Deflection Verification Coefficient Estimation of a Reinforced Concrete Hollow-Slab Bridge Based on the Technical Condition Index
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Because of overloading, damage accumulation, and inadequate maintenance, many early RC hollow-slab bridges are experiencing a decline in a technical condition, with some even facing insufficient load-bearing ... -
In-Depth Investigation of Web Corrosion’s Influence on Bearing and Shear Capacity in Steel Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Corrosion at steel girder ends is caused by deicing salts, water, and other environmental debris, leading to a loss of cross-sectional area and a reduction in structural resistance against shear and bearing. This ... -
Evaluation of Modal Contributions to Transverse Seismic Responses of Diamond-Shaped Pylon: Experimental and Numerical Analyses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The adoption of diamond-shaped pylons has gained widespread popularity in engineering applications, such as the Husutong Yangtze River Bridge and Tatara Bridge, owing to their cost-effectiveness, appealing aesthetics, ... -
Assessing Typhoon Extreme Wind Speed with Long-Term Future Sea Surface Temperature Projections under CMIP6
