RISCase Study: Evaluation of a Floating Steel Fender System for Bridge Pier Protection against Vessel Collision
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evaluation of a New FRP Fender System for Bridge Pier Protection against Vessel Collision
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Physical protection systems typically are used to reduce vessel impact loads to nondestructive levels or redirect vessels away from bridge piers. An efficient physical protection system is critical for the safe operation ...
Investigation of Cracks Observed in Underwater Bridge Seal Structures and Crack Control by Means of Material Design
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A large number of cracks were observed in a bridge seal structure during an underwater inspection. The seal is 13.2 m long, 5.9 m wide, and 6.8 m deep and thus is considered mass concrete. The concrete mixture contains ...
Optimal Strategies for Locally Owned Bridges: Quantifying Payoffs in Repeated Games to Address Performance Deficiencies and Prevent Defection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the interactions between state transportation agencies and
local government bridge owners using a game theory–based framework. The framework
includes a game involving two players with ...
Forensic Investigation of Pavement: Practices in North America and a Pilot Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: State agencies/provinces and civil engineers must remain current in forensic pavement investigation procedures and inspection technologies to efficiently maintain public roads. Preliminary pavement investigation procedures ...
Forensic Investigation of Distresses Found in Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) is commonly used in roadway construction as an economical choice when distributed steel reinforcement is not necessary. The performance of JPCP depends on the joint load transfer ...
Parameterized Fragility Assessment of Bridges Subjected to Hurricane Events Using Metamodels and Multiple Environmental Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A vulnerability assessment of bridges subjected to hurricane events is beneficial to policy makers prioritizing their critical assets for inspection, maintenance, and retrofit. The proposed parameterized fragility assessment ...
Forensic Investigation of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements in Fair and Poor Condition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) sections contain longitudinal and transverse reinforcement that spans the entire pavement section. This paper presents the investigation result of two CRCP sections that ...
Investigation of Cracks Observed on a Skewed Bridge Constructed Using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates full-depth deck cracks observed on a skewed bridge, which was constructed using self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs). To investigate the causes, three main factors associated with structural ...
Novel Prioritization Mechanism to Enhance Long-Term Performance Predictions for Bridge Asset Management
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Current strategies for prioritizing bridge preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement (MRR) include predicting future conditions by delineating depreciation rates from existing conditions and preventive MRR ...
