ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractUnder strong wind actions, some long-span flexible deck bridges have been observed to exhibit significant lateral vibrations. Accurate quantification of the self-excited forces induced by lateral vibration is of great…
AbstractFrom the post-war period to present day, economic development and urbanization have led to various demands for infrastructure, including bridges and viaducts. However, especially in recent years, there have been…
AbstractInerter-based dynamic vibration absorbers (IDVAs) have been theoretically studied in the vibration control of civil structures. However, experimental studies, especially studies on the nonlinearity of this mechanical device and its…
AbstractThis study revisits the modeling of buffeting forces on bridge decks and establishes the relationship between one- and two-wavenumber admittances, and between the spanwise coherence functions of turbulence and buffeting…
AbstractThis study presents and discusses a comprehensive work of nondestructive evaluation of a concrete bridge deck using impact echo for delamination evaluation, including data collection, processing, and presentation. Among the…
AbstractPeriodic bridge deck inspection is critically important in bridge management and maintenance. This paper presents a comprehensive bridge deck evaluation using sub-mm three-dimensional (3D) laser imaging technology in a nondestructive…
AbstractPolyurethane (PU) asphalt binders have been proved to be a promising class of paving materials for steel bridge deck or highway road. This study further evaluated the performance of a…
