Pounding Analysis of Isolated Girder Bridge under Nonpulse and Pulse-Like Earthquakes
(ASCE, 2020)Pounding damages are frequently encountered in concrete continuous girder bridges during strong earthquakes. In the evaluation of pounding responses, the simplified lumped mass model with the contact element are usually ... -
Nonlinear Dynamic Response and Assessment of Bridges under Barge Impact with Scour Depth Effects
(ASCE, 2020)The lateral impact of barges is a vital load case for river-crossing bridges. In addition, flood-induced scour has been recognized as a leading cause of bridge failure. However, current bridge performance assessment often ... -
Assessment of Risk Potential due to Underground Box Structure Installation Employing ANN Model and Field Experimental Approaches
(ASCE, 2020)Construction of underground box structures that underpass existing infrastructures or facilities at shallow depths is being widely conducted in urban areas in order to avoid the interference of existing structures without ... -
Performance Assessment of Unbonded Concrete Overlays of Concrete Pavements in Ohio: A Forensic Practice
(ASCE, 2020)Unbonded concrete overlay (UBCO) is a widely used rehabilitation technique for deteriorated pavements, which is accomplished by placing concrete overlay on top of existing pavement with a sandwiched bond breaker layer ... -
Prioritization Framework for Asset Management of New Brunswick’s Covered Bridges
(ASCE, 2020)Heritage bridges, such as covered bridges, provide a connection to a past time and engineering methods, and form part of the architectural landscape. Accordingly, quality examples of heritage bridges should be maintained ... -
Evaluation of Existing Damage Patterns and Seismic Assessment of Historical Davutpasa Barracks via Operational-Modal Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)The seismic assessment of heritage buildings has great importance in terms of preservation and sustainability due to their priceless inheritance. In general, the material properties used in the construction of heritage ... -
Digital Reconnaissance and Performance Assessment of Rural Infrastructure for 2018 Natural Hazards
(ASCE, 2020)The goal of this investigation is to assess the performance of rural structures in natural hazard events in 2018. Digital reconnaissance was implemented to retrieve data on damage-inflicting events, where collected data ... -
Quantitative Resistance Assessment of SFRP-Strengthened RC Bridge Columns Subjected to Blast Loads
(ASCE, 2020)The blast resistance of a typical reinforced concrete bridge pier column design was modeled with a nonlinear finite element approach that considers material damage, fracture, and separation. While varying concrete strength, ... -
Finite Element Assessment of the ASR-Affected Paulo Afonso IV Dam
(ASCE, 2020)Various numerical models have been developed to appraise alkali-silica reaction (ASR) induced expansion and to predict its potential to generate further damage. A previous work proposed a finite element approach that does ... -
Structural Failure Evaluation of a Substandard RC Building due to Basement Story Short-Column Damage
(ASCE, 2020)A vast majority of existing substandard reinforced concrete (RC)-framed buildings are prone to seismic damage because of improper design and construction applications as well as poor material properties. In this study, ... -
Restoration of Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda: Evaluation of Reinforced Granite Members with Titanium Bars
(ASCE, 2020)Granite is one of the most common stones used historically in Korean architecture. Given the abundance of high-quality granite, more than 90% of the pagoda structures in Korea–tiered towers with multiple eaves—were built ... -
Probabilistic Performance-Based Assessment for Critical Separation Distance of Adjacent Buildings: Theoretical Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)Existing methodologies to calculate the minimum separation distance between adjacent buildings are based on the estimations of the peak relative horizontal displacement of adjacent structures that are characterized by ... -
Live Load Testing of NEXT-D Bridges to Determine Distribution Factors for Moment
(ASCE, 2020)Live load tests were conducted on an in-service bridge containing decked Northeast Extreme Tee (NEXT-D) girders. The purpose of the tests was to evaluate transverse load distribution and to determine which (if any) of the ... -
Rehabilitation Design of a Historic Concrete Arch Bridge in Prague from the Early 20th Century
(ASCE, 2020)This article presents a proposal of a method for the restoration and rehabilitation of Liben Bridge, a historic concrete vaulted arch bridge structure from the early 20th century. The bridge is appreciated as a unique ... -
Seismic Fragility Evaluation of SCCB-Enhanced RC Frame Structures
(ASCE, 2020)A novel self-centering cable brace (SCCB) with friction devices was developed to improve the seismic performance of existing frame structures. To investigate the enhancing effect of the SCCB on reinforced concrete (RC) ... -
Engineering Reconnaissance Following the Magnitude 5.7 Tripura Earthquake on January 3, 2017
(ASCE, 2020)On January 3, 2017, adjoining states of Tripura and Bangladesh witnessed a moderate earthquake of a magnitude of 5.7 (Mwb) originating in the Dhalai district of Tripura with an intensity of IV to VI in Modified Mercalli ... -
In-Service Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Constructions Used in Water and Sewage Treatment Plants
(ASCE, 2020)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are being increasingly used in the construction sector, especially in corrosion-prone applications. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about their long-term behavior under ... -
Structural Health-Monitoring and Assessment in Tunnels: Hybrid Simulation Approach
(ASCE, 2020)During the operation of tunnels, structural performance could inevitably degrade due to stochastic and adverse factors. To reduce the randomness and uncertainty of the tunnel operation, this paper provides a novel global ... -
