...Zhaoming Lan In response to slow information updates, low data consistency, and long system response times in the operation and maintenance of super large bridges, this study proposes a CATIA-based bridge modelling and management system. The system adopts a bottom-up design framework and integrates...

The paper identifies successful research efforts using machine learning, identifies opportunities...

...Hamed Mehranfar, MSc; Bryan T Adey, PhD; Saviz Moghtadernejad, PhD; Steven Chuo, MSc Bridge managers need to generate a complete overview of required interventions, possession windows and likely costs 10–20 years ahead of execution. These, even if approximate, help ensure stable train schedules...

...Arezoo Bakhshizadeh, MSc; Kabir Sadeghi, PhD It is important to consider the impact of non-uniform excitations on long structures, including bridges. This study investigates how the dynamic behaviour of a cable-stayed bridge is impacted by multiple sources of support excitation. The bridge...

... and therefore needs to be justified by comparing its costs to the potential savings if such monitoring leads to timely actions. This paper presents a framework that considers two strategies for managing a bridge deck network: a condition-based strategy that involves monitoring and repair and a time-based...
