Bridges built in ice-covered water regions are mostly complex marine environments, they not only need to withstand strong wind but also resist the impact of drift ice. However, at present, there is a lack vehicle–bridge coupling vibration analysis and driving safety assessment under combined ice wind. Therefore, this study constructs complete framework ice–wind–vehicle–bridge interaction invest...

one of the new methods for electrical powering of the bridge health monitoring systems is applying energy harvesting systems using bridge vibration. in this method, the piezoelectric material is employed for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. the advantage of this method is based on not implementing the battery charging system. in previous research, some studies have been done...

This paper reports on the analysis of the signals sent by accelerometers fixed on the axles of a vehicle which passes over a bridge. The length of the bridge is divided into some parts and the transmissibility measurement is applied to the signals recorded by two following instrumented axles. As the transmissibility procedure is performed on the divided signals, the method is called Short Time ...

With the rapid development of country’s economy, a large number heavy vehicles are being used due to expansion transportation demand and increased costs. For old concrete truss-arch bridges built in last century, may hardly meet modern traffic volume. respect poor condition, it takes more time resources evaluate technical status by field load tests, there some safety risks. A finite element met...

Verification of the serviceability limit state of vibrations due to traffic live loads can be neglected in conventional types of concrete road bridges but becomes critical in the design of slender structures like Under-Deck CableStayed bridges. The novelty of the work presented in this article is that an innovative vehicle-bridge interaction model is employed, in which realistic wheel dimension...

In this paper, the effects of using semi-active control strategy (such as MR dampers) in vehicle suspensions on the coupled vibrations of a vehicle traversing a bridge are examined in order to develop various designs of smart suspension systems for bridge-friendly vehicles. The bridge-vehicle coupled system is modeled as a simply supported beam traversed by a two-degree-of-freedom quarter-car m...
