A Probability-Based Likelihood Function for Bayesian Updating of a Bridge Condition Deterioration Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)To predict the future condition of a bridge, statistical models for the time-in-condition rating (TICR) can estimate the time that a bridge stays in a given condition and then predict the future condition of the bridge. ... -
Performance Prediction for Steel Bridges Using SHM Data and Bayesian Dynamic Regression Linear Model: A Novel Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Understanding expected structural behavior enables the early identification of potential structural issues or failure modes, allowing for timely intervention and maintenance. Guided by this premise, this paper proposes the ... -
Parametric Investigation of Load-Induced Cross-Frame Fatigue Effects in Composite Steel I-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Despite the historical tendency toward proportioning and spacing braces based on rules of thumb, modern specification guidance stipulates that cross-frame design be supported with a rational analysis, which is commonly ... -
Field Monitoring of Cross Frames in Composite Steel I-Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Many of the current fatigue design specifications for cross frames, especially those in composite steel bridge systems, have primarily been based on computational studies and component-level laboratory experiments. To fully ... -
Aerostatic Stability and Bifurcation for Long-Span Bridges Based on Reduced Order Modeling via Singular Value Decomposition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The traditional nonlinear aerostatic instability of long-span bridges is based on a two-layer iteration method that accurately predicts the structural equilibrium path before the critical buckling point. Due to strong ... -
Analytical Investigation of Performance of Passive Negative Stiffness Damper in Two-Cable Hybrid Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Stay cables in cable-stayed bridges are susceptible to vibrations due to their inherent flexibility and low damping. Different countermeasures to control such vibrations have been extensively researched as well as implemented ... -
Performance-Based Seismic Design for Retrofitting Deficient Bridge Bents: Developing Performance-Based Damage States
