Abstract: Adaptive reliability analysis methods based on surrogate models, especially kriging, have been successfully implemented in many problems. However, the application of kriging is limited to low-dimensional problems with ...

Abstract: A double-cable system has wide application prospects in multispan suspension bridges. Longitudinal restraint stiffness of a double-cable system to the tower was studied in this paper. Two formulas were derived to calculate ...

Abstract: Aiming to address anchoring challenges associated with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons used as cables, this study introduces a three-segment structure CFRP-bonded anchorage and conducts tests. Building upon ...

Abstract: Chloride penetration initiates the corrosion of the steel reinforcement and causes the deterioration of an RC bridge in a marine area. This study focuses on the probabilistic models in the chloride penetration process for ...

Abstract: The SuTong cable-stayed bridge is the Primary Fairway Bridge of the Suzhou-Nantong Yangtze River Bridge Project. It will be the most important project with significant target to diminish the economy gap and promote balanced ...

Abstract: Inspired by the structural system and the construction technique of self-anchored suspension bridges and earth-anchored suspension bridges, a new type of suspension bridge, named hybrid anchored suspension bridge, was ...
