Acoustic Emission Monitoring and Localization Method for Broken Wires in 13 In-Service Stay Cables Connected by a 165-m-Long Waveguide Rod
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract The stay cable is one of the crucial structures of a cable-stayed bridge, and the occurrence of broken wires in cables may endanger the safety of the entire bridge. Currently, the acoustic emission (AE) monitoring ... -
Exact Benchmark Solutions of Stochastic Responses and Reliabilities of Structures via the Probability Density Integral Equation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractExact analytical benchmarks of structural stochastic responses and reliability are desirable but have intractable issues. To avoid calculations of inverse mappings and its Jacobian in a change-of-variable formula, ... -
Response of Seismically Isolated Bridges due to Property Modification in Friction Pendulum Bearings Arising from Environmental and Construction Irregularities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Friction pendulum bearings (FPBs) are widely employed in bridge design for seismic isolation. Water infiltration into FPBs has been documented in various cases, presenting a potential risk of ice contamination in ... -
Probabilistic Framework for Future Load Carrying Capacity Estimation of Corroded Metallic Railway Bridges under Heavy Axle Weight Trains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Assessing the future load carrying capacity (characterized on UK railways by means of a route availability number) of historic railway infrastructure under heavy axle weight (HAW) train loads is important for ... -
Development and Analysis of a Vibrational Characteristics Database for Defining Application Boundaries of Infrasound for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Previous studies have documented the validity of infrasound as a supplementary tool for noncontact structural health monitoring of bridges. However, a more thorough understanding of when infrasound is applicable ... -
Development and Performance of a Composite UHPC Box-Beam Bridge Section
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Due to superior mechanical and durability properties, ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) has been increasingly used for bridge systems across the world. The flexural and shear design of UHPC beams has been ... -
Bending-Induced Stresses in Seven-Wire Strands with Wedge Grips
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Modern stay cables are typically composed of parallel seven-wire greased-and-sheathed strands that are bundled together. Each strand is terminated at wedges in an anchor head. Studying the bending properties of ... -
Experimental Study on the Fatigue Performance of the Rib-to-Deck Connection between Diaphragms of L-Rib OSDs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The issue of fatigue cracking in double-sided welded closed U-rib orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) is a global problem that limits the service life and structural safety of steel bridges. To enhance the fatigue ... -
Field Measurement Study on Wind Characteristics and Spatial Correlation at a Bridge Site in a Coastal Area
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Wind field measurements were conducted at a long-span bridge in southeastern China using lidar and three-dimensional anemometers. Comprehensive mean and fluctuating wind characteristics were obtained, covering ... -
Deflection Verification Coefficient Estimation of a Reinforced Concrete Hollow-Slab Bridge Based on the Technical Condition Index
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Because of overloading, damage accumulation, and inadequate maintenance, many early RC hollow-slab bridges are experiencing a decline in a technical condition, with some even facing insufficient load-bearing ... -
In-Depth Investigation of Web Corrosion’s Influence on Bearing and Shear Capacity in Steel Girders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Corrosion at steel girder ends is caused by deicing salts, water, and other environmental debris, leading to a loss of cross-sectional area and a reduction in structural resistance against shear and bearing. This ... -
