Parameterized Logistic Models for Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Scheduling
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Proper inspection and maintenance schedules are integral to bridge functionality and safety; however, they also pose challenges in light of budget and resource limitations. As such, bridge management systems (BMSs) are ... -
Experimental Assessment of Second-Generation Hybrid Sliding-Rocking Bridge Columns under Reversed Lateral Loading for Free and Fixed End Rotation Conditions
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Hybrid sliding-rocking (HSR) bridge columns are among the resilient column designs recently developed to allow accelerated bridge construction for bridge substructures in seismic areas. HSR columns are precast concrete ... -
Toward Key Research Gaps in Design Recommendations on Flexurally Plated RC Beams Susceptible to Premature Failures
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Beams that are strengthened with a plate at a soffit are susceptible to premature failure (peeling and debonding). Internationally available design standards provide varied recommendations that need to be compared. In ... -
Strut-and-Tie Model-Based Prestress Design for the Cable–Pylon Anchorage Zone of Cable-Stayed Bridges
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Due to its complex geometry and mechanical behavior, the prestress design of the cable–pylon anchorage zone is difficult to achieve but critical. In this paper, the use of the strut-and-tie model (STM) is evaluated to ... -
Coupled CFD–FEM Simulation Methodology for Fire-Exposed Bridges
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Evaluating the fire performance of bridges is necessary for damage mitigation as more fire-related accidents occurred on bridge structures. Current solutions adopting temperature curves can result in significant inaccuracy ... -
Buffeting-Induced Resonances of Hangers at a Long-Span Suspension Bridge and Mitigation Countermeasure
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Buffeting-induced oscillations of hangers at a suspension bridge have been addressed in this work. The buffeting is obtained by a dynamic finite-element analysis procedure in the time domain, with simulated turbulent wind ... -
Probabilistic Models for Fatigue Resistance of Seven-Wire Prestressing Strands and Stay Cables
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Parallel seven-wire steel prestressing strands are the dominant form of the main tension elements (MTE) used in stay cables. In this paper, probabilistic models for fatigue resistance of seven-wire prestressing strands ... -
