Fatigue Evaluation of Bridges Based on Strain Influence Line Loaded by Elaborate Stochastic Traffic Flow
(ASCE, 2022/07/15)Stochastic traffic flow, as a type of repeated load, can cause serious high-cycle fatigue damage to bridges. In addition, the rough simulation of stochastic traffic flow and inappropriate analysis method of fatigue stresses ... -
Potential Improvement in Rating Factors of Concrete T-Beam Bridges through Refined Analysis: Evaluation of Distribution Factors
(ASCE, 2022/07/15)This study explores the use of refined analysis methods to potentially increase load ratings of concrete T-beam bridges by obtaining a decrease in live-load distribution factors. The studied T-beam bridges are vulnerable ... -
Performance Alarming for Stay Cables Based on a Frequency–Deformation Relationship Model
(ASCE, 2022/07/12)Stay cables are vital load-bearing components of cable-stayed bridges that are prone to corrosion and fatigue. Damaged or deteriorated cables can endanger the safety of bridges. In this paper, a performance alarming method ... -
Enhanced Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System Using Hybrid Strain–Acceleration Sensor Data
(ASCE, 2022/07/07)In this study, a novel acceleration-based vehicle identification method is employed within a hybrid bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) system in which the traditional strain-based BWIM system is augmented with an array of ... -
Evaluating OMA System Identification Techniques for Drive-by Health Monitoring on Short Span Bridges
(ASCE, 2022/07/12)Drive-by health monitoring (DBHM) is an indirect structural health monitoring (SHM) strategy developed to reduce costs associated with traditional SHM systems on a variety of bridge structures. Experimental studies have ... -
Behavior and Analysis of Simply Supported Bridges under Vessel Side Collisions: Implications from Collapse of the Taiyangbu Bridge
(ASCE, 2022/07/07)On July 7, 2020, the Taiyangbu Bridge crossing the Changjiang River was hit by a barge loaded with sand, resulting in the collapse of the main span. Such side collisions are seldomly investigated in previous studies. To ... -
Fragility Analysis of Helical Piles Supporting Bridge in Different Ground Conditions
(ASCE, 2022/06/22)This paper examines the seismic performance of a bridge–helical pile foundation based on the seismic fragility analysis, considering the element fragility of a coupled bridge–soil–foundation system. Nonlinear time history ... -
Postearthquake Vertical Load-Carrying Capacity of Extended Pile Shafts in Cohesionless Soils: Quasi-Static Test and Parametric Studies
(ASCE, 2022/06/15)The belowground portion of extended pile-shaft-supported bridges is usually prone to earthquake-induced damage during earthquake shakings. The unobservable pile damage below the ground surface makes it difficult and ... -
High-Dimensional Model Approach for Stochastic Response of Multispan Box Girder Bridges
(ASCE, 2022/06/22)Seismic safety assessment of reinforced concrete box girder bridges has received considerable attention as they are increasingly popular in modern highway systems. However, the detailed seismic assessment of box girder ... -
Repairing Post-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders with Frost-Heaving Damage
(ASCE, 2022/06/15)This case study proposed and evaluated an approach to repair post-tensioned prestressed concrete bridge girders in cold regions. The girders had severe frost-heaving cracks and unhardened cementitious grout in the prestressing ... -
Model Verification and Validation of a Cable-Stayed Bridge: Interval-Based Uncertainty Quantification of the Model Parameters
(ASCE, 2022/06/10)In simulating engineering structures, the uncertainty quantification and propagation (UQ&P) of model parameters is of paramount importance for model verification and validation (V&V), the fidelity of which has been ... -
Scaled Model Test for Efficient Arrangement of Steel Reinforcement in Bridge Pier Caps
(ASCE, 2022/06/22)Because variations associated with the strut-and-tie model (STM) in the design of pier caps could lead to over-reinforcement of steel rebars, special attention should be paid to using STMs for reasonable rebar arrangements. ... -
Flexural Behavior and Ultimate Capacity of Adjacent Box Girders with Expansion Joint in the Parapet
(ASCE, 2022/06/15)The incorporation of expansion joints in the parapet wall of bridge girders is standard practice to account for factors such as temperature differentials, shrinkage, and settlement. Gaining an understanding of the influence ... -
Damage Analysis of Concrete Open-Spandrel Deck Arch Bridges under Seismic Loads
