Qualitative Measure of Efficiency of Post-Tensioned Concrete Bridges
(ASCE, 2020)This article presents the results of a study of the efficiency of post-tensioned bridges. It is an initial step toward a broader goal of providing designers with a simple and rational basis for assessing the efficiency of ... -
Experimental Uncertainty Quantification of Flutter Derivatives for a PK Section Girder and Its Application on Probabilistic Flutter Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)Aerodynamic flutter instability could lead to the catastrophic collapse of flexible long-span bridges and needs to be prevented. This study investigated the variability of eight experimentally measured flutter derivatives ... -
Ground Penetrating Radar Data Processing for Concrete Bridge Deck Evaluation
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents ground-coupled ground penetrating radar (GPR) data-processing procedures for concrete bridge deck evaluation. GPR signals are analyzed in the depth range from the concrete surface to top reinforcement ... -
Frequency Identification of Bridges Using Smartphones on Vehicles with Variable Features
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents a crowdsensing framework employing smartphones in monitoring populations of bridges in future smart cities. In this regard, because there are a variety of vehicles with different features traveling over ... -
Shear Capacity of Clamped Deck Slabs Subjected to a Concentrated Load
(ASCE, 2020)Reinforced concrete (RC) deck slabs without transverse reinforcement are commonly used in bridge structures. The ability of RC slabs to distribute concentrated loads due to the pressure of wheels in a transverse direction ... -
Effects of Clustering and Flange Surface Friction on Headed Shear Stud Demands
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents a novel approach to measuring shear stresses within embedded studs and investigates the effects of stud clustering and steel flange surface friction on resulting stud demands during fatigue loading. In ... -
Joint Design Optimization for Accelerated Construction of Slab Beam Bridges
(ASCE, 2020)The Florida Slab Beam (FSB) has been developed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to be used for short-span bridges [less than about 19.8 m (65 ft) long]. The FSB system consists of shallow precast, prestressed ... -
Load Truncation Approach for Development of Live-Load Factors for Bridge Rating
(ASCE, 2020)Various local governments have developed state-specific vehicular live-load factors for bridge rating. However, a significant computational demand is often associated with such an effort. This is due to the large size of ... -
Seismic Performance of Steel-Concrete Composite Rigid-Frame Bridge: Shake Table Test and Numerical Simulation
