Fatigue is among the most critical forms of damage potentially occurring in steel bridges,
while accurate assessment or prediction of the fatigue damage status as well as the …

Bridge load testing can answer a variety of questions about bridge behavior that cannot be
answered otherwise. The current governing codes and guidelines for bridge load testing in …

This paper aims at developing a monitoring-based method for fatigue life assessment of
steel bridges with use of long-term monitoring data of dynamic strain. A standard daily stress …

A baseline finite element model was developed for bridge management and calibration
using nondestructive test data. The model calibration technique was evaluated on the …

This paper focuses on fatigue reliability assessment of retrofitting distortion-induced cracking
in steel bridges integrating monitored data. The fatigue reliability assessment of the …

Strain measurements from traditional point-type gauges only reveal structural local
information. This feature significantly limits the development and application of strain modal …

Life-cycle performance assessment of bridges is crucial for decisions pertaining to
functionality, maintenance, and rehabilitation while accounting for inherent epistemic and …

Based on cracking inspection on an orthotropic steel bridge, stress behaviors and fatigue life
at cutout detail are investigated through field measurement and multi-level FEM modelling …

There is a purpose for building infrastructure, and infrastructure owners are responsible for
ensuring that the purpose is served while achieving maximum benefit at minimal costs …

This paper presents a method to estimate remaining fatigue lives of railway bridge members
subjected to time‐dependent corrosion. The method addresses effects of material loss due …
