Sustainability of Concrete Infrastructures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Sustainability of modern civil engineering structures is the broad objective of the present paper. Infrastructures should be designed and built to be used satisfactorily over longer life spans without collapse or deterioration ... -
Reinforced Concrete Beams with and without FRP Web Reinforcement under Pure Torsion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Because of a lack of research on torsion, the Canadian design codes and AASHTO design specifications do not provide torsion provisions for the design of concrete bridge members reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ... -
Prestressing Optimization and Local Reinforcement Design for a Mixed Externally and Internally Prestressed Precast Segmental Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The precast segmental construction is advantageous for rapid erection, high quality of concrete segments, and minimal disturbance to traffic. This paper compares two different tendon layouts of a segmental bridge erected ... -
Updating the Seismic Reliability of Existing RC Structures in a Marine Environment by Incorporating the Spatial Steel Corrosion Distribution: Application to Bridge Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Although several models are available for evaluating the structural performance of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) structures, seismic reliability assessments considering the effect of steel corrosion are currently scarce. ... -
Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of the Dynamic Performance of a Footbridge with Tuned Mass Dampers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This article presents an evaluation of the dynamic behavior of a slender steel footbridge before and after the installation of two tuned mass dampers (TMDs). The results of the experimental study show that the damping ... -
Control of Human-Induced Vibrations of a Curved Cable-Stayed Bridge: Design, Implementation, and Field Validation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This article describes the research work relating to the assessment and control of human-induced vibration of an unusual curved cable-stayed bridge with separate road and pedestrian decks. Dynamic simulations of human-induced ... -
Interface Behavior between Steel and Concrete Connected by Bonding
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this study, push-out tests were conducted to evaluate the interface behavior between steel and concrete connected by bonding. Twelve sets of specimens with different adhesive thicknesses, modulus of elasticity, and ... -
Cyclic Loading for RC Bridge Columns Considering Subduction Megathrust Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Current structural design philosophies rely on the inelastic capacity of structures for resisting seismic excitations. To assess such capacity, cyclic loading protocols have been used as a common practice in laboratory and ... -
Safety of Cable-Supported Bridges during Fire Hazards
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Understanding of the performance of critical bridges, such as cable-supported bridges, during accidental fire is necessary for developing mitigation strategies against potential fire damage. In this research, the structure–fire ... -
Modeling and Analysis of GFRP Bridge Deck Panels Filled with Polyurethane Foam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents finite-element analyses and analytical models of innovative, small-scale, prototype deck panels examined under monotonic bending. The deck panels consisted of two glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) ... -
Mode Shape Expansion for Lively Pedestrian Bridges through Kriging
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper investigates the use of kriging as a powerful tool for mode shape interpolation in flexible pedestrian bridges. Kriging can be used to interpolate a set of sparse mode shape coordinates obtained through experimental ... -
Series of Full-Scale Field Vibration Tests and Bayesian Modal Identification of a Pedestrian Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Many spectacular pedestrian bridges were designed and constructed recently. Owing to their special shapes, it is expected that various types and a wide range of vibration frequency components will be induced by pedestrians. ... -
Time-Variant Risk Assessment of Bridges with Partially and Fully Closed Lanes due to Traffic Loading and Scour
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This article presents an approach for assessing time-variant risk associated with the closure of bridge lanes due to traffic loading and scour. Scenarios of lane closure are identified for both traffic loading and scour. ... -
Effects of Partial-Design-Strength Concrete on the Seismic Performance of Concrete-Filled Tube Columns in Accelerated Bridge Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study evaluated the seismic performance of circular concrete-filled tube (CCFT) columns in accelerated bridge construction (ABC). In these projects, the bridge should be open to service after a couple of days. For ... -
Hybrid Sensor-Camera Monitoring for Damage Detection: Case Study of a Real Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This article presents the real-world implementation of a novel monitoring system in which video images and conventional sensor network data are simultaneously analyzed to detect possible damage on a movable bridge. The ... -
Reduced Models for Simulating Collisions between Trucks and Bridge Piers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Finite-element simulations were used to investigate the structural demands generated by a truck colliding with a bridge pier. A reduced coupled mass-spring-damper model is proposed to simulate the collision process. The ... -
Bridge Fatigue Service-Life Estimation Using Operational Strain Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Fatigue service life of steel bridges subjected to cyclic live loads was studied using operational strain measurements of a full-scale bridge. Fatigue fracture can be brittle and sudden, potentially leading to catastrophic ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study on Ductile Fracture of Structural Steels under Combined Shear and Tension
