(Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, 2012-07-22)Bridge structures are subject to continuous degradation due to the environment, ageing and excess loading. Monitoring of bridges is a key part of any maintenance strategy as it can give early warning if a bridge is becoming ...
-
(Sciyo, 2010)First investigations on the dynamic response of bridges due to moving loads were motivated by the collapse of the Chester railway bridge in the UK in the middle of the 19th century. This failure made evident the need to ...

(British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing, 2009-08)Pavements and bridges are subject to a continuous degradation due to traffic aggressiveness, ageing and environmental factors. A rational transport policy requires the monitoring of this transport infrastructure in order ...
-
(Elsevier, 2007-05)This paper presents a novel approach to the reduction of short-span bridge dynamic responses to heavy vehicle crossing events. The reductions are achieved through adjustment of the vehicle suspension damping coefficient ...

(Wiley, 2008-07)Bridge Weigh-In-Motion systems measure bridge strain caused by the passing of a truck to estimate static axle weights. For this calculation, they commonly use a static algorithm that takes the bridge influence line as ...

(Professional Engineering Publishing / SAGE Publications Ltd, 2010)This paper presents the equations of motion for a general articulated road vehicle, with variable numbers of wheels for the tractor and trailer. The equations are applicable to vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction problems ...

(World Conference on Structural Control and Monitoring, 2010)Highway structures such as bridges are subject to continuous degradation primarily due to ageing and environmental factors. A rational transport policy requires the monitoring of this transport infrastructure to provide ...

(BCRI, 2010-09-02)Highway structures such as bridges are subject to continuous degradation primarily due to ageing, loading and environmental factors. A rational transport policy must monitor and provide adequate maintenance to this ...

(Elsevier, 2009-07)When formulating an approach to assess bridge traffic loading with allowance for Vehicle-Bridge Interaction (VBI), a trade-off is necessary between the limited accuracy and computational demands of numerical models and the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2010-12)More accurate assessment of safety can prevent unnecessary repair or replacement of existing bridges which in turn can result in great cost savings at network level. The allowance for dynamics is a significant component ...
