ABSTRACT The management of lifespan and safety performance, aimed at ensuring the structural integrity and durability of highway infrastructure, has become an increasingly important area of research. In civil engineering, traditional methods for evaluating dynamic behavior, such as Operational Modal Analysis and the Peak Picking technique, often fall ...

Ice Loads on the Confederation Bridge Piers [PDF]
The Confederation Bridge is a multi-span bridge which acts as a “fixed link” between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, Canada. The bridge opened in 1997 and cost approximately one billion dollars to construct.

Research on Flood Impact and River Regime of Skew Bridges Crossing River Bend Based on FVM Method
Based on finite volume method (FVM) and two-dimension unstructured grid,taking a skew bridge crossing the river bend as the research object,this paper builds a hydrodynamic model of the upstream and downstream of the bridge,and simulates and analyzes the

ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Knocking Off the Street: The Subversive Writings of Hong Kong's Grassroots Kings
ABSTRACT This article examines how two grassroots street artists in Hong Kong, the King of Kowloon (Tsang Tsou‐choi) and the Plumber King (Yim Chiu‐tong), intervene in the city's everyday visual order. Moving beyond celebratory collective memory narratives and easy analogies to graffiti, it frames their works as subversive urban practices that rework ...

Temporal variation of scouring topography around dual bridge piers [PDF]
© 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.In river bridges, one of the most common reasons of bridge failures is attributed to excessive local scour around bridge piers and/or abutments. Therefore, it is important to investigate the scouring mechanism around
