Abstract: An accurate correlation model between thermal loading and deformation is required for facilitating a reliable deformation-based condition evaluation in bridge service periods. In this paper, a general approach for modeling ...

Abstract: AbstractAccurate assessment of corrosion in concrete bridge decks is essential for ensuring structural safety and guiding long-term maintenance strategies. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR), as a widely adopted nondestructive ...

Abstract: AbstractThe failure risk of steel box girders gradually increases during service due to the accumulation of fatigue load effects and the deterioration of fatigue resistance. Reliability evaluation is an effective method ...

Abstract: AbstractThe utilization of intelligent damage detection techniques that rely on modal frequencies has resulted in remarkable progress in civil structural health monitoring (SHM). However, changing environments often induce ...

Abstract: Identifying the frequencies of practical bridges can help in understanding the bridge dynamic property. However, the vibration amplitude excited by wind load and traffic load is too small, resulting in a small signal noise ...

Abstract: It is important to understand the operational performance of bridge expansion joints in real time. This paper proposes a novel performance-alarming approach for bridge expansion joints using continuous temperature and ...

Abstract: Thermal actions have a great influence on the girder deflection variability of long-span cable-stayed bridges. The main objective of this study is to investigate the variability of the bridge girder deflection under thermal ...

Abstract: AbstractResponse prediction, which is an important part of structural dynamic analysis, plays a significant role in dynamic optimization and vibration control of structures. It ensures that the plan of structural reinforcement ...
