Abstract: A study of scattering characteristics of S0 and A0 Lamb modes in an infinite isotropic plate with multiple damage is presented in this paper. Both plate theory and the wave function expansion ...

Abstract: The application of prestress is a very effective way to prevent the cracking of the concrete slab in the negative-moment region of continuous composite girders, and using a prefabricated prestressed-concrete slab in this ...

Abstract: Prestressed steel-concrete composite girders constructed by postconnection have gained increasing attention in bridge engineering in recent years. By prestressing the concrete slabs before connecting them with the steel ...

Abstract: Clustering stud shear connectors with a narrow spacing to form the group studs is useful for concrete slab prefabrication in steel-concrete composite bridges; however, the group studs fatigue design has not been specified ...

Abstract: The orthotropic steel–concrete composite deck, which consists of a concrete slab, an orthotropic steel plate, and shear connectors, has been applied for ameliorating the vehicle-induced fatigue damage on steel bridge decks. ...

Abstract: AbstractStructural damage identification based on sensitivity analysis can be modeled as a sparse recovery problem, with the original formulation being an l0-norm regularization model. However, this original model is NP-hard ...
