Structural Analysis of a Stress-Laminated-Timber Bridge Deck Using Hardwood
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)The abundance of wood in Brazil combined with the advantages of its use has lead to many studies focusing on optimizing the application of this raw material. In particular, stress-laminated-timber decks are an alternative ... -
Application of Lean Engineering to Bridge Inspection
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Biannual bridge inspections are federally mandated for hundreds of thousands of bridges in the United States. This represents a significant expenditure of labor and equipment resources. Lean engineering is a framework to ... -
Methodology for Load Rating of Damaged Double-Tee Girder Bridges
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The most common type of bridge on South Dakota local roads is a precast prestressed double-tee (DT) girder bridge. For old and/or deteriorated bridges, the estimation of the bridge safe live load is necessary to ensure the ... -
Experimental Characterization of Static Behavior of a New GFRP–Metal Space Truss Deployable Bridge: Comparative Case Study
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)A new glass fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP)–metal box-truss composite girder was developed for use in lightweight deployable vehicular bridges with favorable torsional resistance for large spans. This paper describes the ... -
Dynamic Model Testing of Low-Gravity-Center Cable-Stayed Bridges with Different Girder-to-Tower Connections
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)To investigate the seismic response characteristics of low-gravity-center cable-stayed bridges with twin towers, a simplified mechanics model was established based on the transmission path of the horizontal seismic inertial ... -
Exploratory Study on Incorporating Glass FRP Reinforcement to Control Damage in Steel-Reinforced Concrete Bridge Pier Walls
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The need to demonstrate that a steel-reinforced concrete bridge pier wall resilient to strong earthquakes could be attained by the incorporation of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has been brought to ... -
Fatigue Performance of an Innovative Steel–Concrete Joint in Long-Span Railway Hybrid Box Girder Cable-Stayed Bridges
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)An innovative steel–concrete joint (SCJ) was applied to long-span railway hybrid box girder cable-stayed bridges to achieve favorable force transfer and deformation performance with a running train. The fatigue performance ... -
Cable Shape and Construction Parameters of Triple-Tower Double-Cable Suspension Bridge with Two Asymmetrical Main Spans
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Triple-tower suspension bridges with two asymmetrical main spans can adapt to complicated terrain conditions. If the top and bottom main cables with different sags are used on the two main spans, the longitudinal constraint ... -
Shake Table Test on a Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge with Viscous Dampers Considering Wave Passage Effects
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)This work focused on the damping effectiveness of additional longitudinal viscous dampers employed for seismic control of long-span cable-stayed bridges considering wave passage effects. A 1/35-scale physical model scaled ... -
Analytical Studies of a Novel Bridge Column-Footing Pipe Pin Connection under Lateral Loading
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Different types of connections have been used in practice to simulate a hinge behavior at the base of bridge columns. Previous earthquakes demonstrated that none of them could remain elastic and damage free during the ... -
Dynamic Loading Effect Testing of a Modular Truss Bridge: Procedures and Resultant Data Set
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Experimental bridge testing often produces large data sets that may have applicability to many analysis goals within bridge engineering. To ensure the persistence of these records for future analysis, it is essential to ... -
Deep Learning Framework for Total Stress Detection of Steel Components
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Accurately obtaining the stress of steel components is of great importance for the condition assessment of civil structures. Currently, methods for structure stress detection have some drawbacks such as the capability of ... -
Bending Stiffness Identification of Simply Supported Girders using an Instrumented Vehicle: Full Scale Tests, Sensitivity Analysis, and Discussion
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Static load tests are currently essential to assess the actual response of prestressed concrete bridges: the bending stiffness is indirectly estimated from deflection measurements under loading. In this paper, to overcome ... -
Shear Strengthening of Corroded RC Beams Using UHPC–FRP Composites
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)In this paper, ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) combined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is proposed for the shear strengthening of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The UHPC–FRP composites are ... -
