RISLifetime Highway Bridge Traffic Load Effect from a Combination of Traffic States Allowing for Dynamic Amplification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent research has shown that the dynamic amplification factor (DAF) to be applied to free-flowing traffic-induced load effect may not be as high as previously thought. Therefore, congested traffic states may govern extreme ...
Safety Assessment of the Antisliding between the Main Cable and Middle Saddle of a Three-Pylon Suspension Bridge Considering Traffic Load Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The antisliding safety of the middle saddle is a key issue for the design of three-pylon suspension bridges. Vehicle load is the main adverse effect, especially unsymmetrical vehicle load. A general mechanical model on the ...
Microsimulation Evaluation of Eurocode Load Model for American Long-Span Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ability to accurately predict traffic loading is essential for cost-effective bridge maintenance and repair programs. The traffic load model currently used in the United States for the design of long-span bridges was ...
Influence of Traffic Loading on the Seismic Reliability Assessment of Highway Bridge Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traditionally, the impacts of traffic and earthquake loading have been considered independently when assessing bridge reliability. This paper presents a framework for joint seismic and live-load fragility assessment of ...
Sensitivity of Value of Information to Model and Measurement Errors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The value of information (VoI) framework, based on Bayesian preposterior analysis, can be used to estimate the most likely benefit associated with a particular structural health monitoring (SHM) strategy. The errors within ...
