Monitoring and Fatigue Analysis of Suspension Bridge Rocker Arms
The South Channel Bridge was first opened in 1958 in Cornwall, Ontario and is a suspension bridge with a total length of 1061 metres and a roadway width of 8.2 metres. It links the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory to the United States and Canada across the St. Lawrence River. The stiffening truss of the …

Energy harvesting from wind-induced vibration of suspension bridges
… weight of 2 kg is proposed to be installed on a suspension bridge deck to harvest energy and to control the motion of the bridge deck. The feasibility of the installation of the device is studied with respect to the amount of energy that could be harvested. The commercial software SAP2000 was …

Orb weaver capture thread biomechanics and evolution
… fibers bow and the droplets extend, forming a suspension bridge configuration whose biomechanics sum the adhesion of droplets and dissipate the energy of struggling insects. Given this performance, the second study predicts that the material properties of both thread components have evolved in …

Carbon nanotubes and their application to very long span bridges
Spanning long distances in bridge construction relies mainly on the structure's efficiency and materials used. Whereas structural design for high rise building is fast-expanding, the overall design of long span bridges has not progressed significantly, and the increase in span chiefly depends of …

The application of parallel computer technology to the dynamic analysis of suspension bridges
… onset of aerodynamic instabilities in long span suspension bridge structures, such as flutter which is a catastrophic aeroelastic phenomena. The thesis is set out in two distinct parts:- Part I, presents the theoretical background of the main forms of aerodynamic instabilities, presenting in …

The Dynamics of Rigid Bodies on Moving Deformable Support Media
… loads in the wires of the main cable of a suspension bridge is presented. Examples illustrate the robustness of the method and the special properties associated with pressure loads.

Inventing the Charles River Basin : urban images and civic discourse in Boston, 1844-1994
… would also build the world's widest cable-stayed suspension bridge across the Charles River. In the course of the highway's design, more scientific analysis was brought to bear on the highway and its effects on the Charles River than Gourlay, Baxter, or Eliot could have imagined. Yet the unifying …

Advancements in Satellite SAR Methods for Monitoring Civil Infrastructure
… used for land monitoring, its application to bridge monitoring is still constrained by important limitations of the technique. Moreover, the use of SAR imagery for vibration-based structural health monitoring (VBSHM) remains largely unexplored in the current literature. This thesis …

Characterization of Dynamic Structures Using Parametric and Non-parametric System Identification Methods
… Second, the responses of a full-scale suspension bridge in a ship-bridge collision accident were analyzed to characterize the dynamic properties of the bridge. Three parametric and non-parametric identification methods, NExT-ERA, PCA and ICA were used to process the bridge response data …
