Abstract The objective of this paper is to expediently expose the seismic performance pertinent demand and capacity general long-span suspension bridges crossing active faults. Firstly three dimensional finite element model ordinary bridge established based on powerful attractive software ANSYS. Secondly a series appropriate fault ground motions with different target final permanent displacemen...

The purpose of this paper is to optimize truss bridges with a span of 50 m and 60 m long at different heights while they are subjected to wind and railway loading. Later the bridges are compared according to the most important analysis outcome such as deflection in order to identify the optimum bridge height. The analysis and design of double track bridge for modified broad gauge loading is don...

Highway bridges are frequently constructed as simple span structures with steel or concrete girders and a cast-in-place concrete deck, spanning from one pier to another. At each end of the simple span deck, a joint is provided for deck movement due to temperature, shrinkage, and creep. Bridge deck joints are expensive and pose many problems with regard to bridge maintenance. Elimination of deck...

Long-span cable-stayed bridges are subjected to the risk of collision from passing ships. Conducting experimental study on and vessels is difficult due high cost limited space. In this paper, behavior a 1[Formula: see text]018-m long-span bridge ship collisions numerically studied. Finite element models entire ships established. Four different dead weight tonnages (DWT), namely, 2[Formula: text...

This paper presents the development of a new software code for fully autonomous management permanent integrated Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems installed in highway bridge structures. The was developed within framework research project funded by Anas S.p.A., largest public infrastructure manager Italy. program includes all necessary steps to conduct SHM statistical pattern recognitio...

This paper proposes an efficient numerical technique for simulating hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge systems. An integrated finite strip method (IFSM) is proposed to evaluate the free vibration performance of cable-stayed FRP bridges. The structural ultra-long span (ULSCSB) totally different than steel and concrete structures due complexity mechanical behavior deck. Herein, anisotro...
