Numerical Simulations of Abutment PRB Structures with Post-Tensioned Unbonded Prestressing Tendons for Highway Bridges under Horizontal Seismic Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Traditional sacrificial concrete retaining blocks (CRBs) play a significant role in reducing the excessive transverse displacements of bridge superstructures and protecting the substructures from severe damage during seismic ... -
Real-Time Bridge Deflection Prediction Based on a Novel Bayesian Dynamic Difference Model and Nonstationary Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Accurate deflection prediction of in-service bridges can be used to assess the overall structural stiffness and detect abnormal states in advance. The bridge structures, especially long-span bridges, experience varying ... -
Nonlinear Finite-Element Modeling of Concrete Bridge Girders Prestressed with Carbon Fiber–Reinforced Polymers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Concrete beams (girders) prestressed with steel cables are widely used in highway bridges. The prestressed steel cables are prone to area loss due to corrosion. The high stress level and deteriorated bond due to corrosion ... -
Influence of Embedment on Seismic Pile Group Response: Experimental and Numerical Investigations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)During seismic ground shaking, the motion of a soil–pile system is different from that of the free field due to seismic soil–structure interaction (SSI). Kinematic soil–pile interaction is known to cause significant filtering ... -
Assessing Highway Bridge Chloride Exposure at a Provincial Scale: Mapping and Projecting Impacts of Climate Change
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This study addresses the absence of a provincial scale database on chloride exposure for bridges, which specifically focuses on Ontario, Canada. Considering the region-based climate and traffic characteristics, a comprehensive ... -
Static Push-Out Tests on 29 mm Diameter Shear Studs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Composite steel bridges in the United Sates are typically constructed using 22 mm-diameter (7/8 in.-diameter) shear studs. The number of shear studs on a girder can be significantly reduced by using larger-diameter studs. ... -
Fragility Evaluation of Bridge Pile Foundation Considering Scour Development under Floods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Flooding occurrences have become increasingly severe, posing a serious danger to end-user safety and bridge resilience. As flood fragility assessment is a valuable tool for promoting the resilience of bridges to climate ... -
Modified Method for Accurate Evaluation of Overturning Limit on Restrainer-Reinforced Single-Column Pier Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Single-column bridges are widely used for urban overpasses and highway bridges. Rising overturning incidents have exposed the vulnerability of this type of bridge, which is inherently susceptible to overturning collapse. ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study on the Seismic Performance of Self-Centering Isolated Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)A self-centering isolated pier (SIP) with an elliptical rocking interface is proposed to enhance the seismic performance of bridge piers. Pseudostatic tests were conducted on two SIPs (one with and the other without tie ... -
A WIM-Based Assessment of Multiple Vehicle Presence Effects on Fatigue Damage of Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The fatigue provisions for bridge design in North America and Europe are highly simplified for the sake of practical implementation, in comparison with the state of the art in understanding of the true fatigue behavior. ... -
UHPC Connection Details for Simple for Dead Load and Continuous for Live Load Steel Bridges in Nonseismic Areas

Experimental Research on Residual Clamping Force of Friction High-Strength Bolt after Corrosion Loss Simulated by Wire Cutting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Clamping force is crucial for resisting slip loads in friction-type high-strength bolted (FHSB) connections, and following corrosion, it diminishes due to sectional reduction of the nuts and/or bolt heads. Evaluating ... -
