Reliability Evaluation of Vortex-Induced Vibration for a Long-Span Arch Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Bridge vortex-induced vibration (VIV) involves a number of uncertainties resulting from wind characteristics, structural properties, and bluff-body aerodynamics. Evaluation of VIV considering the variability in the parameter ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study of Lateral Cable Rupture in Cable-Stayed Bridges: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The vibration behavior of a stay cable subjected to abrupt rupture due to lateral force was studied using model experiments. Based on the experimental results, the performance of an existing cable-stayed bridge was studied ... -
Fatigue Behavior Evaluation of Full-Field Hangers in a Rigid Tied Arch High-Speed Railway Bridge: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The steel truss arch is an important structural type for high-speed railway bridges with long spans. The fatigue assessment of rigid hangers under long-term train loads is an important concern. In this study, the Nanjing ... -
Medieval Arch Bridges in the Lanzo Valleys, Italy: Case Studies on Incremental Structural Analysis and Fracturing Benefit
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)After presenting a historical overview concerning the masonry arch design, this article proposes a computational procedure that allows the capture of the arch-damaging process, which takes place when the conditions assessed ... -
Rectangular Footing Dimensions to Develop the Plastic Moment Capacity of RC Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This technical note presents charts that allow bridge engineers to quickly estimate the minimum footing dimensions, as controlled by the nominal (or ultimate) bearing capacity of the supporting soil, to develop the biaxial ... -
Determining the Middle Tower Stiffness Value in an In-Plane Double-Cable Triple-Tower Suspension Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Determining the stiffness of the middle tower is a key problem in designing multispan suspension bridges. In this study, the expressions for the upper and lower limits of the middle tower stiffness of double-cable triple-tower ... -
Conceptual Design of a New Three-Tower Cable-Stayed Bridge System with Unequal-Size Fans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Multitower cable-stayed bridges with three or more towers often have economic advantages over ultralong-span double-tower cable-stayed bridges or suspension bridges, in situations when deep foundations are not required. ... -
Nothing-on-Road Axle Detection Strategies in Bridge-Weigh-in-Motion for a Cable-Stayed Bridge: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This case-study article aims to share the field-test observations of a real-world cable-stayed bridge with the research community of bridge-weigh-in-motion to address the challenges of axle identification. Various structural ... -
Monitoring an In-Service Railway Bridge with a Distributed Fiber Optic Strain Sensing System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Distributed fiber optic strain sensing systems could potentially provide a useful tool for bridge assessment by providing insights into member forces and connection behavior as well as local cross-section changes (e.g., ... -
Performance Assessment Using Structural Analysis and Spatial Measurement of a Damaged Suspension Bridge: Case Study of Twantay Bridge, Myanmar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A performance assessment of the Twantay Bridge, Myanmar, which is a suspension bridge that has been damaged by the movement of anchorages due to the soft soil conditions, was conducted based on simple monitoring, spatial ... -
Assessment of Engineering Adaptations to Extreme Events and Climate Change for a Simply Supported Interstate Bridge over a Shallow Estuary: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)There have been many cases of failures of interstate bridges during hurricanes due to the tremendous hydrodynamic loads imposed on them from waves on storm surge. Several adaptations have been suggested by others to increase ... -
