Abstract: Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs), with their unique material and structural properties, offer many advantages over conventional structural materials such as concrete and steel. However, their brittle failure mechanisms at ...

Abstract: AbstractDue to the scarcity of existing research on scour resilience, it is challenging to quantify the long-term resilience of bridge pile foundations under scour conditions. In this paper, a quantitative framework to ...

Abstract: Traffic monitoring, particularly on the gross vehicle weight (GVW) and axle weights (AWs) of heavy trucks, provides valuable information for the design and performance evaluation of bridges. Bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) ...

Abstract: The connection, or interface, between the bridge superstructure and substructure is a key component in a bridge system for resisting hurricane-induced storm surges and wave forces. The performance of the connection can ...

Abstract: Wind tunnel tests were conducted to investigate the wind pressure characteristics of sawtooth roofs in a simulated open country wind field with relatively low turbulence intensity. Models of monosloped and sawtooth roof ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to present a new approach for determining the truck weight limit of simply supported steel girder bridges. This approach is based on the fatigue reliability of bridge girders under the action ...

Abstract: Abstract The impact effect of bridges under moving vehicle loads is one of the important and difficult problems in bridge engineering. In the past few decades, researchers in the field of bridge engineering have mostly ...
