Abstract: Concrete hinges are a robust structural concept attributed to Eugène Freyssinet and further developed by Fritz Leonhardt and others. Leonhardt and coworkers also developed simple analysis models that are still used today. ...

Abstract: Stonecutters Bridge is the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world and the first major bridge with a twin-box girder superstructure. It has a number of innovative structural features which made the construction of ...

Abstract: In numerical simulations of engineering structures, several physical phenomena are represented by partial models, and the selection of the important partial models is usually based on engineering judgment. The quantitative ...

Abstract: Advancements in machine learning and an abundance of structural monitoring data have inspired the integration of mechanical models with probabilistic models to identify a structure’s state and quantify the uncertainty of ...

Abstract: Vibration measurements are an established method for determining the tension force of stay cables. Whereas stay cables are structural members exhibiting significant geometrical nonlinearities, their behavior can be linearized ...

Abstract: Wind effects can be critical for the design of lifelines, such as long-span bridges. The existence of a significant number of aerodynamic force models, used to assess the performance of bridges, poses an important question ...
