Abstract: HL-93, the current bridge traffic load model used in the United States is examined here. Weigh-in-motion (WIM) data from 17 sites in 16 states containing 74 million truck records are used to assess the level of consistency ...

Abstract: AbstractAccurately assessing the response of sediments to oscillatory flows requires high-resolution fluid velocity and sediment transport measurements at the fluid?sediment interface. Fluid and sediment grain velocities ...

Abstract: easurements within the mobile bed layer have been limited by previous Eulerian-based technologies. A microelectromechanical system device, called a smart sediment grain (SSG), that can measure and record Lagrangian ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel bridge damage identification methodology using simulated rotation measurements. To illustrate the concept, a numerical 1D beam model subject to a one-axle moving vehicle model is presented. ...
