Traditionally, damage identification techniques in bridges have focused on monitoring
changes to modal-based Damage Sensitive Features (DSFs) due to their direct relationship …

Dynamic impact of moving vehicles on bridges is an important and long-standing issue in
the design and evaluation of bridges and has received much attention from researchers and …

The dynamics of roadway bridges crossed by vehicles moving at variable speed has
attracted far less attention than that generated by vehicles travelling at constant velocity …

This second edition combines an explanation of background theory with a step-by-step
guide on the analysis of common bridge forms. It includes practical examples of everyday …

Overloaded trucks, including some extra heavy trucks, often cause serious threats to
bridges, such as deterioration, fatigue damage, or even collapse. Compared with the …

Obtaining accurate traffic loads is crucial for the assessment of bridges. The traffic load
obtained by the current method is insufficient for the refined analysis of bridge structures …

The integration of large infrastructure with energy-harvesting systems is a growing field with
potentially new and important applications. The possibility of energy harvesting from …

This paper compares three approaches for predicting the bridge response under moving
vehicles. The first approach represents the vehicle as a concentrated moving load, while the …

More accurate assessment of safety can prevent unnecessary repair or replacement of
existing bridges which in turn can result in great cost savings at network level. The …

To promote the infrastructure-construction and economic development, special-purpose
vehicles (SPVs) to transport large indivisible loads are increasingly appearing on highway …
