Postinstalled Shear Connectors: A Case Study of a Strengthened and Monitored Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Today, steel girder bridges with an overlaying concrete deck are typically designed and constructed as composite structures. This approach optimizes the utilization of materials and structural components. However, ... -
Dynamic Response of a Joint Anticollision Device for Adjacent Bridges under a Large-Tonnage Ship Impact
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract To protect two adjacent and parallel bridges, this study proposes a double-pier linkage-type flexible guided anticollision device (DPLT-FGAD). LS-DYNA (version R13.1.1) software was used for numerical simulations, ... -
Interfacial Shear Transfer between Steel H-Piles and Concrete Encased in CFRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Numerous in-service steel H-piles, a common structural element in the bridge industry, suffer severe corrosion. One of the adopted solutions is to use concrete jackets to encase the corroded sections. Therefore, ... -
Proactive Enhancement on Fatigue Performance of Cracked Diaphragm in Steel Bridge Employing Fe-SMA
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Fatigue cracks are prone to occur at the arc-shaped cutouts of the diaphragms in orthotropic steel deck bridges. Based on the crack-stop holes, the China-made ferrous-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) plates are employed ... -
Finding the Completed Bridge State of Suspension Bridges with Short Extended Spans Based on Specified Hanger Forces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)A suspension bridge with short extended spans is a distinct and novel bridge type combining large stiffness and economic efficiency. This form of suspension bridge has been extensively built to carry trains. However, due ... -
Extended Monitoring of Earth Pressures Behind a 90 m Integral Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Despite the popularity of integral bridges, long-term field data are required to better understand the soil strain ratcheting behavior that occurs with thermal cycles. This work presents over 6 years of field data collected ... -
Performance Evaluation of Semi-Integral Abutment Bridge Ends Based on Approach Slab Details
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Semi-integral abutments help increase the service life of bridges by eliminating the issues associated with the use of expansion joints. However, the behavior of such abutments under service loads has complexities, especially ... -
Evaluation of the Residual Bearing Capacity of Prestressed Concrete T-Girder Bridges Based on Bending Stiffness Reduction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This paper examines the use of the measured bending stiffness reduction of a prestressed concrete bridge to evaluate its residual bearing capacity (RBC). To create a clear correlation between bending stiffness and the RBC, ... -
Analysis of the Failure of High-Strength Steel Wires in Suspension Bridge Hangers under the Coupling Effect of Corrosion Fatigue after Prefatigue Load
