Optimization of the Main Cable Shape in Double-Cable Suspension Bridges and the Effect on Live-Load Responses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Double-cable suspension bridges (2-CSBs) usually have smaller main cable diameters and larger cable stiffness and enjoy bright engineering prospects. However, there is still a need for studies on the mechanical ... -
Investigating Consistency among Bridge Inspectors Using Simulated Virtual Reality Testbeds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract There are more than 623,000 bridges across the United States. Of these, 45% are at least 50 years old, and 6.8% are classified as structurally deficient, indicating a poor condition. The safety and functionality ... -
Localization and Quantification of Damage along the Transverse Direction of Bridges Using Bridge Weigh-in-Motion Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Bridges, crucial for surface transportation networks, carry continuous vehicle loads in varying weather conditions. Throughout the service life, bridges accumulate damage due to increased traffic, fatigue, harsh ... -
Residual Fatigue Performance of Stay Cable Strands Subjected to Fire Threats
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Fire-induced extreme temperature events can rapidly degrade the fatigue capacity of stay cable strands. This paper investigates the residual fatigue performance of fire-exposed stay cable strands to help bridge ... -
Two-Way Shear Behavior of GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts with 70 MPa Concrete under CL-625 Truck Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Although high-strength concrete is becoming more common in bridge and highway structures, its performance in glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP)-reinforced box culverts under two-way shear remains unexplored. ... -
Modularized Physics-Driven Dynamic Response Prediction of Long-Span Bridge and Traffic System Subjected to Stochastic Loads Based on Neural Operators
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The rapid and reliable prediction of dynamic responses in long-span bridges (LSBs) and traffic systems considering dynamic interactions under stochastic loads is crucial for understanding the operational risk for ... -
Degradation and Recovery Behavior for the Seismic Performance of a Chloride-Contaminated RC Pier after Electrochemical Repair
