Strengthening of Steel Connections in a 92-Year-Old Railway Bridge Using Prestressed CFRP Rods: Multiaxial Fatigue Design Criterion
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)This paper presented a new retrofit system for strengthening the stringer-to-floor-beam double-angle connections in a 92-year-old riveted railway bridge in Switzerland, using prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer ... -
Seismically Resilient Hybrid Precast Concrete Piers with Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)This paper investigated a novel hybrid precast pier system that utilized ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC). The pier combines features of emulative and nonemulative (of cast-in-place construction) systems to balance ... -
Life-Cycle Performance Assessment of Aging Bridges Subjected to Tsunami Hazards
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Coastal reinforced concrete (RC) bridges have the potential to be subjected to tsunami hazards within their service life. On the other hand, the time-dependent chloride-induced corrosion will degrade the performance of the ... -
SHM-Oriented Hybrid Modeling for Stress Analysis of Steel Girder Bridge
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Stress monitoring is always a challenging task in bridge structural health monitoring (SHM) since the measured pointwise stress is not enough for fully reflecting structural conditions. Therefore, a novel hybrid modeling ... -
Bridge Damage Detection in Presence of Varying Temperature Using Two-Step Neural Network Approach
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)The dynamic properties of bridges can be affected not only through damage but also from ambient uncertainty. False-positive or negative alarms may be raised if environmental effects are not considered in the detection ... -
Eeklo Footbridge: Benchmark Dataset on Pedestrian-Induced Vibrations
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Vibration serviceability under crowd-induced loading has become a key design criterion for footbridges. Although increased research efforts are put into the characterization of crowd-induced loading, including related ... -
Modular Joint for the Accelerated Fabrication and Erection of Steel Bridges
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)This paper introduces a new strategy for the accelerated fabrication and erection of steel bridges: a modular joint. The modular joint is a prefabricated, nodal connector composed of a weldment/built-up section of webs and ... -
Aero-structural Optimization of Streamlined Twin-Box Deck Bridges with Short Gap Considering Flutter
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Shape and size design of twin-box decks involves managing a number of highly sensitive deck features, including aerodynamic, stiffness, and mass properties, which leads to important and complex changes in the aeroelastic ... -
Side-Surface Openings Effect on Aerodynamic Performance of Box Girders in Tandem
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)A butterfly web girder is a box girder that has discretely distributed side-surface openings. Due to these openings, butterfly web girders show better aerodynamic performance than conventional box girders. This study aims ... -
Lateral Cyclic Response of RC Bridge Piers Made of Recycled Concrete: Experimental Study
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Using recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) in construction reduces the negative environmental impacts that are associated with new concrete production. However, few studies have investigated the structural performance of bridge ... -
Dual Resonator-Type Electromagnetic Energy Harvester for Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)A dual resonator with electromagnetic transduction was developed to harvest bridge vibration energy at low acceleration and low frequency. The harvester had two cantilever beams: one to carry magnets and the other to carry ... -
Circular Shear Pocket Connection for Full-Depth Precast Concrete Deck Construction
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Full-depth precast concrete deck systems have several advantages compared with cast-in-place concrete deck systems in bridge construction, such as improved construction quality and safety, reduced construction duration and ... -
Site-Specific Extreme Load Estimation of a Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)To provide benefit for design, rating, evaluation and management of signature bridges, site-specific extreme wind speeds, structural temperatures, and traffic load effects of a long-span cable-stayed bridge were estimated ... -
Adjacent Concrete Box Girders Transversely Post-Tensioned at Top Flanges Only: Experimental Investigation
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)In this study, a new transverse post-tensioning (TPT) technique for box girder bridges is investigated, where TPT is applied at the top flange of the girder resulting in eliminating the intermediate transverse diaphragms. ... -
Blast Response and Damage Mechanism of Prefabricated Segmental RC Bridge Piers
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Public transportation is vulnerable to terrorist attacks due to its accessibility, especially bridges in the highway and urban systems under blast loading. Prefabricated segmental reinforced concrete (PSRC) piers are one ... -
