Experimental and Numerical Study on the Aerodynamic Admittance of Twin-Box Bridge Decks in Sinusoidal Gusts and Continuous Turbulence
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )Aerodynamic admittance functions (AAFs) of twin-box decks are particularly complex due to the presence of a central gap, so require the performance of dedicated studies to determine them. Two main approaches are available ... -
Numerical Study on the Effect of Climate Parameters on the Extreme Thermal Gradients in Concrete Box Girders
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )Bridge codes tend to provide general guidance on the thermal gradients acting on bridge decks based on data from historical extreme events that have occurred within a country, without considering the location of the bridge ... -
Sustainable Life-Cycle Maintenance Policymaking for Network-Level Deteriorating Bridges with a Convolutional Autoencoder–Structured Reinforcement Learning Agent
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Bridges play a significant role in urban areas, and their performance and safety are highly related to the carbon emissions of infrastructure systems. Previous studies have mainly offered maintenance policies that balance ... -
A Fully Precast Pier System for Accelerated Bridge Construction in Seismic Regions
(ASCE, 10/1/2023 )As the demands on the country’s aging infrastructure continue to grow, new methods of construction that prioritize speed of construction, reliability, and environmental impact will have an outsized impact on how the country ... -
Probabilistic Life-Cycle Connectivity Assessment of Transportation Networks Using Deep Learning
(ASCE, 7/13/2023 )Bridges and pavements are two major infrastructure components of a transportation network providing mobility of freight and commodities for economic vitality and access to a range of users as social benefits. However, the ... -
Analytical Vehicle–Bridge Interaction Simulation Using Estimated Modal Parameters from Ambient Vibration Tests
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Previous research shows that an accurate simulation of vehicle–bridge systems is not feasible using beam models because they cannot adequately represent the torsional and transverse behavior of a bridge. Three-dimensional ... -
Experimental Study on the Shear Behavior of UHPC-Strengthened Concrete T-Beams
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) strengthening is an efficient technique to improve the capacity of shear-deficient members. However, the applicability of UHPC strengthening on a T-beam has been scarcely investigated, ... -
Experimental and Numerical Study on Rolling Friction in Tower Saddle of Suspension Bridges
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Rolling friction pairs in the tower saddle of suspension bridges could significantly reduce the horizontal load that is transferred to the tower. To investigate the dependence of the rolling friction coefficient (μ) of a ... -
Expert Knowledge–Guided Bayesian Belief Networks for Predicting Bridge Pile Capacity
(ASCE, 9/1/2023 1)Bridge pile capacity is a vital criterion used to assure the durability and stability of a bridge pile foundation. In fact, reliably predicting the pile capacity plays a significant role in supporting data-driven decisions ... -
Performance-Based Seismic Assessment and Design of Long-Span Concrete Deck Arch Bridges
(ASCE, 11/1/2023 )This study explored extending the performance-based seismic design method to three case study arch bridges with geometry and loading conditions representative of the long-span concrete deck arch bridge class. The force-based ... -
