Analytical Damping Evaluation Complementary to Experimental Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridges by visual inspection is not necessarily reliable as many damages are not discovered during the periodic inspection of bridges. A technique to assist in visual inspection is ... -
Experimental Study of Seamless Bridge Transition System for U.S. Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Expansion joints are one of the main causes for high maintenance costs in bridges. In this paper, a seamless bridge system is presented that provides for bridges with long service lives by eliminating the joints over the ... -
Seismic Fragility of Multispan Simply Supported Bridge with Drop Spans and Steel Bearings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Multispan simply supported bridges with drop spans and steel bearings were commonly constructed in northern India during the 1970s, and little knowledge about their seismic behavior is available in the literature. Because ... -
Displacement Monitoring and Analysis of Expansion Joints of Long-Span Steel Bridges with Viscous Dampers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The often-reported premature failures of expansion joints of long-span steel bridges call for a better understanding of their performance in service conditions. This paper presents the long-term monitoring and analysis of ... -
Experimental Comparison of the Performance and Residual Capacity of CFFT and RC Bridge Columns Subjected to Blasts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The blast performance of concrete-filled fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube (CFFT) bridge columns was studied through a two-phase study comprised of blast and residual axial capacity experiments. Two one-fifth-scale CFFT ... -
Seismic Performance of High-Strength Steel RC Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the results of a testing program developed to assess the performance of circular RC bridge columns constructed with -
Torsional Analysis of Multicell Concrete Box Girders Strengthened with CFRP Using a Modified Softened Truss Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Deterioration and aging of concrete structures are not the only reasons why critical members, such as beams, need to be strengthened. Other possible reasons include upgrading of design standards, compensation for faulty ... -
Characteristics and Dynamic Impact of Overloaded Extra Heavy Trucks on Typical Highway Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Overloaded trucks, including some extra heavy trucks, often cause serious threats to bridges, such as deterioration, fatigue damage, or even collapse. Compared with the standard traffic design loads in design specifications, ... -
Vehicle Impact on the Deck Slab of Concrete Box-Girder Bridges due to Damaged Expansion Joints
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Expansion joints will experience increasing deterioration and damage under repeating vehicle loading. A severely damaged expansion joint will induce significant dynamic vehicle load effects on the bridge deck near the ... -
Structural Behavior of Bridge Decks with Cast-in-Place and Precast Concrete Barriers: Numerical Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Nonlinear finite-element (NLFE) calculations were used to compare and optimize the load transfer and failure mode of precast and cast-in-place bridge barriers subjected to transverse loads on bridge deck overhangs. The ... -
Use of Construction Stages to Review a Bridge Finite-Element Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The Veterans’ Glass City Skyway (VGCS) is a posttensioned concrete segmental cable-stayed bridge in Toledo, Ohio. The baseline analytical model of the bridge was reviewed using the measured response to construction loads ... -
A New Type of Structure: Glass Cable Truss
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The glass cable truss can be used in pedestrian bridges, glass roofs, and glass curtain walls, and its characteristics and components are introduced in this article. Model tests and finite-element analysis (FEA) were ... -

Finite-Element Modeling of Twin Steel Box-Girder Bridges for Redundancy Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A detailed finite-element (FE) modeling procedure is presented for evaluating the redundancy of twin steel box-girder bridges. For this study, it was assumed that the passage of a truck live load triggers the sudden fracture ... -
Shear Behavior of Dry Joints with Castellated Keys in Precast Concrete Segmental Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Precast concrete segmental bridges with dry joints have the advantages of rapid construction speed and low cost. The shear strength and shear behavior of dry joints with castellated keys in precast concrete segmental bridges ... -
Damage Detection in Long Suspension Bridges Using Stress Influence Lines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Numerous long-span cable-supported bridges have been built throughout the world in recent years. These bridges begin to deteriorate once built and continuously accumulate damage during their long service life. The growing ... -
Buffeting Analysis of a Cable-Stayed Bridge Using Three-Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In recent years, a number of studies have been conducted to analyze wind-induced vibrations of a bridge using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Previous studies have been limited to analyzing two-dimensional sections ... -
Calibration and Validation of Analytical Models for Predicting the Seismic and Axial-Load Response of Circular Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The objective evaluation of the capacity of a bridge to carry self-weight and traffic loads after an earthquake is essential for a safe and timely reopening of the bridge; this performance goal gains in importance with the ... -
