Web Shear Failure of Precast Concrete Segmental Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract This study investigates shear failure in precast concrete segmental beams (PCSBs), especially web shear failure. Four segmental beam tests were conducted with a shear span-to-depth ratio of a / d = 1.96. The ... -
Field Testing and Analysis of a Composite Steel Tee Concrete Deck Bridge System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract A new short-span highway bridge system composed of inverted steel tee sections embedded in a concrete deck slab was developed for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The first bridge using this system ... -
Large-Scale Pseudotsunami Testing of Novel Bridge Deck-to-Pier Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Field assessments conducted following the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Tohoku tsunami events identified a common failure mode of bridges: washout of the superstructure in the tsunami flow. This damage was consistent ... -
Case Study of Long-Term Bearing and Expansion Joint Movement on a Prestressed Concrete Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Bearings and expansion joints are critical elements of many bridges that permit deformations of the superstructure due to creep, shrinkage, and changes in temperature to occur without the development of longitudinal ... -
Structural Identification by Bayesian Neural Network with the Most Probable Architecture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractIn this work, neural networks (NNs) are used for structural identification by constructing the relationship between experimental data and structural properties. One problem is how to choose an appropriate NN ... -
Analyzing Multiple Modal Interactions Induced by Internal Resonances in Cable-Stayed Structures Using Machine Learning Techniques
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Nonlinear oscillations induced by modal interactions are commonly observed in cable-stayed bridges, which are complex to investigate through numerical simulations. Given this challenge, this paper conducted a ... -
Semianalytical Solution to the Impact Effects of Continuous Highway Bridges under Random Moving Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The impact effect of bridges under moving vehicle loads is one of the important and difficult problems in bridge engineering. In the past few decades, researchers in the field of bridge engineering have mostly ... -
Monitoring and Numerical Analyses of the Steel Railway Arch Bridge: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract The subject of research is a steel arch-tied bridge at a high-speed railway line in Poland. After the construction was completed, a resonance phenomenon was observed at the bridge, consisting of the occurrence of ... -
Postinstalled Shear Connectors: A Case Study of a Strengthened and Monitored Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Today, steel girder bridges with an overlaying concrete deck are typically designed and constructed as composite structures. This approach optimizes the utilization of materials and structural components. However, ... -
Dynamic Response of a Joint Anticollision Device for Adjacent Bridges under a Large-Tonnage Ship Impact
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract To protect two adjacent and parallel bridges, this study proposes a double-pier linkage-type flexible guided anticollision device (DPLT-FGAD). LS-DYNA (version R13.1.1) software was used for numerical simulations, ... -
Interfacial Shear Transfer between Steel H-Piles and Concrete Encased in CFRP
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Abstract Numerous in-service steel H-piles, a common structural element in the bridge industry, suffer severe corrosion. One of the adopted solutions is to use concrete jackets to encase the corroded sections. Therefore, ... -
Automated Building Layout Generation and Evaluation through Stakeholder Values
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract The design of built facilities is inherently shaped by stakeholder values; however, mechanisms for embedding these values within automated layout generation frameworks are still lacking. Existing platforms typically ... -
Structure as Afterthought: Investigating Structural Integration in Student Architectural Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract In relation to the recognition of merging structure with architectural design, there has long been ambiguity between theory and practice in architectural education. While students understand the relationship of ... -
