Buffeting-Induced Fatigue Damage Assessment of a Long-Span Bridge under a Changing Climate Scenario
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)With the continuous increase of bridge spans, wind-induced vibrations will pose serious problems to structural integrity and serviceability. Among the many vibration sources of long-span bridges, buffeting, which results ... -
Bridge Maintenance Management Based on Routine Inspection Data: A Quantitative Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Mainstream bridge management systems use Markov chains of bridge condition ratings (CRs) to simulate temporal bridge health degradations and apply Markov decision processes to find optimal repair schemes. However, CR-based ... -
Bespoke Footbridge for Studying Pedestrian–Structure Interaction with Vertical Vibration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Progress in quantifying and codifying pedestrian–structure interaction with a vertical structural vibration and the effects on both human beings and structures has been slow, primarily owing to a lack of experimental ... -
Bending-Induced Stresses in Parallel Seven-Wire Strand Stay Cables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The bundled parallel strand stay cables are important structural components of modern cable-stayed bridges. Strands commonly used in modern stay cables are seven-wire greased-and-sheathed strands. Stay cables primarily ... -
Bending Stiffness Identification of Continuous Girder Bridges Using Multiple Rotation Influence Lines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Bridge bending stiffness, related to bridge material and geometric properties, is considered an important indicator of bridge performance. Accurately identifying bridge bending stiffness is essential for evaluating the ... -
Bayesian Updating of Nonlinear Constitutive Models for Steel–Concrete Composite Girder Bridges Using Large-Scale Load Test Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Establishing an accurate finite-element (FE) model that faithfully replicates the nonlinear behavior of steel–concrete composite girder bridges is crucially important for effective model-based structural health monitoring ... -
Automated Girder Rotation Assessment of High-Speed Railway Bridges for Operation Safety
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Girder rotation at the bridge support or girder end is a key deformation indicator that reflects the high-speed railway (HSR) bridge stiffness. Large rotation deformation at these locations leads to train derailment risks, ... -
Wind–Temperature Characteristics of a Cable-Stayed Bridge along the Yellow Sea under Superstrong Typhoon Lekima
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The superstrong typhoon Lekima landed twice along the Yellow Sea of China in 2019; its wind characteristics and impact on bridges’ buffeting performance are still unclear. Based on the measured wind and temperature data ... -
