Static and Economic Analyses of Driven Steel H-Piles in IGM Using the WyoPile Database
(ASCE, 2020)Intermediate geomaterials (IGMs) have been long recognized as highly variable geomaterials that introduce challenges during the design and construction of driven piles. Because of the lack of a well-organized and ... -
Software-to-Software Comparison of End-Anchored Floating Bridge Global Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)Several computer programs exist to handle general multipurpose offshore structural analysis of slender structures subjected to wave loading, although they have not been developed with the specific purpose of floating bridge ... -
Antislip Safety of Double-Cable Multispan Suspension Bridges with Innovative Saddles
(ASCE, 2020)Compared with suspension bridges with a single main cable in each cable plane, adding a cable with a different sag may increase the vertical stiffness, but also increase the demand of frictional resistance at the saddles. ... -
Experimental Study on Continuous Bridge-Deflection Estimation through Inclination and Strain
(ASCE, 2020)When monitoring structural data, incompleteness is a crucial issue that affects structural health monitoring (SHM). Information on displacement is particularly important for bridge state estimation, but it is difficult to ... -
Multi-Cross-Reference Method for Highway-Bridge Damage Identification Based on Long-Gauge Fiber Bragg-Grating Sensors
(ASCE, 2020)Highway bridges are vital infrastructure engineering whose safety severely influences the safety and stability of society. Damage identification, as the core part of structural health monitoring, plays an essential role ... -
In Situ Evaluation of CFRP Strengthening for Corrosion-Deteriorated Bridge Bent Caps
(ASCE, 2020)Deterioration of various elements of aging concrete highway bridges is a common and serious concern. The deterioration can be due to embedded rebar corrosion and associated concrete spalling, leading to member strength ... -
Investigation of Material Properties for Load Rating of Historical Bridges
(ASCE, 2020)More than 6,500 material test observations of historical reinforcing steel bars, structural steel, and concrete were compiled from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) database. Statistical distributions were ... -
Bridge Load Posting Based on Actual Arkansas Truck Traffic
(ASCE, 2020)Bridge load posting limits are safety and economic decisions. Bridge load posting limits restrict truck traffic to ensure safety. Therefore, trucks that exceed bridge load posting limits are required to take alternate ... -
Strain-Based Performance Warning Method for Bridge Main Girders under Variable Operating Conditions
(ASCE, 2020)This paper proposes a strain-based performance warning method for bridge main girder monitoring using the long-term data obtained for varying load conditions, i.e., the variations in temperature, wind, and traffic ... -
Probabilistic Approach to Integrating Thermal Effects in Camber and Stress Analyses of Concrete Beams
(ASCE, 2020)The accuracy of camber and corresponding stresses of precast pretensioned concrete beams (PPCBs) is routinely compromised due to ignoring the thermal effects resulting from continuously changing weather conditions, affecting ... -
Experimental Study on Steel–Concrete Composite Twin I-Girder Bridges
(ASCE, 2020)A large number of steel–concrete composite twin I-girder bridges have been built in both Europe and Japan, but the lack of redundancy has always been a concern in the US and many other countries. In addition, very few ... -
Pushout Tests on Headed Studs and PBL Shear Connectors Considering External Pressure
(ASCE, 2020)In composite structures, the shear keys, that is, the headed studs or the perfobond rib shear connectors (PBL shear connectors), are typically subjected to external pressure, owing to the self-weight of the pavement and ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Full-Scale Corroded Steel Plate Girders Repaired with UHPC
(ASCE, 2020)Deterioration of girder ends has emerged as a major issue for steel bridges with deck joints. The goal of this study was to evaluate the full-scale performance of a newly proposed repair method for steel girder ends with ... -
Research on Differences between Cylindrical and E-Shaped Dampers for the Bidirectional Seismic Control
(ASCE, 2020)The similarities and differences between the cylindrical and E-shaped damping devices used in bridge engineering are discussed, considering technical factors such as the configuration pattern, mechanical model, hysteresis ... -
Validated Lateral Seismic Force-Displacement Backbone Curves for High-Speed Rail Bridge Abutments
(ASCE, 2020)California’s high-speed rail (HSR) system is slated to traverse nearly the entire length of the state, and thus it will be exposed to seismic risks from almost every known major tectonic fault there. The present study deals ... -
Detectability of Bridge-Structural Damage Based on Fiber-Optic Sensing through Deep-Convolutional Neural Networks
(ASCE, 2020)Improving the accuracy and efficiency of damage detection of bridge structures is a major challenge in engineering practice. This paper aims to address this issue by monitoring the continuous bridge deflection based on the ... -
Bayesian Updating of Bridge Condition Deterioration Models Using Complete and Incomplete Inspection Data
(ASCE, 2020)Estimation of the time that a bridge or bridge component stays in a specific condition can guide decision-making on bridge maintenance and preservation. Statistical models of the time-in-condition rating (TICR) for bridges ... -
Static Performance of a Long-Span Concrete Cable-Stayed Bridge Subjected to Multiple-Cable Loss during Construction
(ASCE, 2020)To study the structural response of a long-span cable-stayed bridge to cable loss during construction, the static performance of the Chishi Bridge subjected to multiple-cable loss caused by a fire accident was investigated ... -
Transverse Post-Tensioning in Long-Span Concrete Box-Girder Bridges: Refined Modeling and Alternative System
