Abstract: Following major hazards and incidents, it is crucial to mitigate the congestion at intersections of urban traffic systems with disruptions; maximize the evacuation, rescue, and recovery efficiency; and prevent a hazard ...

Abstract: Long-span bridges support busy traffic and experience considerable wind loads on the bridge decks nearly every day. In addition to these two major service loads, some extreme loads such as earthquake, vehicle collision, ...

Abstract: Cable loss is a critical extreme event for cable-supported bridges, which sometimes governs the bridge design. Like most extreme events possibly occurring on long-span bridges, cable loss (breakage) may happen with service ...

Abstract: Future sustained economic growth of the nation very much depends on the reliability and efficiency of its highway infrastructure system. Some vehicles, such as trucks, emergency vehicles, and sport utility vehicles, often ...

Abstract: Although long-span bridges are usually designed with sufficient structural redundancy, particular concerns arise about the abrupt breakage of bridge cables, which may cause progressive failure such as zipper-like collapse. ...

Abstract: Evacuation can be the most necessary and effective method to save human lives in emergency scenarios due to natural or human-caused disasters. The emergency egress behavior of humans is not only affected by damage caused ...

Abstract: Different from short-span girder bridges, long-span bridges support a large amount of traffic, which significantly influences the dynamic performance of the bridge. The design live load on long-span bridges has seldom been ...
