Particle Swarm Optimization–Based Finite-Element Analyses and Designs of Shear Connector Distributions for Partial-Interaction Composite Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Particle swarm optimization–based finite-element (PSO-FE) method is introduced for the designs and analyses of the steel–concrete composite beams. After a brief explanation of the PSO-FE theory, the optimizations of shear ... -
Probabilistic Chloride Penetration Models and Corrosion Initiation Probability of RC Bridge Based on Long-Term Test Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Chloride penetration initiates the corrosion of the steel reinforcement and causes the deterioration of an RC bridge in a marine area. This study focuses on the probabilistic models in the chloride penetration process for ... -
Effects of Construction Technology on Bearing Behaviors of Rock-Socketed Bored Piles as Bridge Foundations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Construction technology has a considerable impact on the bearing behavior of bridge pile foundations. Considering practical bridge engineering, this study examined the mechanical characteristics of rock-socketed bored piles ... -
Field Evaluation of Staged Concrete Bridge Deck Pours Adjacent to Live Traffic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Staged construction is the practice in which traffic is maintained on a bridge while it is constructed in phases. When cast-in-place concrete decks are used with staged construction, the concrete deck must cure while ... -
Field Application of Magnet-Based Smart Rock for Bridge Scour Monitoring
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this study, a smart rock, which is a magnet embedded in a concrete ball and whose direction is always pointing downwards, is proposed to monitor bridge scour depth. Based on the theory of magnetic field, the distribution ... -
Low-Cycle Fatigue of Buckling Restrained Braces in Bidirectional Ductile End Diaphragms Due to Temperature-Change Effect on Bridge Superstructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In bidirectional ductile end diaphragm systems (EDSs) in which buckling restrained braces (BRBs) are used as the hysteretic devices to provide ductile responses to earthquake excitations, BRBs that connect the abutments ... -
In-Plane Movement Measurement Technique Using Digital Sampling Moiré Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Digital sampling moiré (DSM) method is a vision-based technique that uses phase differences of the moiré fringes to measure two-dimensional (2D) translations. However, it assumes no in-plane rotation is present, and its ... -
Field Deployment and Laboratory Evaluation of 2D Digital Image Correlation for Deflection Sensing in Complex Environments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study explored the application of two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC) for measuring deflections of in-service bridges. Within the emerging area of image-based structural health monitoring, this work ... -
Shear Behavior of Epoxy Resin Joints in Precast Concrete Segmental Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Epoxy resin joints for precast concrete segmental bridges protect internal posttensioned tendons from corrosion, compensate for irregularities between joint interfaces, and act as a joint lubricant. The shear strength, ... -
Life-Cycle Cost Comparison of Corrosion Management Strategies for Steel Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Corrosion of metals is one of the primary factors leading to the deterioration of bridge structures in the US. Protective coatings applied to the surface of the metal have been widely used as a corrosion protection system ... -
Theoretical and Experimental Studies of the Antislip Capacity between Cable and Saddle Equipped with Horizontal Friction Plates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)For multispan suspension bridges, the slip between the main cable and middle saddle is a critical problem. It is therefore essential to find efficient antislip schemes and develop the corresponding evaluation method. In ... -
Dynamic Effects Caused by SPMT Bridge Moves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study provides the result of dynamic effects of self-propelled modular transporter (SPMT) movements during a simulated bridge transport. Accelerometers were attached to an SPMT and different transport scenarios were ... -
Surface Rotation Correction and Strain Precision of Wide-Angle 2D DIC for Field Use
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The paper describes how two-dimensional (2D) digital image correlation (DIC) is used on underneath surfaces of concrete bridges with a wide-angle-lens camera during load testing, and how it has potential as a stop criterion ... -
Prediction of Extreme Traffic Load Effects of Bridges Using Bayesian Method and Application to Bridge Condition Assessment
