Abstract: AbstractThe present study presents local-scale urban energy balance observations under various sky conditions in a humid subtropical region. The study site is a typical urban residential area in Guangzhou in which building ...

Abstract: Using the flat steel-box girder of China’s Sutong Cable-stayed Bridge as a research object, its temperature field is long-term monitored and analyzed based on bridge’s structural health monitoring system. The temperature ...

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: Configuration transformation is an important issue during the construction stage of spatial suspension bridges with three-dimensional (3D) curved cables. Without fully considering this issue, the hangers could rub or ...

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 ...
