Repair and Retrofit of RC Bridge Piers with Steel-Reinforced Grout Jackets: An Experimental Investigation
(ASCE, 2022/06/15)Many concrete bridges around the world have passed their service life and are at high risk of collapse, especially in active seismic regions. This is particularly true in many developing and underdeveloped countries, where ... -
A Framework for Identification of the Critical Members for Truss Bridges through Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis
(ASCE, 2022/05/30)This study proposes an integrated and easily applicable framework that considers the dynamic effect of sudden member loss to identify the critical members in steel truss bridges through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Numerical ... -
Vehicular Impact Resistance of FRP-Strengthened RC Bridge Pier
(ASCE, 2022/06/03)As-built bridge piers are likely to be subjected to vehicular collisions, causing severe damage to the bridge substructure and even resulting in the collapse of the entire bridge. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness ... -
Modal Analysis and Condition Evaluation of Substructures for Simply Supported High-Speed Railway Bridge Based on a Simplified Model
(ASCE, 2022/05/25)The condition of substructures in high-speed railway (HSR) bridges is crucial to the safety of the railway operation. However, research on the condition evaluation of substructures in HSR bridges is very limited. In this ... -
Structural Assessment of AASHTO Type II Prestressed Concrete Girder with GFRP or Stainless-Steel Shear Reinforcement
(ASCE, 2022/05/16)Concrete bridges in extremely aggressive environments deteriorate mainly from corrosion of carbon steel prestressing strands and rebars. In prestressed concrete girders, corrosion might occur in the transverse reinforcement, ... -
Numerical Investigation of Shape-Memory Alloy–Reinforced Bridge Columns Subjected to Lateral Impact Loads
(ASCE, 2022/06/08)This paper numerically investigates the dynamic behavior of bridge piers reinforced with shape-memory alloy (SMA) rebar when subjected to lateral impact loads. Performance of SMA reinforced pier is compared with column ... -
Reversed-Cyclic Response of Shear-Critical Rectangular Bridge Columns
(ASCE, 2022/05/30)The results of an experimental program comparing the responses of shear-critical rectangular columns tested under monotonic and reversed-cyclic loading are presented. These specimens had a constant compressive axial load ... -
Staggered-Supported Steel Anchor Box System for Cable-Stayed Bridges
(ASCE, 2022/05/11)This paper presents a novel anchorage structure for stay cables to reduce the load on the concrete pylon. Called the staggered-supported steel anchor box (SS-SAB), this anchorage structure provides self-balancing of the ... -
An Analytical Algorithm for Estimating the Deck’s Maximum Deflection and Deck-End Rotation Angle of a Suspension Bridge under Live Load
(ASCE, 2022/05/11)With the appearance of large-span and heavy-duty high-speed railway suspension bridges, their deck deflections and deck-end rotation angles (DERA) under the live load became very topical indicators of bridge safety and ... -
Static Response Assessment of the Entire Suspension Bridge under Horizontal Transverse Live Load: An Analytical Calculation Method
(ASCE, 2022/05/06)Long-span suspension bridge is a flexible structure. When subjected to a horizontal transverse live load, its deck undergoes significant transverse bending deformation, jeopardizing traffic safety. This paper proposes an ... -
Addition of Partial-Depth Link Slabs to Bridge Structures: Role of Support Conditions
(ASCE, 2022/04/27)Due to the maintenance and repair needs that commonly originate from expansion joints, link slabs are considered as a potential solution to move toward jointless bridges. The addition of partial-depth link slabs to existing ... -
