Modeling Nonlinear Cyclic Load–Deformation Response of Corrosion‐Damaged Reinforced Concrete Columns

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 10, Page 2453-2482, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This study presents a lumped plasticity modeling method for simulating the nonlinear load–deformation response of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) columns with rectangular and circular cross‐sections. The proposed modeling method utilizes an extended column database to enhance the robustness of the database and considers cyclic degradation ...

Parametric modeling for automated intelligent design of concrete beam bridges: A global and local optimization approach

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 4083-4102, August 2025.
Abstract The structural design of prestressed concrete girders in beam bridges is performed by coupling 3D parametric modeling, optimization, and statistical techniques, structural analysis, and design. The objective is to explore the potential and advantages of advanced design methodologies based on intelligent design.

Modeling post‐earthquake functional recovery of bridges

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2089-2122, August 2025.
Rapid restoration of transportation systems following earthquake disruptions is essential due to its significant impact on commutes, freight transport, and emergency medical response. This study develops a framework to model bridge post‐earthquake functional recovery, which is a critical step in assessing the seismic resilience of transportation ...

Integral Bridge Abutment-to-Approach Slab Connection Final Report;TR-539/TR-530, June 2008

open access: yes, 2008
The Iowa Department of Transportation has long recognized that approach slab pavements of integral abutment bridges are prone to settlement and cracking, which manifests as the “bump at the end of the bridge”.

Time‐dependent seismic risk assessment of highway bridges in western Canada under mainshock‐aftershock subduction earthquakes

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2123-2149, August 2025.
This study conducts the time‐dependent seismic risk assessment of highway bridges in western Canada when subjected to Cascadia subduction earthquakes (CSE) and aftershocks (AS). The performance‐based earthquake engineering framework is extended to assess the expected annual repair cost ratio and annual restoration time of a benchmark bridge class under

Identification of the Best Practices for Design, Construction, and Repair of Bridge Approaches: TR-481, January 2005

open access: yes, 2005
Bridge approach settlement and the formation of the bump is a common problem in Iowa that draws upon considerable resources for maintenance and creates a negative perception in the minds of transportation users.

Deep Learning‐Based Response Spectrum Analysis Method for Bridges Subjected to Bi‐Directional Ground Motions

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 8, Page 2031-2043, 10 July 2025.
ABSTRACT The response spectrum analysis method is one of the most widely used approaches developed to estimate the seismic demands of structural systems with minimal computational expense while maintaining high accuracy. The authors recently proposed a deep learning‐based combination (DC) rule to enhance the prediction accuracy of the response spectrum
