(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper describes a study on identifying vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of the Osman Gazi Bridge tower during construction and in-service conditions and its control strategy using an active mass damper. In the wind ... -
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 ... -
Fatigue Behavior under Rolling Load of a Full-Scale Bridge Deck with a Steel-Reinforced Section
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Fatigue tests were performed on a full-scale deck slab (15,240 × 3,890 × 210 mm) supported by steel girders spaced at 3.05 m using a rolling load simulator for up to 6 million equivalent cycles under two half axle moving ... -
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 ... -
Extended Monitoring of Earth Pressures Behind a 90 m Integral Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Despite the popularity of integral bridges, long-term field data are required to better understand the soil strain ratcheting behavior that occurs with thermal cycles. This work presents over 6 years of field data collected ... -
Experimental Investigation on Failure Mechanism and Hysteresis Behavior of RC Single- and Double-Column Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Reinforced concrete (RC) single-column piers (SCPs) and double-column piers (DCPs) are widely used in highway girder bridges. However, the seismic behavior of conventional RC DCPs has not received sufficient attention. ... -
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 ... -
Experimental and Analytical Investigation of Shear Behavior and Strength of Haunched Beams Reinforced with Basalt Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Rebars
