Physical Modeling of Local Scouring around Bridge Piers in Erodable Bed [PDF]
, 2007 The construction of bridges in alluvial channels will cause a contraction in the waterway at the bridge site. The contraction in the waterway will cause a significant scour at that site.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

A Most-Unfavorable-Condition Method for Bridge-Damage Detection and Analysis Using PSP-InSAR
Remote Sensing, 2021 The main contribution of this study is to provide a new idea to detect bridge damage by using PSP-InSAR technology. A most-unfavorable-condition method is proposed for bridge-damage detection and analysis.

Journal of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers, 1987 Relocation of a major county road in the Midwest required the construction of a five-span, 3 19 foot long bridge over a creek. Each pier consisted of a reinforced concrete panel 56 feet high, 22 feet wide and 2 feet thick, with a top cap and a footing.

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To address the dual challenges of routine driving vibration and impact loads in vehicle seat suspensions, a novel variable‐gap magnetorheological damper (VGMRD) is proposed. By combining a tapered piston with a conformal variable‐diameter cylinder, stroke‐dependent, dual‐mode damping characteristics are achieved without the need for complex ...

Using the movability number to model local clear-water scour in rivers [PDF]
, 2007 Includes bibliographical references.Local scour is associated with a considerable number of bridge failures worldwide. It occurs at bridge piers and abutments as a result of interactions between complex flow features and the channel bed.
