Seismic Fragility Analysis of Long-Span Bridge System with Durability Degradation

Pushover Analysis of Long Span Bridge Bents

Development of Fragility and Reliability Curves and Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation of Talehzang Concrete Bridge

Bridges are potentially one of the most seismically vulnerable structures in the highway system during earthquake &#10 &#10events. It is known that the seismic performance of transportation systems plays a key role in the post-earthquake emergency management. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate both physical and functional aspects of bridge structures. The physical aspects of the seismic perform...

Application of Structural Damage Control in Seismic Performance Opti- mization of Long-span Cable-stayed Bridge

The damage caused by earthquake is irresistible for human beings, and the structure with poor robustness is most affected by earthquake. Especially when traffic arteries like bridges and highways are affected, the losses will be unimaginable. To reduce the loss in earthquake, the paper targets the long-span cable-stayed bridge and discusses a method of structural damage control. The energy-diss...

Historical view of long-span bridge aerodynamics

Some features of bridge aerodynamics of wind engineering are reviewed at this time, in view of the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and also to celebrate Professor Alan G. Davenport’s 40 years of contribution to the field. Primary highlighted topics are: description of motion-dependent forces for flutter instability, presentation of gust responses caused by turbulent winds and suppression ...
