Abstract: Several full-scale load tests were performed on a selected Florida highway bridge. The bridge was dynamically excited by two fully loaded trucks, and the strain, acceleration, and displacement at selected points were ...

Abstract: In this paper a novel model predictive control (MPC) approach is proposed based on mixed-

Abstract: The paper presents an experimental study of the actual dynamic effects for a preselected typical highway bridge. Knowledge of the dynamic impact factors is important for accurate determination of the ultimate load capacity ...

Abstract: In bonded steel–wood composite members, the adhesion between the adhesive and the steel surface is insufficient, thereby affecting the overall shear strength of the composite specimen. This paper proposes creating strip ...
