RISBridge Damage, Repair Costs, and Fragilities for Inland Flood Events
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flood events bring havoc to transportation assets including bridges, culverts, and roadways on an annual basis. This has been an increasing trend in the recent years, especially in Midwestern states. Millions of dollars ...
Investigation of Transmission Tower System Performance under Wind Directionality Effects Using Large-Scale Aeroelastic Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractPower transmission line systems—comprising towers, conductors, ground wires, and insulators—are
essential for electricity transmission. Wind forces vary significantly based on their
angle of attack relative to these ...
Seismic Resilience of Transportation Networks with Deteriorating Components
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Performance assessment of a transportation network is naturally a complicated problem. This is mainly due to the fact that such a spatially distributed network is subjected to a variety of natural hazards and environmental ...
Assessment of Postearthquake Losses in a Network of Aging Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current study approaches the issue of deteriorating civil infrastructure components in a systematic manner through microscale, mesoscale, and macroscale investigations. At the microscale, the integrity of individual ...
Estimation of Corrosion Initiation Time in Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns: How to Incorporate Spatial and Temporal Uncertainties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deterioration of reinforced concrete structures has been a subject of interest for the researchers, practicing engineers, and decision makers who work on the reliability assessment and safety evaluation of civil infrastructure ...
Synergy-Based Gaussian Process Estimation of Ankle Angle and Torque: Conceptualization for High Level Controlling of Active Robotic Foot Prostheses/Orthoses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Human gait is the result of a complex and fascinating cooperation between different joints and segments in the lower extremity. This study aims at investigating the existence of this cooperation or the so-called synergy ...
Semianalytical Solution for Buckling Analysis of Variable Thickness Two-Directional Functionally Graded Circular Plates with Nonuniform Elastic Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the current study, a semianalytical closed-form solution is presented for the first time for buckling analysis of two-directional, functionally graded (FG) circular plates with variable thickness supported by both ...
Oscillation of C60 Fullerene in Carbon Nanotube Bundles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper aims to present a thorough investigation into the mechanics of a C60 fullerene oscillating within the center of a carbon nanotube bundle. To model this nanoscale oscillator, a continuum approximation is used ...
Reliability-Based Calibration of Load and Resistance Factors for Design of RC Bridges under Multiple Extreme Events: Scour and Earthquake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A multihazard reliability-based framework is developed through this study to evaluate the structural response of RC bridges under the combined effects of pier scour and earthquake events. This framework is used to calibrate ...
Performance Evaluation of Deteriorating Highway Bridges Located in High Seismic Areas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the life-cycle performance and cost of reinforced concrete highway bridges subjected to earthquake ground motions while they are continuously exposed to the attack of chloride ions. The penetration of ...
