Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges
Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Effective axial strength of laterally strengthened RC pier heads with post‐tensioning method
Abstract This study investigates the structural performance enhancement of reinforced concrete (RC) pier heads laterally strengthened with unbonded post‐tensioning (PT) to accommodate increased design loads following a deck replacement of an existing railway bridge.

Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...

In this paper, we use Goffman's notion of “face work” to examine how pipeline engineers perform and present their working selves as competent experts. Our analysis identifies various faces and face work tactics, including a focus on professional judgment, actively selling one's expertise relative to others, protective self‐deprecatory strategies, and ...

Defining Lines of Defense Against Change Propagation Using Cause‐Consequence Analysis
ABSTRACT Complex engineered systems are the core of modern society. So that engineered systems and infrastructure can be sustainable and offer value over the course of their lifespan, there is a growing need for such systems to be changeable. Yet, establishing and operationalizing changeability can be challenging due to the potential for change ...
