Determining Prestress Losses, Residual Capacity, and Degradation from Testing of Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders after 56 Years of Service
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Prestressed concrete bridges built as early as the 1950s and still in use have deteriorated as a result of prestress losses, aging, and corrosion. This deterioration necessitates load posting, repair, retrofit, or ... -
Corrosion Fatigue Evaluation of Suspender Cables in Railway Bridges Considering the Effect of Train-Induced Flexural Vibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)An increasing number of arch and suspension bridges have been built in railway networks. Suspender cables serve as the critical load-transmitting component in these cable-supported bridges, which are subjected to a combination ... -
Combined Effect of Low Temperature and Exposure Time on Seismic Performance of an LRB-Isolated Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This study investigates the modification in the seismic response of a base-isolated bridge that is exposed to low temperatures. The isolation system is assumed to be composed of lead rubber bearings (LRBs). The parameters ... -
Buffeting-Induced Fatigue Damage Assessment of a Long-Span Bridge under a Changing Climate Scenario
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)With the continuous increase of bridge spans, wind-induced vibrations will pose serious problems to structural integrity and serviceability. Among the many vibration sources of long-span bridges, buffeting, which results ... -
Bridge Maintenance Management Based on Routine Inspection Data: A Quantitative Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Mainstream bridge management systems use Markov chains of bridge condition ratings (CRs) to simulate temporal bridge health degradations and apply Markov decision processes to find optimal repair schemes. However, CR-based ... -
Bespoke Footbridge for Studying Pedestrian–Structure Interaction with Vertical Vibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Progress in quantifying and codifying pedestrian–structure interaction with a vertical structural vibration and the effects on both human beings and structures has been slow, primarily owing to a lack of experimental ... -
