This work proposes a numerical investigation on the effects of damage on the structural
response of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridge structures commonly adopted in highway and …

Accurate identification of impact loads is vital for structural assessment and design.
Traditional methods rely on complex equipment, such as accelerometers or strain gauge …

The kurtoses of stress responses have significant influences on the fatigue life of in-service
structures. To estimate the potential fatigue damage based on excitation information, the …

The dynamic response of a railway bridge can be affected by the properties of its
foundations, particularly if founded on soft soils. Thus, this work aims to establish a coupled …

Vibration isolation for low frequency excitation and the power supply for low power
monitoring sensors are important issues in bridge engineering. The main problem is how to …
