Deep Learning–Based Inspection Data Mining and Derived Information Fusion for Enhanced Bridge Deterioration Assessment
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Inspection data are usually utilized to assess bridge situations for directing further maintenance and preservation. However, due to the complexity of inspection data, mining and fusing valuable information to assess bridge ... -
Minimizing Superstructure Twist in Irregular Bridges through Optimization of Structural Parameters
(ASCE, 7/1/2023 1)Uneven distribution of mass, stiffness, and strength over the length of a bridge can produce rigid body rotation of the superstructure, or “twisting,” during an earthquake. Twisting response modes lead to the concentration ... -
Hybrid Simulation for Evaluation of Seismic Performance of Highway Bridge with Pier Retrofitted Using Fe-SMA Strips
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)The present research investigates the use of Fe-based shape memory alloy (SMA) strips for seismic retrofitting of rehabilitated RC bridge pier models. Four severely damaged bridge pier models were first rehabilitated by ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Drag Force on Integral Abutment Piles
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Piles transmit structural loads through skin friction, end-bearing, or both to deeper and stronger soil layers. Surcharge loads, site grading, or dewatering activities induce downward movement in the soil that is adjacent ... -
Lateral Loads and Displacements of Railroad Bridges from Field Investigations
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)The progressive increase in loads and frequency of trains traversing over aging railway infrastructure can lead to large lateral forces and displacements that could potentially cause derailment and problems related to ... -
Vision-Based Large-Field Measurements of Bridge Deformations
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )A high-resolution digital image correlation (DIC) system was developed for monitoring bridge deformations under load testing. Significant advantages of the new system compared with contact-instrument based systems include ... -
Ductile Behavior of Scoured RC Pile-Group Foundations for Bridges in Cohesionless Soils: Parametric Incremental Dynamic Analysis
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Scoured pile-group foundations (SPGFs) are susceptible to inelastic deformation during earthquakes. Hence, the ductile behavior of SPGFs has become a rising concern in academic and industrial communities. Traditionally, ... -
Comparison of Markovian-Based Bridge Deterioration Model Approaches
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Bridge management systems are a critical component in the toolbox of those who are responsible for maintaining a population of bridges. Deterioration models are generally incorporated in bridge management systems, but ... -
Bridge Damage Identification Using Rotation Measurement
(ASCE, 5/1/2023 1)This paper proposes a novel bridge damage identification methodology using simulated rotation measurements. To illustrate the concept, a numerical 1D beam model subject to a one-axle moving vehicle model is presented. ... -
Experimental Study of Posttensioned Precast Segmental CFDST Columns under Cyclic Loading
(ASCE, 4/1/2023 1)The conventional precast segmental concrete column may suffer severe damage in concrete segments and yield significant residual deformation when subjected to a strong earthquake. To achieve the goal of low-damage seismic ... -
Pile Group Effect Modeling and Parametric Sensitivity Analysis of Scoured Pile Group Bridge Foundations in Sandy Soils under Lateral Loads
(ASCE, 8/1/2023 1)Scour can increase the earthquake-induced damage in pile group foundations. Quantifying the parameter sensitivity of the seismic performance for scoured pile group foundations is essential for the optimal design and retrofit ... -
