... study of two long-span cable-stayed bridges is to optimise monitored sections, sensor placement, sampling frequency and type selection. The structural features and their structural health monitoring ( SHM ) systems are introduced for the two bridges. Next, the critical sections (i.e., maximum sagging...

...Marko Đuranović; Craig Meskell The effect that a splitter plate placed in the wake behind a bluff body has on the vortex-induced vibrations ( VIV ) is well recognised in the literature. This study explores whether similar effects are caused by long cantilevered extensions found on some bridge decks...

.... Advanced analytics and machine learning allow for the identification of patterns in historical data, leading to more accurate forecasts and better-informed maintenance planning. In civil engineering, this approach is particularly relevant for managing complex assets such as bridge structures. This article...

...Bing Li; Deshuo Zhang; Boyu Zhang; Guodong Lv; Bin Wang The travelling wave effect has a significant impact on the seismic performance of long-span bridges. For investigation of the travelling wave impact on the seismic response of simply supported girder bridges, a five-span girder bridge...

...Shahnam Javadian; Babak Aminnejad; AliReza Lork Bridges are one of the key components of the transportation network infrastructure. Constructing bridges requires a large investment. To this end, identification of effective parameters in urban bridge maintenance plays an important role. Hence...

...Kantheepan Yogeeswaran; Qian Chen; M. Shahria Alam; Darryl Klassen The increasing demand for new bridges highlights the need to digitalise bridge design and construction. In addition to the fragmented nature of the detailed design stage, where separate workflows are done for geometric modelling...

...Johan O. Jonsson In bridge dynamics the current practice is time domain analyses; consequently, there are specific requirements on load model formulation as well as computational intensity. This paper explores a spectral approach to evaluate bridge deck acceleration using an envelope spectrum...

...Xingguo Liu; Peibin Xu The temperature effect is one of the main causes of structural cracks and other damage in bridges. There are no temperature gradient patterns and recommended values for bridges in different regions. The temperature gradient model and its recommended value in China’s General...

...David Collings Bridges and viaducts are primary assets on transport infrastructure systems. The recent failures of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the Polcevera Viaduct have highlighted the need to regularly reconsider the resilience of bridges. The disruption to railways and seaways below...

...Adriana Trias Blanco; Jie Gong; Franklin Moon In bridge assessment practices, the field remains strongly tied to traditional methods, with owner agencies relying heavily on accumulated heuristic knowledge to interpret data and make decisions based on standard inspections and load ratings...
