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 ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study of Seismic Response in CFRP-Strengthened and Damaged Rectangular Hollow Bridge Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This study aims to investigate the seismic performance and response of moderately damaged, rectangular hollow bridge pier specimens strengthened with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP). For this purpose, two 1:8 ... -
Numerical and Experimental Investigation on Vortex-Induced Vibration Suppression of a Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge with a Central-Slotted Box Girder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In this study, the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) performance, mechanism, and control of a self-anchored suspension bridge with the central-slotted box girder (CSBG) under the operating wind velocity of the bridge were ... -
Failure Analysis of Continuous Highway Steel I-Multigirder Bridges under the Combined Effect of Fatigue and Overloading Events
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)A significant number of recent highway bridge failures have been attributed to the lack of financial resources that constrained owners to keep bridges in service under undesired circumstances. Given that many highway bridge ... -
Framework for Developing Prediction Models for Boundary Conditions of Slabs in Girders Considering Interpretability: An Application for Deck Slabs in Composite Box Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The boundary conditions are critical for analyzing the behavior of the deck slabs in girders. However, the boundary conditions of slabs are hard to predict due to complex influencing factors. Recently, machine learning ... -
Investigation of Retrofit Strategies to Extend the Service Life of Bridge Structures through Active Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The durability of aging bridge structures has become a serious societal concern. It has been estimated that 40%–50% of the bridge stock in Europe and 36% in the US is approaching and exceeding the intended service life in ... -
Managing Railway Bridges Crossing Waterways through a Machine Learning-Based Maintenance Policy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Recently, more frequent and severe natural hazards that are caused by climate change have posed a great threat to the safety of transport systems worldwide. To enhance bridges’ resilience to natural hazards, this paper ... -
Bayesian Updating of Nonlinear Constitutive Models for Steel–Concrete Composite Girder Bridges Using Large-Scale Load Test Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Establishing an accurate finite-element (FE) model that faithfully replicates the nonlinear behavior of steel–concrete composite girder bridges is crucially important for effective model-based structural health monitoring ... -
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 ... -
Effect of Climate Change on Thermal Loads in Concrete Box Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Throughout their service life, bridges are exposed to ambient actions and environmental influences such as wind, thermal, and snow loads. Bridge design for environmental actions is currently based on observed, historical ... -
Assessing Temperature-Induced Deflections in Cable-Stayed Bridges during Construction: An Elastic Foundation Beam Model Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)To assess temperature-induced deflections in cable-stayed bridges under cantilever construction, the girder and tower of bridges were modeled as elastic foundation beams, with supported stiffness dependent on the tensile ... -
Lateral Cyclic Response of Bridge Columns Reinforced with CSA G30.18 500W High-Strength Steel
