Abstract: In 1999 and 2000, the two vibration incidents at the Paris Passerelle Solferino Bridge and the London Millennium Bridge triggered a major revision of existing knowledge concerning footbridge response to pedestrian-induced ...

Abstract: The risk of large-amplitude vibrations of bridge hangers due to galloping instabilities has posed a challenge to the engineering and research communities. Galloping vibrations can lead to serviceability problems and reduce ...

Abstract: Galloping vibrations have been identified as potentially problematic for dry stay cables. Three key issues play a major role in the assessment of the structural damping required to prevent galloping of dry stay cables using ...

Abstract: The investigation of inhomogeneous materials under dynamic conditions presents several challenges, particularly with regard to testing the dynamic properties of concrete, which requires the use of a large-scale split-Hopkinson ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents an integrated experimental–analytical framework for a novel bio-based composite member composed of a Moso bamboo culm with an adhesively bonded, flanged timber plug. A capacity-based design ...

Abstract: This paper presents a pilot study on the characterization of the physical and mechanical properties of a novel green concrete with two different substituted recycled plastic aggregates. A reference mix with an average ...

Abstract: AbstractAccurate characterization of mean wind profiles is essential for optimizing the design of structures and operation of wind energy systems. This study presents a novel approach for the identification of mean logarithmic ...

Abstract: The physical and mechanical characteristics of a novel mortar that uses recycled PET powder as a replacement for natural sand are examined in this paper. This study specifically looks at the impacts of replacing recycled ...
