(BCRI, 2010)It is well acknowledged that long-span road bridges (about 50 m long and more) are governed by congestion traffic rather than free-flow conditions. A conventional model for the design of new long-span bridges is to place ...
-
(2010-06-07)An examination of weigh-in-motion (WIM) data collected recently at sites in five European countries has shown that vehicles with weights well in excess of the normal legal limits are found on a daily basis. These vehicles ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-12)In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
-
(Institution of Civil Engineers/Thomas Telford Publishing, 2009-06)Most current research on dynamic effects due to traffic load on simply supported bridges focuses on the mid-span section of the bridge, since this location corresponds to the worst static bending moment. However, the maximum ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-01)This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations on multi-layered timber beams using welded-through wood dowels in place of traditional poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)-adhesives (or metallic nails). Four-layer beams ...
-
(2008-11)For over 30 years various micro and macro models have been used for analysing masonry, but no strong consensus within the structural engineering community exists as to usage. Selection remains driven by field scenarios, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-07)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 ...
-
(Eugenides Foundation, 2011-10-13)Kernel density estimators are a non-parametric method of estimating the probability density function of sample data. In this paper, the method is applied to find characteristic maximum daily truck weights on highway ...
-
(CRC Press, 2011-08-01)The accurate estimation of site-specific lifetime extreme traffic load effects is an important element in the cost-effective assessment of bridges. In recent years, the improved quality and increasing use of weigh-in-motion ...
-
(IWA Publishing, 2003-08)Much research in Europe at present has been directed at generating and assessing modelling tools for use in catchment management, driven by the requirements and schedule of the Water Framework Directive. A logical first ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-06)The paper considers two techniques to model the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) end resistance, qc in a dense sand deposit using commercial finite element programmes. In the first approach, Plaxis was used to perform spherical ...
-
(Elsevier, 2010-09)This paper investigates the applicability of a cohesive zone model for simulating the performance of bituminous material subjected to quasistatic loading. The Dugdale traction law was implemented within a finite volume ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-11-12)Hydrological or hydraulic flood routing methods can be used to predict the floodplain influences on a flood wave as it passes along a river reach. While hydraulic routing uses both the equation of continuity and the equation ...
-
(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 ...
-
Multi-criteria and Decision Support Systems in support of the Water Framework Directive in Ireland (2006-04)The current challenge in the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in Ireland is to introduce programmes of measures that will address the targeted environmental objectives in each River Basin District (RBD). ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009-07)The aim of this study is to obtain optimal decolourization conditions for Acid blue-7 (AB7) wastewater treatment by Ti/TiO2 photoelectrocatalysis using response surface methodology (RSM). On the basis of a three-variable ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006-09)An effective disaster management system requires collection of baseline data that is comprehensive, accurate, timely, and accessible. Without these four characteristics, an effective, economical, and task-oriented disaster ...
-
(Bentham Science, 2011-12-01)Traditionally, urban models in many applications such as urban planning, disaster management, and computer games only require visual accuracy. However, more recently, updating urban infrastructure combined with the rise ...
-
(Elsevier, 2003-04)A method is described for determining both the rate of heat generation and the time-dependent thermal properties of concrete so that the temperature development in a concrete section can be modelled. The method uses measured ...
