Abstract: In this paper, a methodology for quantifying lifetime risk of bridge superstructures is presented. The risk is quantified in terms of the expected direct and indirect losses. A scenario-based approach, which uses the

Abstract: A suite of laboratory testing was performed on Gosford sandstone samples having a range of sizes, including point-load and uniaxial compressive tests. A unified size-effect law (USEL), based on the work by Zdenek Bazant, ...

Abstract: Planning retrofit actions on bridge networks under tight budget constraints is a challenging process. Because of the uncertainties associated with this process, a probabilistic approach is necessary. In this paper, a ...
