Abstract As an important way to relieve the traffic pressure across rivers, immersed tunnel engineering has been gradually promoted. This paper introduces building information modeling and virtual reality technology into engineering, analyzes its technical characteristics advantages, expounds application of BIM + VR in carries out practice Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, which verifies superiority e...

Mathematics is the most important discipline for engineering students besides their own subject – and it is constantly required in engineering freshmen lectures. Sometimes, mathematical content is needed in engineering lectures before it has been taught in the mathematics classroom. Thus, the engineering teachers often have to do mathematical excurses that are ineffective and unsatisfying, both...

Stimulated by the excessive deflections and collapse of the KB Bridge of world-rercord span, the deflection histories of 56 similar bridges, most of them excessive, have been collected by RILEM TC-MDC. They amount to a wake-up call: The standard creep recommendations of engineering societies have been misleading, and thus their revision is imperative. They also confirm a simple feature: The mul...

Many countries are using bridge management systems (BMSs) as the main toll for the effective management of their bridges. Although many BMSs contain some forms of life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA), the use of LCCA in bridge engineering is scarce and LCCA has mainly been applied to support decisions related to existing bridges. This paper discuss the need of a BMS with an integrated LCCA tool that...

I n the 1820s Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier1 was a professor at the École des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris, which was the Grande École that trained engineers in nineteenthcentury France. At the same time as publishing his famous fluid equations (now known as the Navier-Stokes equations), he designed the first monumental suspension bridge to be built in Paris over the Seine. His bridge develope...

Aging highway infrastructure requires effective rating methodologies to prioritize bridges for rehabilitation and repair. To aid engineers in decision making regarding bridge maintenance, a three-dimensional 3D visualization system is developed for rating reinforced concrete deck-girder bridge. Color codings show the most probable mode of failure for girder cross sections under combined moment-...

Through the analysis and summary of research status and development trends of deck pavement technology of long-span continuous rigid frame bridge deck pavement at home and abroad, the impact factors of durability of continuous rigid frame bridge deck pavement, such as design flaw, constructional quality and overload are studied. This article will comprehensively analyze the cause of disease foc...

A set of time-synchronized strong-motion accelerograms, obtained on the San Juan Bautista 156/101 Separation Bridge in California during the 6 August 1979 Coyote Lake earthquake (M, = 5.9), are used to study the spatial variation of ground motion at the bridge site, including traveling wave effects and the influence of multiple-support excitation. Analysis of the ground motion recorded at the b...
