridges is crucial for maintaining their performance, safety, and minimizing maintenance costs. Timely implementation of interventions can improve the performance of bridges and avoid the ... -
Rocking Bridge Columns with External Replaceable Tendons
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)Columns are usually the weak links in conventional bridges with regard to seismic design. Damage of reinforced concrete (RC) columns caused by moderate earthquakes is usually repairable, but significant damage is expected ... -
Fatigue Performance of a Novel Steel–Concrete Joint of a Long-Span High-Speed Railway Hybrid Girder–Cable-Stayed Bridge
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The steel–concrete joint (SCJ) of a railway hybrid girder–cable-stayed bridge transmits tremendous internal forces, resulting in complex structure and stress. The existing complex SCJs lead to difficulties in on-site ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study of Grout Effectiveness and Force-Transfer Mechanism in Socket Connections
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of grout and the mechanism of force transfer in socket connections. In doing so, it proposes a new transfer mode called integral transfer mode (ITM), as opposed to the ... -
Convoluted Reciprocity and Other Methods for Vehicle Speed Estimation in Bridge Weigh-in-Motion Systems
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)In bridge weigh-in-motion systems, the vehicle speed is a fundamental input parameter for the weighing algorithm. The speed is generally obtained by processing structural responses measured at different locations along the ... -
Deformation of a Tapered Box Girder with Trapezoidal Corrugated Steel Webs Considering the Resal Effect: Theory, Experiments, and Numerical Simulations
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Due to the weakened shear stiffness of trapezoidal corrugated steel webs (TCSWs), it is necessary to account for shear deformation in calculating the total deformation for girders with TCSWs. Most of the existing research ... -
