Experimental Explorations of the Torsional Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Bridge Deck
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)With the specific objective of exploring the surface pressure characteristics and further revealing the torsional vortex-induced vibration (VIV) mechanisms of a bridge deck with a particular geometry, numerous simultaneous ... -
Diagnosis and Mitigation of Fatigue Damage in Longitudinal Diaphragms of Cable-Stayed Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Premature fatigue cracking in the tube-gusset plate connection of longitudinal diaphragms has been observed in long-span cable-stayed bridges, resulting in undesirable stress distribution of the decks and costly repair ... -
Retrofit of Steel Columns: Parametric Studies and Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Cover plates are often added to existing (loaded) steel columns as an effective retrofit method for increasing their compressive design strength. Current bridge design specifications provide equations for calculating the ... -
Performance of Uncoated Weathering Steel Bridge Inventories: Methodology and Gulf Coast Region Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Although the majority of uncoated weathering steel (UWS) structures are performing well when designed and maintained in accordance with existing recommendations, exceptions to this trend exist. Additionally, the guidance ... -
