Abstract: This paper aims to summarize central findings from a literature review and technical survey on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) techniques for bridge inspection and damage quantification. This literature review includes a ...

Abstract: A dynamic message sign (DMS) is made up of a display, cabinet sheet aluminum skin, and internal structure along with electrical components. The aluminum skin is connected to the internal structure usually with a welded ...

Abstract: This paper investigated the influence of atypical agricultural vehicle parameters on girder distribution factors (GDFs) for two simply supported steel-concrete composite bridges located on secondary roads in the United ...

Abstract: The seismic behavior of horizontally curved steel bridges is more complex than straight bridges because of their curvature and other parameters. Studies that attempt to develop methods to efficiently predict their seismic ...

Abstract: The state-of-the art paper provides an extensive literature review on the work pertaining to structural health monitoring (SHM) systems used to investigate the structural integrity of highway bridges. The focus of this ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of agricultural live-loads on lateral load distribution characteristics of girder bridges on rural roadways in the United States. In this study, load distribution factors for bridges subjected ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a supplementary bridge damage quantification tool. For this study, a glued-laminated timber arch bridge in South Dakota was selected, ...

Abstract: This paper is intended to provide the state-of-the-art and of-the-practice on visual inspection, monitoring, and analysis of infrastructure using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Several researchers have inspected various ...
