Damage Mechanism Investigation of a Prestressed Concrete Girder Considering the Strengthening Effect of Bridge Deck Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractUnderstanding the damage mechanism and destructive behavior of concrete girders is crucial for ensuring bridge safety. When designing bridges, the bridge deck pavement is often regarded as secondary dead load, and ... -
Cyclic Demands on Solar Structural Joints under Wind Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractDesign of solar photovoltaic (PV) support structures, especially fixed-tilt structures, is typically done using equivalent static pressures, derived from static and dynamic wind load coefficients; however, the true ... -
Prediction of Buckling Strength of Steel Column at Elevated Temperatures Based on Shanley Column Concept
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractDesign curves for steel columns at elevated temperatures in Eurocode 3 and AISC 360 become less accurate for temperatures below 400°C, whereas these low temperatures could be significant if the columns are subjected ... -
Three-Dimensional Flutter Analysis of Aeroelastic Models of Bridge Decks Based on Large-Eddy Simulations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractIn light of the limitations of traditional methods based on a sectional deck model in predicting full-bridge flutter responses, a fluid–structure-interaction simulation method for directly solving the three-dimensional ... -
Cyclic Shear Behavior of Concrete-Filled Composite Plate Shear Wall Components with Bolted Splices
