Non-Gaussian Turbulence Induced Buffeting Responses of Long-Span Bridges
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Conventionally, for turbulence-induced buffeting vibrations, the Gaussianity assumption is applied to all three subsequent stages of turbulence, wind loads, and structural vibrations because of its wide applicability and ... -
Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete for Improving Impact Resistance of Bridge Superstructures to Overheight Collision
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Collision of overheight vehicles into bridge superstructures often leads to structural damage, posing an immediate risk to the safety of motorists and the functionality of bridges. Considering the proven vulnerability of ... -
Improved Automatic Operational Modal Analysis Method and Application to Large-Scale Bridges
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)How to identify modal parameters accurately and automatically is an important issue in structural health monitoring. In this paper, two aspects of this issue are investigated based on the algorithm of natural excitation ... -
Design, Construction, Testing, and Behavior of Driven Precast Concrete Piles Reinforced with GFRP Bars and Spirals
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Marine, coastal structures, and bridges deteriorate prematurely due to corrosion. Numerous failures have occurred in substructure members of these structures, such as piles, leading to very high repair and replacement ... -
Identifying Modal Parameters of a Multispan Bridge Based on High-Rate GNSS–RTK Measurement Using the CEEMD–RDT Approach
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)This article aims to develop a hybrid approach of complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and random decrement technique (RDT) for identifying the modal parameters (i.e., natural frequency and damping ... -
Genetic Algorithm-Markovian Model for Predictive Bridge Asset Management
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Rapid or unexpected bridge deterioration can lead to partial collapse, which can subsequently hinder transportation activities and result in economic and human losses. Heavily adopted by the research community, Markov ... -
Performance-Based Design Framework for Concrete Barriers Subjected to Truck Collision
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)A validated computational model is used to investigate the response of concrete barriers subjected to impact by single-unit trucks and tractor-semitrailers with different weights and approach speeds. The computational ... -
Additional Shear Stresses in Webs of Segmental Concrete Bridges due to Anchorage of Cantilever Tendons
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The balanced cantilever method is the most widely used technique for the construction of large-span segmental prestressed concrete box-girder bridges. In order to control shear cracks at the service limit state, the principal ... -
Full-Scale Experimental Study of a Reinforced Concrete Bridge Pier under Truck Collision
