Biomechanically Excited SMD Model of a Walking Pedestrian
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Through their biomechanical properties, pedestrians interact with the structures they occupy. Although this interaction has been recognized by researchers, pedestrians’ biomechanical properties have not been fully addressed. ... -
Predicting the Bounds of Vehicle-Induced Bridge Responses Using the Interval Analysis Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A method for predicting the bounds of vehicle-induced bridge responses with uncertain bridge and vehicle parameters is presented. The uncertainties in the parameters of the bridge and vehicle are represented with interval ... -
Estimation of Vessel-Bridge Collision Probability for Complex Navigation Channels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In this paper, a model is proposed to evaluate vessel-bridge collision probability. A general mathematical model for navigation channels is suggested, which may be used for straight and meandering channels. The effects of ... -
Synthetic Rating Procedures for Railway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)One of the most important parts of any bridge management system is the condition assessment and rating of bridges. This paper introduces a procedure for condition assessment, based on criticality and vulnerability analysis. ... -
Direct Integration Algorithms for Efficient Nonlinear Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Reinforced concrete (RC) highway bridges are essential lifeline structures, especially in California, which has numerous active faults at which earthquakes are common occurrences. Accurate seismic structural analysis is ... -
Fatigue Performance of a Lightweight Composite Bridge Deck with Open Ribs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)An innovative lightweight composite deck (LWCD) is proposed for steel bridges to avoid premature fatigue cracking. The composite deck is composed of an open-ribbed orthotropic steel deck (OSD) and a thin ultrahigh-performance ... -
Analysis of a Horizontally Curved Long-Span Beam on Two Nonlinear Elastic Supports
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)An analytical model and corresponding closed-form equations capable of determining the internal forces, moments, and deflections about the weak and strong axes, as well as the angle of twist along the span and the rigid ... -
Scaffolding Bracing of Composite Bridges during Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Relatively slight bracing of steel girders can significantly reduce the risk of buckling failures before the composite action between steel and concrete occurs. This paper aims at both experimentally and numerically, ... -
Field Evaluation of Cross-Frame and Girder Live-Load Response in Skewed Steel I-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A better understanding of the relationships among girder stresses, cross-frame design, and skew angle of two steel I-girder bridges, which have moderate and high levels of skew and differing cross-frame designs, was revealed ... -
Analyzing Prerepair and Postrepair Vibration Data from the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge after Ship Collision
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The Sarah Mildred Long Bridge, an 854-m (2,804-ft) double-deck truss bridge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was struck by a 144-m (473-ft) cargo ship on April 1, 2013. After days of visual inspection and assessment, it was ... -
Investigation of Mix-Variation Effect on Defect-Detection Ability Using Infrared Thermography as a Nondestructive Evaluation Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Infrared thermography (IRT) is a promising nondestructive evaluation technique that has been widely used for bridge deck inspection. It is a quick and fairly simple method for providing preliminary information about defected ... -
Evaluation of Cracking in the Rib-to-Deck Welds of the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A new steel orthotropic deck was installed on the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge (BWB) between 2005 and 2006. In May 2007, longitudinal cracks were found by visual inspections underneath the deck plate in the rib-to-deck welds ... -
Inelastic Buckling Behavior of Steel H-Piles with Localized Severe Corrosion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the findings of an experimental and analytical research study that was conducted to evaluate the buckling behavior of steel bridge piles with localized severe section loss. Seven full-scale H-piles with ... -
Shear Capacity of CFRP Posttensioned Grouted Transverse Joints under Concentrated Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The transverse joint between full-depth precast concrete panels in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) is a critical element for satisfactory performance of bridge decks. Live loads on bridge decks are caused by concentrated ... -
Flexible Pile Head in Jointless Bridges: Design Provisions for H-Piles in Cohesive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Several methods are used to increase the lateral displacement capacity of the piles supporting jointless bridges, the most effective of which are predrilled holes and a flexible pile-cap connection. Depending on soil type ... -
Capacity and Practical Implications of Driven Bearing H-Pile Design Using ASTM A572 Grade 50 Steel

Reliability-Based Damage Identification Using Dynamic Signatures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Because of the influence of the stochastic nature of structural properties and field measurements, the identification result of damage extent is, in essence, uncertain, causing possible deviations and affecting the reliability ... -
Behavior of Concrete Segmental Box Girder Bridges with Open Webs
