Effect of Temporary Barriers on the Vortex-Induced Vibration Performance of a Long-Span Bridge during Maintenance Periods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract During maintenance of an in-service long-span bridge, temporary barriers (TBs) are often employed on the deck for construction isolation, which will change the aerodynamic profile of the bridge girder and potentially ... -
Study on Cross-Sectional Performance of Steel Shell–Concrete Composite Pylons
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Excessive steel content or concrete strength in the steel shell–concrete composite pylon (SSCCP) section can lead to unnecessary economic losses. To optimize the design of the SSCCP section, hysteretic tests were ... -
Experimental and Theoretical Research on Bending Performances of a New UHPC–Steel–Concrete Composite Section
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract This study centers on the Binzhou no. 4 Bridge and proposes an innovative steel-ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) composite joint, serving as a pivotal component of multilong-span continuous hybrid girder ... -
Experimental Investigation and Level Classification on the Postearthquake Vertical Load-Carrying Capacity of RC Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract This study aims to reveal the failure mechanism and performance law of the vertical mechanical performance of earthquake-induced cumulative damaged RC columns and quantify the vertical load-carrying capacity (VLCC) ... -
Tests and Analyses of Nonorthogonal Hollow Joints in Cable-Stayed Bridges under Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Cable-stayed bridges usually employ diamond-shaped or Y-shaped RC towers. Different from classical solid RC beam–column joints, nonorthogonal hollow joints (NOHJs) may deliver unique damage features under transverse ... -
Analytical Assessment of the Effects of Multicategory Errors on the Completed State of a Suspension Bridge: Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis and FEM Validation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Starting from bridge design to the construction stage, accumulation of multiple errors related to manufacturing, installation, material properties, and other factors results in deviations between the actual completed ... -
Study on Local Buckling of Steel Shell–Concrete Composite Pylons
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract To optimize the arrangement of stiffeners and studs in a steel shell–concrete composite pylon (SSCCP), three types of steel shell stability specimens are designed in this study. The critical buckling strain and ... -
Panoramic Vision–Driven Deep Learning Framework for Structural Inspection and Condition Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Traditional structural inspection methods, while effective, often fall short in terms of efficiency, coverage, and consistency, thereby highlighting the need for innovative approaches. This paper presents a novel ... -
Precast Concrete End Diaphragm System for Accelerated Bridge Construction in Seismic-Prone Regions: Constructability and Lateral Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract To reduce the impacts of on-site construction work on bridges, accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has been gaining popularity. However, it imposes additional challenges on projects in earthquake-prone areas ... -
Identifying Critical Category Combinations of Bridge Cables at Risk of Internal Resonances Using Data Mining Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Fan-shaped cable nets in cable-stayed bridges (CSBs) exhibit a dense spectrum of local frequencies, some of which inevitably lie close to global frequencies. This proximity increases the risk of internal resonances ... -
Seismic Fragility Analysis for Steel Staggered Truss Framing Structure Based on L-Moments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractSeismic fragility analysis of steel staggered truss framing (SSTF) structures is carried out in this study. Instead of artificially assuming certain distributions for seismic demand and capacity models as in general ... -
Axial Load–Moment Interaction Diagram of Fibrous SCC Bridge Compression Members Reinforced with GFRP Bars and Spirals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract While the bridge design codes and standards provide provisions for designing concrete bridge members reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, the axial–flexural behavior of fibrous self-consolidating ... -
Hybrid Energy Harvesting from Natural Wind and Traffic-Induced Bridge Vibrations
