Influence of Asphalt Pavement Conditions on Fatigue Damage of Orthotropic Steel Decks: Parametric Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The function of asphalt pavement on orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) is to transmit and disperse the concentrated wheel loading to the bridge structure and to strengthen the local stiffness of the OSD. Fatigue damage in ... -
Field Durability Study of Vinyl-Ester–Based GFRP Rebars in Concrete Bridge Barriers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Val-Alain Bridge on Highway 2 East is the first bridge in Canada in which the concrete deck and barrier walls were fully reinforced with vinyl-ester–based glass-fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Built in 24, this bridge ... -
Aerodynamic Instability Investigations of a Novel, Flexible and Lightweight Triple-Box Girder Design for Long-Span Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The present paper investigates the possibilities for avoiding classical flutter and static divergence for very long-span suspension bridges with a novel, flexible, and lightweight triple-box girder. Previous studies have ... -
Numerical Study of the Seismic Responses of Precast Segmental Column Bridge under Spatially Varying Ground Motions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Compared with traditional monolithic columns, precast segmental columns can significantly reduce the residual displacement after a severe earthquake. Previous studies of precast segmental columns mainly focus on the column ... -
Full-Scale Experimental Study on the Negative Flexural Behavior of Orthotropic Steel–Concrete Composite Bridge Deck
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The orthotropic steel–concrete composite deck, which consists of a concrete slab, an orthotropic steel plate, and shear connectors, has been applied for ameliorating the vehicle-induced fatigue damage on steel bridge decks. ... -
New Dynamic Prediction Approach for the Reliability Indexes of Bridge Members Based on SHM Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The last several decades have witnessed a bridge performance assessment shift from deterministic methodology to probabilistic methodology. Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been subjected to a rapid development process. ... -
Smart Radar Sensor Network for Bridge Displacement Monitoring
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Measuring static or dynamic displacement is often an integral component of evaluating bridge conditions. This article introduces a wireless, low-cost, and high-accuracy smart radar sensor network to measure bridge displacement. ... -
Modeling Corrosion Progress of Steel Wires in External Tendons
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)When prestressing tendons are corroded, a bridge owner must decide whether to replace or repair them. If this decision must be based on a destructive inspection method, section losses in the steel strands must be estimated ... -

Cold Reinforcement and Evaluation of Steel Bridges with Fatigue Cracks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Cold reinforcement techniques refer to reinforcement methods that produce no or only low tensile residual stresses in structural details, avoiding new fatigue vulnerable details. To ensure the fatigue safety and extend the ... -
Multistage Indicial Functions and Postflutter Simulation of Long-Span Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This article addresses a time-domain method for the postflutter analysis of long-span suspension bridges. The energy input properties of indicial functions (IFs) were first analyzed, and based on the findings, the concept ... -
Residual Capacity of Mainshock-Damaged Precast-Bonded Prestressed Segmental Bridge Deck under Vertical Earthquake Ground Motions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Although the use of segmental bridge decks has increased around the world, their use in seismic regions under vertical earthquake motions is yet to be fully understood. The asymmetric behavior of segment joints under ... -
Prediction of Solitary Wave Forces on Coastal Bridge Decks Using Artificial Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study proposes an alternative and competitive methodology for predicting solitary wave forces on coastal bridge decks using artificial neural networks (ANNs). It is imperative to accurately predict the on-deck wave ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Galloping vibrations have been identified as potentially problematic for dry stay cables. Three key issues play a major role in the assessment of the structural damping required to prevent galloping of dry stay cables using ... -
Investigation of the Live-Load Effects on Long-Span Bridges under Traffic Flows
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)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 ... -
Prestressed Box Girder Bridge Strengthened by an Internal Tubular Arch
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Since its completion in 1976, Osstrupen Bridge in Norway has sagged about 25 mm beyond its original precamber at the midspan hinge. Since the general state of the bridge is good, a solution was sought for raising the girder ... -
Lateral Stability of Vehicles Crossing a Bridge during an Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)During the 211 Great East Japan earthquake, the rollover of a truck crossing the Yokohama Bay cable-stayed bridge was reported. A similar incident was also reported at the viaduct of the Hanshin-Expressway during the 1995 ... -
Modeling for Assessment of Long-Term Behavior of Prestressed Concrete Box-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Large-span prestressed concrete (PC) box-girder bridges suffer excessive vertical deflections and cracking. Recent serviceability failures in China show that the current Chinese standard modeling approach fails to accurately ... -
Elastic-to-Plastic Strut-and-Tie Model for Deep Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The strut-and-tie model (STM) has been adopted as a preferred methodology for the design of disturbed regions of structural concrete; however, the service behavior of structural concrete, especially with regard to cracking, ... -
Calculating Vortex-Induced Vibration of Bridge Decks at Different Mass-Damping Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)An improved method for calculating the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of bridges is proposed in this article. In this method, the nonlinear characteristics of the additional aeroelastic effects during VIV versus structural ...
