Overview of Vibrational Structural Health Monitoring with Representative Case Studies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)In the field of nondestructive evaluation and damage detection, there is continued interest in the utilization of vibrational techniques. Structural damage will result in permanent changes in the distribution of structural ... -
Damage Localization and Finite-Element Model Updating Using Multiresponse NDT Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)New techniques for both finite-element model updating and damage localization are presented using multiresponse nondestructive test (NDT) data. A new protocol for combining multiple parameter estimation algorithms for model ... -

Ambient Vibration Monitoring of a Highway Bridge Undergoing a Destructive Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Developing a technique to continuously monitor in-service highway bridges is one of the major research focuses at the Connecticut Department of Transportation and the University of Connecticut. The goal has been to use ... -
Finite-Element Analysis of Tapered Steel and Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Bridge Camera Poles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This paper presents experimental and finite element investigations of the load-deformation behavior of tapered steel and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) bridge camera poles subjected to cantilever bending type loading. Three ... -
Live-Load Distribution Factors for Prestressed Concrete, Spread Box-Girder Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This study presents an evaluation of shear and moment live-load distribution factors for a new, prestressed concrete, spread box-girder bridge. The shear and moment distribution factors were measured under a live-load test ... -
Capacity Evaluation of Exterior Sacrificial Shear Keys of Bridge Abutments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Shear keys are used in bridge abutments to provide transverse support for the superstructure. The damage observed on bridge abutments in the aftermath of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake prompted the revision of the design ... -
Measurement of Truck Axle Weights by Instrumenting Longitudinal Ribs of Orthotropic Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)The longitudinal ribs of an orthotropic box-girder bridge were instrumented to measure axle weights of trucks. The bending stress in the longitudinal rib is composed of a girder component, i.e., the flexural stress due to ... -
Investigation of Longitudinal Forces in a Concrete Railroad Trestle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Transportation Technology Center, Inc., the University of Illinois, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway Company conducted tests on a long concrete trestle to quantify the longitudinal forces generated by a ... -
Vibrational Tension Measurement of External Tendons in Segmental Posttensioned Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)A rapid and economical vibrational tension measurement method is presented to detect distress in external tendons used in segmental posttensioned bridges. This method provides a complementary technique to traditional ... -
