Strength and Behavior of Unconfined Noncontact Hooked Bar Lap Splices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Hooked bars are commonly used in lap splices to connect precast concrete elements to reduce required splice lengths; however, practically, no tests of large hooked bars in such elements have been conducted. To address this ... -
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 ... -
Soil–Structure Interaction Analysis of Transition Zone Deformations due to Imposed Abutment Displacement Cycles in an Integral Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are jointless bridge structures in which the bridge deck is cast monolithically with supporting piers and abutments. The absence of expansion joints and bearings eliminates maintenance costs ... -
Signal Separation of Simulated and Monitored Deflections Based on a Hybrid Bridge System Using the EEMD-GSA-LSSVM Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Bridge health monitoring (BHM) technology serves as an effective tool in obtaining the state information of bridges. However, due to the limited budgets for maintenance of short- and medium-span bridges, BHM cannot be ... -
Seismic Behavior of GFRP-RC Circular Bridge Columns under Eccentric Lateral Cyclic Loading: Influence of Transverse Reinforcement Ratio and Configuration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This study focused on evaluating the confinement requirements for glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns subjected to seismic forces, including torsional effects. ... -
Resilience Assessment of Shape Memory Alloy–Reinforced Concrete Coastal Bridges Subjected to Tsunami Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The consequences of natural hazards like tsunamis often lead to severe damage to coastal bridges, resulting in socioeconomic loss, delays in rescue operations, and even loss of human lives. It is therefore important to ... -
Recommendations for Active-Learning Kriging Reliability Analysis of Bridge Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Active-learning Kriging (AK) was developed as a surrogate-aided reliability technique to address the need for efficient reliability estimation when assessing complex limit states. The results of AK analyses are sensitive ... -
Probabilistic Time–Variant Functionality-Based Analysis of Transportation Networks Incorporating Asphalt Pavements and Bridges under Multiple Hazards
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Progressive and sudden deteriorations are the main reasons affecting the functionality of a transportation network. This paper presents a general probabilistic approach in which the ensembles of regression trees (ERT) are ... -
Probabilistic Identification Method of Cable Force Considering Uncertain and Missing Modal Frequencies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Vibration-based cable force identification has been widely applied in engineering practice. The order of modes is typically required in the identification, but it may not be always available, e.g., due to uncontrolled ... -
2D Aerodynamic Admittances of a Streamlined Box Bridge Deck in Various Turbulent Flows
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Due to the influence of the three-dimensional (3D) effect, the identification accuracy of 3D aerodynamic admittance functions (AAFs) would inevitably be influenced by the ratio of turbulent integral scale to model dimension ... -
