We introduce a new method to simulate the physics of rare events. The method, an extension of the Temperature Accelerated Molecular Dynamics, comes in use when the collective variables introduced to characterize the rare ...
This paper describes the simulation of free-flowing traffic across bridges to predict
the characteristic values for bridge load effects such as bending moment and shear
force. The results of these simulations are then ...
Real-world social networks from a variety of domains can naturally be modelled as dynamic graphs. However, approaches to detecting communities have largely focused on identifying communities in static graphs. Recently, ...
This paper presents a new approach to the modelling of congested traffic loading events on long span bridges. Conventional traffic load models are based on weigh-in-motion data of non-congested traffic, or something similar ...

Traffic loading crossing a bridge is simulated to analyse the correlation between the worst static
and dynamic load case. The worst static cases are obtained through a Monte-Carlo simulation
using weigh-in-motion (WIM) ...
Accurate traffic loading models based on measured weigh-in-motion (WIM) data are
essential for the accurate assessment of existing bridges. Much work has been
published on the Monte Carlo simulation of single lanes of ...
Many highway bridges carry traffic in two same-direction lanes, and modeling the
traffic loading on such bridges has been the subject of numerous studies. Different
assumptions have been used to model multiple-presence ...
Site-specific assessment of the loading to which existing bridges are subject has considerable potential for saving on rehabilitation and replacement costs of the bridge stock. Monte Carlo simulations, with traffic ...
To predict characteristic extreme traffic load effects, simulations are sometimes performed of bridge loading events. To generalize the truck weight data, statistical distributions are fitted to histograms of weight ...
