Dynamic Response of Multitower Suspension Bridge Deck Pavement under Random Vehicle Load

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021
Recently, the multitower suspension bridge has been widely used in long-span bridge construction. However, the dynamic response of the deck and pavement system of the multitower suspension bridge under random vehicle load is still not clear, which is of ...

High‐Cycle Fatigue Assessment Method for Composite Bridges Based on Predamage Mechanics Model

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Long‐span bridges face the significant challenge of deteriorating life cycles under fatigue loads. A new macroscopic damage mechanics model for rod hinge elements has been proposed to quantify the predamage of bridge beams subjected to high‐cycle fatigue.

Fatigue performance of bonding‐assisted fillet weld roots by inserting adhesive material

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 3646-3657, October 2024.
Abstract This study proposes a novel method to prevent fatigue cracks at the root of fillet welds in steel bridge supports by inserting epoxy resin as an adhesive material. A total of 36 specimens, categorized into welded‐only and bonding‐assisted types, were subjected to a series of four‐point bending fatigue tests to simulate cyclic tensile stress ...

Development of a lamella‐model to evaluate stresses caused by hot asphalt installation

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 7, Issue 3-4, Page 56-61, September 2024.
Abstract On road‐bridges hot asphalt is installed to provide a level and waterproof surface. That wearing surface, however, needs occasional renewal. On a number of steel highway‐bridges it has been observed that after such asphalt‐renewal fatigue‐cracks have increasingly occurred at the welds of orthotropic bridge‐decks.

Remaining Fatigue Strength of an Orthotropic Steel Deck with Respect to a Repair Method by Cold Joining Techniques

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 7, Issue 3-4, Page 143-152, September 2024.
Abstract The increased traffic loads of the last decades led to an overload of the existing infrastructure. Especially for orthotropic steel decks of bridges, which are prone to fatigue fractures, this have led to structural damages of different categories.

Age of Flexible Electronics: Emerging Trends in Soft Multifunctional Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 36, Issue 16, April 18, 2024.
With the commercialization of first‐generation flexible mobiles and displays in the late 2010s, humanity has stepped into the age of flexible electronics. Inevitably, soft multifunctional sensors, as essential components of next‐generation flexible electronics, have attracted tremendous research interest like never before.

Digital Image Correlation for Assessment of Bridges’ Technical State and Remaining Resource

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Bridges enable communications and transportation of goods nationally and internationally, underpinning economic and social activities, and thus they are pylons of our prosperity and mobility. Bridges worldwide are constantly subjected to physical wear, ageing, deterioration, hazards, environmental influences, and increased loading.

Bending performance of prefabricated ultra-thin UHPC unit plate reinforced orthotropic steel bridge decks

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials
To address the challenges related to lengthy construction period, complex maintenance requirement, and the elevated risk of shrinkage cracking associated with cast-in-place UHPC reinforcement of orthotropic steel bridge decks. This paper proposes a novel

Data‐Driven Fatigue Failure Probability Updating of OSD by Bayesian Backward Propagation

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
This study introduces a data‐driven approach for updating the fatigue failure probability of the orthotropic steel deck (OSD) using Bayesian backward propagation. The OSD in steel bridges is considered as a parallel system composed of two critical fatigue‐prone components, namely, the rib‐to‐diaphragm and rib‐to‐deck joints.
