Vibrational Response of Solid RC Slab System Under Synchronized Multiperson Walking Excitation
Solid reinforced concrete (RC) floor systems have become susceptible to vibration from walking‐induced excitation due to the lightweight characteristics of concrete. This reduces the serviceability of the building in terms of occupant discomfort, adaptability to dynamic load, durability issues resulting from undesirable cracking, and service life.

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