Three decades of statistical pattern recognition paradigm for SHM of bridges

Structural Health Monitoring, 2022
Bridges play a crucial role in modern societies, regardless of their culture, geographical location, or economic development. The safest, economical, and most resilient bridges are those that are well managed and maintained.

Toward life-cycle reliability-, risk- and resilience-based design and assessment of bridges and bridge networks under independent and interacting hazards: emphasis on earthquake, tsunami and corrosion

Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2020
After recent large earthquakes, field investigations confirmed that several bridges were severely damaged and collapsed not only due to the earthquake, as an independent hazard, but also to the subsequent tsunami, landslide or fault displacement.

Fatigue cracking of welded railway bridges: A review

Engineering Failure Analysis, 2019
Steel railway bridges of all types comprise a large portion of the infrastructure inventory of several countries. Due to the ageing of these structures and increasing traffic loadings, structural fatigue increasingly became an important concern, leading ...

To Bridge or Not to Bridge?

Transplantation Proceedings, 2012
Ventricular assist devices (VAD) are an important therapy that saves the lives of candidates a waiting heart transplantation (HTx). However, there are questions about posttransplantation effects of VADs.Seventy-four patients with end-stage heart failure who underwent HTx in our clinic between February 2007 and July 2011 were divided into two groups; a ...

Using tuned mass damper inerter to mitigate vortex-induced vibration of long-span bridges: Analytical study

Engineering structures, 2019
The undesirable vortex-induced vibration (VIV) may seriously influence the fatigue life and serviceability of bridge structures. It is important to take countermeasures to suppress the adverse VIV of long-span bridges.

Seismic fragility analyses of sea-crossing cable-stayed bridges subjected to multi-support ground motions on offshore sites

Engineering structures, 2018
As key components in the transportation networks at coastal areas, sea-crossing cable-stayed bridges play a very important role in the development of regional economy. These bridges may be subjected to severe earthquakes during their life-cycles.
