Long span suspension bridges cost billions. In recent decades, structural health monitoring
systems have been developed to measure the loading environment and responses of these …

Fatigue degradation of aging metallic bridges is a major concern for the safety of the railway
network, particularly regarding riveted details. The codes in force propose mainly global …

Suspension bridges offer an elegant and economical solution for bridging over long spans
with resultant low material content and ease of construction. Classical analytical methods for …

The inclination damage of mortise and tenon (MT) joints, caused by the looseness between
the mortise and tenon, has an detrimental impact on the overall safety of structures. To …

In order to extend the service life of the steel bridge deck pavement, a long‐life steel bridge
deck pavement (LLSBDP) was put forward referring to the concept of long‐life asphalt …

A smart civil structure integrates smart materials, sensors, actuators, signal processors,

Uncertainty in the failure mechanism and damage evolution of recycled aggregate concrete
(RAC) due to complex components largely restricts the practical application of RAC in load …

This paper presents an advanced submodelling methodology for local stress analysis of
complex details of existing metallic railway bridges. The fatigue assessment of connections …

Owing to the rapid development of high-strength-steel (HSS) structures, HSS moment-
resisting frames (MRFs) have become critical structural systems. Based on previous tests …

Premature failure of expansion joints is a concern for bridge owners. After opening to traffic,
the Jiangyin suspension bridge experienced frequent damage in expansion joints, and the …
