Abstract: Through modern nondestructive inspection (NDI) techniques, fatigue cracks can be detected with varying accuracies in steel bridge structures, and consequently assessment and updating of fatigue reliability can be performed. ...

Abstract: Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced cementitious (UHPFRC) and composite reinforcement techniques have great potential in achieving efficient structural resistance recovery and overall performance enhancement. The goal ...

Abstract: Cold reinforcement techniques refer to reinforcement methods that produce no or only low tensile residual stresses in structural details, avoiding new fatigue vulnerable details. To ensure the fatigue safety and extend the ...

Abstract: This work aims to combine the effects of the near-wall and core flow disturbance by proposing novel wing-shaped turbulators. The new turbulators are fabricated with the fused deposition modeling (3D printing) technology. ...
