Simplified Drift Demand Prediction of Bridges under Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper develops a simplified method to quantify the effects of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading on bridge responses, expressed as the response modification factor of the column drift ratio under seismic shaking. ... -
Nonlinear Vibration Characteristics of Bridge Deck Section Models in Still Air
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The mechanical stiffness and damping coefficients of a spring-suspended deck section model in still air are conventionally assumed to be constants and can be extracted through free decay vibrations. The extracted stiffness ... -
Fatigue Behavior of the Group Stud Shear Connectors in Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Clustering stud shear connectors with a narrow spacing to form the group studs is useful for concrete slab prefabrication in steel-concrete composite bridges; however, the group studs fatigue design has not been specified ... -
Experimental Validation of Piezoelectric Energy-Harvesting Device for Built Infrastructure Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Vibration energy-harvesting devices are increasingly becoming more efficient and useful. The performance of such devices for energy harvesting from vibrations of civil infrastructure can be theoretically quantified, and ... -
Framework of Practical Performance Evaluation and Concept of Interface Design for Bridge Deck–Wave Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The connection, or interface, between the bridge superstructure and substructure is a key component in a bridge system for resisting hurricane-induced storm surges and wave forces. The performance of the connection can ... -
New Representative Temperature for Performance Alarming of Bridge Expansion Joints through Temperature-Displacement Relationship
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)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 ... -
Damage Mechanism of Control Springs in Modular Expansion Joints of Long-Span Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Premature damage in modular expansion joints, especially in control springs, has been observed in several long-span bridges, which calls for an in-depth study on the damage mechanism. In this study, relative movements of ... -
Suppression of Bridge Vibration Induced by Moving Vehicles Using Pounding Tuned Mass Dampers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The dynamic responses of bridges induced by vehicles moving on poor road surfaces usually exceed those that are anticipated on highway bridges, thus the tuned mass damper (TMD) was studied to suppress dynamic responses of ... -
Shear Capacity of T-Section Girders Made of Reactive Powder Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study reports the findings of an experimental investigation of the shear behavior of T-section reactive powder concrete (RPC) girders. A total of 12 large-scale girders, each having a depth of 5 mm, were produced to ... -
Fatigue Performance Analysis of Damaged Steel Beams Strengthened with Prestressed Unbonded CFRP Plates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A study was experimentally and numerically conducted to investigate the fatigue performance of notched steel beams strengthened with prestressed unbonded carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. The experimental study ... -
Shear Behavior of Precast Concrete Segmental Beams with External Tendons
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Precast concrete segmental beams (PCSBs) with external tendons have become more and more popular all over the world for achieving the advantage of rapid construction. This paper focuses on the effects of shear span-depth ... -
Stress Distributions in Girder-Arch-Pier Connections of Long-Span Continuous Rigid Frame Arch Railway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Because of their large stiffness and spanning capability, continuous rigid frame arch bridges are attracting increasing interest in the development of high-speed railway networks in China. The internal loadings are associated ... -
Capacity Spectrum Seismic Design Methodology for Bridges with Hybrid Sliding-Rocking Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Bridges with hybrid sliding-rocking (HSR) columns offer an attractive alternative for accelerated construction in seismic regions. HSR columns include internal unbonded post-tensioning, end rocking joints, and intermediate ... -

Electrochemical Characterization of Steel Bridge Welds under Simulated Durability Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Ever increasingly, corrosion-induced steel bridge deterioration, particularly near or at the welded joints, has led to a huge economic burden in the United States. There is, however, no sufficient information about weldment ... -
Performance of CFRP-Strengthened Concrete Bridge Girders under Combined Live Load and Hydrocarbon Fire
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Highway bridges may encounter various extreme events during their design lives, and the effect of accidental, natural, or artificial fire on bridges is one of the least investigated hazard types. To bridge this knowledge ... -
Parameterized Fragility Assessment of Bridges Subjected to Pier Scour and Vehicular Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Even though scour-related bridge failures are among the most common causes of bridge failure, the literature lacks studies that have assessed the safety of scoured bridges to carry vehicular loads. As a result, bridge ... -
