Novel Isolation Device for Protection of Cable-Stayed Bridges against Near-Fault Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper investigates the near-fault (NF) seismic performance of a novel isolation system, referred to as the roll-n-cage (RNC) isolator, considering the cable-stayed Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge in Missouri. The RNC ... -
Seismic Response Analyses of the Yokohama Bay Cable-Stayed Bridge in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Yokohama Bay Bridge, with a total span length of 860 m, is the second longest span cable-stayed bridge in East Japan, and one of the most densely instrumented bridges in Japan. On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan ... -
Safety of Maglev Trains Moving on Bridges Subject to Foundation Settlements and Earthquakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper investigates the safety of a series of maglev trains moving on multispan bridges undergoing foundation settlements and earthquakes. Rail irregularities, the proportional-integral (PI) controller with constant ... -
Equivalent Unbonded Length for Modeling of Multistrand Tendons in Precast Segmental Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Recently issued seismic design guidelines for precast segment construction require nonlinear modeling of segment-to-segment joints of important bridges. The response of segment joints is highly dependent on the length of ... -

Ultimate Load Capacity of Cable-Stayed Bridges with Different Deck and Pylon Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)There are different connection patterns between the bridge decks and pylons of cable-stayed bridges. This paper presents an energy method of analysis for the in-plane ultimate load capacity of cable-stayed bridges with ... -
Contribution of Vertical Skin Friction to the Lateral Resistance of Large-Diameter Shafts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Large-diameter drilled shafts embedded in stiff materials (e.g., clay and weak rock) experience larger lateral resistance compared to the resistance values obtained from available soil-pile models, which usually produce a ... -

Seismic Risk Assessment of Four-Span Bridges in Montreal Designed Using the Canadian Bridge Design Code
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The seismic performance of 15 continuous four-span bridges with different arrangements of column heights and diameters and designed using the 2006 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code provisions were studied using incremental ... -
Study on Wind-Induced Vibration Control of a Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge Using TMD-Type Counterweight
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)It has been widely acknowledged that a tuned mass damper (TMD) can effectively control the wind-induced vibration of the main deck of long-span bridges. However, the unfavorable effect on static characteristics of the ... -
Ancient Stone Bridge Surveying by Ground-Penetrating Radar and Numerical Modeling Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Bridges are considered necessary engineering structures because they connect separated lands to improve economic and social development. In Spain, many of the bridges in service within the network of transport are masonry ... -
Dynamic Impact Analysis of Double-Tower Cable-Stayed Maglev Bridges Using a Simple Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The strength and stiffness design of a bridge subject to moving vehicles requires the determination of its dynamic amplification factors (DAFs). This paper presents a simple method for estimating the DAFs of a double-tower ... -
Effect of Load History on Performance Limit States of Circular Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)In this paper, the importance of displacement history and its effects on performance limit states, the relationship between strain and displacement, and the spread of plasticity in RC structures is explored. An experimental ... -
Direct Displacement–Based Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Arch Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper extends the direct displacement–based design (DDBD) procedure, which was developed for buildings and conventional bridges, to the special case of RC deck arch bridges. New design expressions are formulated for ... -
Repair of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns Containing Buckled and Fractured Reinforcement by Plastic Hinge Relocation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper describes a new repair technique that involves the use of plastic hinge relocation to restore strength and deformation capacity of RC bridge columns. Summarized is the overall repair concept and experimental ... -
Determination of Dynamic Amplification Factors Using Site-Specific B-WIM Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The dynamic amplification factor (DAF) is a significant parameter for new bridge design and characterization of existing bridges. The AASHTO code provides a predicted value based on an assumed structural model, but not one ... -
Performance of a Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert Installed in Trapezoidal Trenches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The performance of embankment installation (EI) and trench installation (TI) culverts has been investigated through experimental, numerical, and analytical methods. However, there are few studies on the performance of ... -
Temperature Effect on Creep Behavior of CFST Arch Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Because concrete-filled steel-tube (CFST) arch bridges usually reside in areas with strong temperature effects, which influence concrete creep behavior considerably, this paper aims to present an approach to evaluate the ... -
