Stress histogram or spectra is key to estimation of fatigue life of highway bridges.Accurate estimation of the same for a specific bridge is traditionally done through field investigations which involve bridge instrumentations at critical fatigue prone details (Mohammadali et al.1978).This involves long term data collection and has been made possible with the advent of modern health monitoring systems (Kown &Frangopol,2010).

Fatigue is a deterioration process where a material flaw,initially microscopic in size,develops into a larger defect and eventually a crack.This occurs because of a concentration of stress in the vici
In recent years,assessing and managing hazard risks to infrastructure system has become a high profile matter of infrastructure managers as a results of the need of our society to have proactive respo
A simple and cheap assessment of 22 highway concrete bridges was carried out in Uganda in 2011 to 2013.The aim of the study was to expose visible damages on bridge.Non-destructive techniques were used
A first round of assessments for 600 shear-critical bridges in the Netherlands is based on a Quick Scan spreadsheet,resulting in a Unity Check: the ratio between the shear stress due to composite dead
Cracks are one of the most important demonstrations of structural damages.Under the effect of complicated external loads,positions of cracks inside structures are often complex and changeable and thei

Actual bridge components are often exposed to a combined effect of various environmental factors.The potential environmental combinations are generally two or more of carbonation,chloride attack,sulfa
Highway transportation is one of the important parts of comprehensive transporting system,and also one of the basic and leading industries for economic development.In the past thirty years,Chinese hig
The paper presents some developments of a simplified procedure for the assessment of the seismic safety of RC multi-span simply supported bridges proposed by the authors in a previous research work.
Bridge management systems (BMSs) are widely used by bridge managers to determine the optimal intervention strategies (OISs) for their bridge stocks.Among the techniques used to determine the OISs,most
