Corrosion is one of the most severe threats to the stability of steel bridges and regular rust
removal techniques is needed for the maintenance of steel bridges. Currently the correlation …

Welding is widely used in the connection of metallic structures, including welded joints in
oil/gas metallic pipelines and other structures. The welding process is vulnerable to the …

Welded joints in metallic pipelines and other structures are used to connect metallic
structures. Welding defects, such as cracks and lack of fusion, are vulnerable to initiating …

Corrosion and corrosion-induced damage have resulted mostly in malfunctions and
sometimes even in failures of metallic structures, including oil and gas pipelines. In this …

Welded joints and surrounded material discontinuity zones in metallic infrastructures are
highly vulnerable to severe corrosion-induced damage, which significantly shortens the …

This study suggests an inspection method for early detecting the deterioration of the heavy-
duty anticorrosion coatings of steel bridges based on the near-infrared spectral …

The current research examines the seismic performance of irregular cross-section of bridge
piers that has rarely been investigated. Preceded by a successful validation, the study was …

When evaluating and prewarning the damage state of bridges, the observation equation and
state equation of bridge systems are not constructed in the existing methods, which would …

Working in an environment with many influencing factors can lead to the deterioration of
construction. For bridges, the harshness and unpredictability of the environment can come …

Thin-walled steel-stiffened box columns are widely used as cantilever bridge piers, due to
their structural efficiency, attractive appearance, high earthquake resistance, and potential …
