Load Prediction of In-Service Bridges by Using an Unbiased Grey Markov Forecasting Model
Reliable prediction of traffic loads is essential for bridge planning and design. In the study, an improved unbiased Grey Markov forecasting model is applied to predict traffic loads on highway bridges. The comparison between the predicted results and existing practical measurements indicates that high accuracy can be achieved by using the developed model for bridge load prediction. The develop...
متن کاملCrack path selection in mixed mode fracture tests of adhesive bonds, including those with locally weakened interfaces
Crack path selection in mixed mode fracture tests of adhesive bonds, including those with locally weakened interfaces Adhesives offer many advantages over discrete mechanical fasteners such as bolts and rivets. By eliminating the holes or other mechanical fasteners, components may often be made thinner that will save weight, time, and costs. Because adhesives are often applied continuously and ...
متن کاملDurability of Composites and Adhesive Bonds
Any consideration of the durability of the high performance composite materials and structural adhesives used in aerospace construction must recognize that these are brittle materials and that their failure mode is characterized by flaw growth and propagation. One can easily anticipate a variety of flaws and defects; surface cuts, internal cracks due to stress relief and deliberate holes cut fo...
متن کاملIntegrating Bridge Structural Health Monitoring and Condition-Based Maintenance Management
The development of structural health monitoring (SHM) technology has evolved for over fifteen years in Hong Kong since the implementation of the “Wind And Structural Health Monitoring System (WASHMS)” on the suspension Tsing Ma Bridge in 1997. Five cable-supported bridges in Hong Kong, namely the Tsing Ma (suspension) Bridge, the Kap Shui Mun (cable-stayed) Bridge, the Ting Kau (cable-stayed) B...
