Probabilistic Approach to Assessing Scoured Bridge Performance and Associated Uncertainties Based on Vibration Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Whereas application of sensors that directly detect bridge scour at the foundation may be hindered because of their installation difficulty and vulnerability to floods, the identified scour rarely has been used to assess ... -
Condition Assessment of Existing RC Highway Bridges in China Based on SIE2011
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Subjective or inaccurate condition assessment is the most critical technical barrier to effective management of highway bridges. In 2011, the promulgation of the specification for the inspection and evaluation of the ... -
Nonlinear Elastic In-Plane Buckling of Shallow Truss Arches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The available analytical methods for determining the buckling resistance of trusses typically focus on the local load capacity of individual elements and ignore global in-plane buckling behavior. In addition, theoretical ... -
Fundamental Mode Estimation for Modern Cable-Stayed Bridges Considering the Tower Flexibility
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The design of cable-stayed bridges is typically governed by the dynamic response. This work provides designers with essential information about the fundamental vibration modes, proposing analytical expressions based on the ... -
Investigation of the Aerodynamic Analysis of Super Long–Span Bridges by Using ERA-Based Reduced-Order Models
