Tsunami Forces on a Coastal Bridge Deck with a Box Girder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this paper, the solitary wave forces on coastal bridge superstructures with box girders are discussed numerically. Although there are some empirical equations for wave forces on typical bridge superstructures, no relation ... -
Aerodynamic Response of a Bridge Girder Segment during Lifting Construction Stage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Investigations on the wind loads and aerodynamic responses of the bridge girder segment during the lifting construction stage are limited. Free vibration tests of a lifting girder segment of a kilometer-span cable-stayed ... -
Probabilistic Damage Control Application: Implementation of Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering in Seismic Design of Highway Bridge Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Probabilistic damage control application (PDCA), an implementation of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE), is a stochastic process to identify the possible distribution of modern bridge responses when subjected ... -
Automating Data Collection for Robotic Bridge Inspections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Regular bridge inspections are key to maintaining healthy infrastructure and to preventing unanticipated structural failures. In recent years, mobile inspection robots have been proposed as a tool to aid bridge inspections. ... -
Seismic Assessment of a 14th-Century Stone Arch Bridge: Role of Soil–Structure Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The study investigates the seismic response of the Azzone Visconti Bridge, which is a fourteenth century stone arch bridge crossing the Adda River in northern Italy. Based on previous extensive three-dimensional (3D) ... -
Modeling Damage and Failure in Pretensioned Concrete Girders Fabricated with Large-Diameter Strands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Pretensioned concrete elements are commonly fabricated with strands 12.7 or 15.2 mm (0.5 or 0.6 in.) in diameter; however, the industry has seen interest in using larger-diameter strands in recent years. The use of ... -
Performance of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Bridge Columns Subjected to Vehicle Collision
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Collision of vehicles into RC bridge columns can result in significant damage to individual bridge components, leading to partial or full collapse of the entire bridge. Among various alternatives to RC columns, concrete-filled ... -
Self-Suction-and-Jet Control in Flow Regime and Unsteady Force for a Single Box Girder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Self-suction-and-jet flow control is a passive flow control method involving self-organized suction at the leading edge and a wake jet at the trailing edge of a structure. In this study, it was used in a 1:125 physical ... -
Navier’s 1823 <i>Memoire</i>: Analyses of Displacements, Stiffness, and Vibration of Suspension Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Navier’s 1823 Memoire (C. L. Navier. 1823. Rapport à Monsieur Becquey, Conseiller d’État, Directeur Général des Ponts et Chaussées et des Mines; et mémoire sur les ponts suspendus. Paris: L’Imprimerie Royale) is the seminal ... -
Efficient Two-Way Shear Grillage Model Solution for Bridge RC Four-Pile Caps under Wall Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Reinforced concrete four-pile caps under wall loading occur in heavily loaded foundations in bridge construction. The failure mode of shear across the full width of the cap may occur in these deep structural elements. A ... -
Large-Scale Flexure Fracture Experiments on High-Toughness Steel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Modern advances in steel production have resulted in materials with increased fracture resistance. Material characterization studies have quantified fracture behavior, while large-scale experimental tests have demonstrated ... -
Behavior of Longitudinal Joints in Staged Concrete Bridge Decks Subject to Displacements during Curing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Staged bridge deck construction is the practice whereby a portion of a bridge is left open to traffic while the closed portion is constructed, repaired, replaced, or widened. Traffic-induced deflections and vibrations ... -
Finite Element–Based Machine-Learning Approach to Detect Damage in Bridges under Operational and Environmental Variations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In the last decades, the long-term structural health monitoring of civil structures has been mainly performed using two approaches: model based and data based. The former approach tries to identify damage by relating the ... -
Truck Platoon Impacts on Steel Girder Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The presence of truck platoons on our nation’s highways is an inevitability. This research study aims to explore the potential effects of this paradigm shift in our transportation system as it relates to existing and future ... -
Probabilistic Framework for Lifetime Bridge-Bearing Demands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The life expectancy of bridge bearings is not well understood or predicted, and bearing replacement is primarily determined through field inspection and engineering judgement. An improved estimate of the time line for ... -
Stringer Longitudinal Bending–Induced Fatigue Failure of Stringer-to-Floor Beam Welded Connections in Orthotropic Steel Railway Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This article focuses on the fatigue failure of stringer-to-floor beam (SF) welded connections, which are sensitive to fatigue cracking in the orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) of railway bridges. Two full-scale SF welded ... -
Performance Evaluation of a New Precast Concrete Bridge Deck System
