THE CONTESTED CITY OF VENICE: Caring for Commodified Common Infrastructures in a Touristified Environment

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this essay I reveal contested common infrastructures in the interplay between vanishing public infrastructures in Venice and lack of care by governmental actors in a city with a shrinking number of inhabitants. I examine care and commodified public infrastructures in heritage cities facing mass tourism and climate change effects by zooming ...

Shaking Table Tests of Curved Bridge considering Bearing Friction Sliding Isolation

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2016
Specific to severe damage to curved bridges in earthquakes caused by the excessive force of the fixed bearings and piers, a new seismic design method on curved bridges considering bearing friction sliding isolation is proposed in this paper.

Bridge damage detection based on vibration data: past and new developments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Overtime, bridge condition declines due to a number of degradation processes such as creep, corrosion, and cyclic loading, among others. Traditionally, vibration-based damage detection techniques in bridges have focused on monitoring changes to modal ...

BEHIND THE FACES OF AESTHETICIZED URBANISM IN TUNXI, CHINA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban policy in China has become increasingly predicated on securing an approved aesthetic that reflects ideological campaigns and political programmes. In highlighting the role of the aesthetic in Chinese urbanism, this article argues that the party‐state draws on an aesthetic palette that places the contemporary urban landscape in a ...

Quantification of the Effect of Bridge Pier Encasement on Headwater Elevation Using HEC-RAS

open access: yesHydrology, 2019
The deterioration of bridge substructure is a serious concern across the United States. The pier encasement is one of the most common practices for repairing and strengthening the bridge substructure. It is a rehabilitation process of existing pile piers
