The Train-Bridge Coupled Vibration Analysis of a Long-Span Prestressed Concrete Continuous Beam Bridge under Creep Deformation Effect

Design and implementation of a monitoring system applied to a long-span prestressed concrete bridge

Currently long-term monitoring systems are mandatory in major civil engineering structures like bridges, tunnels and dams. Generally, they monitor a set of physical, chemical and mechanical parameters in critical sections of the structure by incorporating appropriated sensors. The set of collected data demonstrates great potential in the prevention of damage and contributes to a more efficient ...

Estimation of Fatigue Life of Long-Span Bridge by Considering Vehicle- Bridge Coupled Vibration

To estimate the fatigue life of long-span steel bridge more accurately, this paper proposes a method for estimating the fatigue life of long-span bridges by considering vehicle-bridge coupled vibration. Firstly, the universal equation of vehicle-bridge vibration is derived based on triaxial standard multi-scale model of fatigue vehicle and bridge, and relevant program for vehicle-bridge coupled...

Wireless operational modal analysis of a multi-span prestressed concrete bridge for structural identification

Low-power radio frequency (RF) chip transceiver technology and the associated structural health monitoring platforms have matured recently to enable high-rate, lossless transmission of measurement data across large-scale sensor networks. The intrinsic value of these advanced capabilities is the allowance for highquality, rapid operational modal analysis of in-service structures using distribute...

Vibration isolation analysis of elastic bearing based on train-track-bridge coupled vibration model

ABSTRCT: Elastic bearings have been used on simply supported bridges on high-speed railway in Taiwan to isolate train-induced vibration. However, their influence on dynamic behavior of the vehicle and bridge has not been fully investigated, and their vibration attenuation has not been quantificationally discussed. In this study, spring-damper elements with 12 degrees of freedom are established ...
