Fatigue assessment of 100 years old riveted truss railway bridge [PDF]
Fatigue is one of the most often reasons for failure in existing steel bridges, particularly with riveted structure. Therefore fatigue assessment is always the most important part of the complex evaluation of existing steel bridges.

Design a geothermal bridge deicing system for an in-service bridge
Deicing on bridge deck surfaces is essential to ensure the safety and mobility of motorists during severe winter weather. Conventional snow/ice removal chemicals such as salt cause bridge corrosion and provoke environmental issues. Therefore, a new external geothermal heating system for bridge deck deicing and snow melting has been proposed, which can ...

Corrosion Fatigue Assessment of Bridge Cables Based on Equivalent Initial Flaw Size Model
Bridge cables under traffic loads are more prone to failure during the service life due to the corrosion–fatigue coupling effect. In this study, a novel lifespan model based on the equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) theory is established to analyze the ...

IN-SERVICE CONDITION ASSESSMENT OF LONG-SPAN BRIDGES BASED ON TRAFFIC LOAD EFFECTS USING MONITORING DATA [PDF]
Long span bridges are widely equipped with structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Using SHM, a wide range of real-time structural responses under ambient loading could be recorded, which provides the basis for bridge load rating and structural ...
