Influence of Bridge Parameters on Finite Element Modeling of Slab on Girder Bridges
The present study is part of the Long Term Bridge Performance Program (LTBP) funded by the Federal Highway Administration. The objectives of this program are to create a comprehensive database of quantitative information of the long-term performance of selected pilot bridges and to develop a …

Piezoelectric based energy harvesting on low frequency vibrations of civil infrastructures
… energy harvesting is an efficient way to convert ambient vibration energy into usable electric energy. The piezoelectric harvester can work as a sustainable and green power source for different electric devices such as sensors and implanted medical devices. However, its application on civil …

Response of Continuous Steel I-Girder Bridges Subject to Temperature Variation
Thermal deformation of the superstructure in continuous slab-on-girder bridges must be freely permitted to avoid potential adverse behavior due to the development of thermal forces. The use of fixed and guided bearings can introduce a significant amount of restraint against thermal deformation …

Integration of Traffic and Structural Health Monitoring Systems Using A Novel Nothing-On-Road (NOR) Bridge-Weigh-In-Motion (BWIM) System
Bridges are vital components of the U.S. transportation network. However, every year, the transportation agencies report a large number of aging bridges that are structurally damaged. Also, evolving traffic and particularly the overloaded traversing traffic can threaten the bridges' integrity and …
