  • Parametric uncertainties in reliability analysis of bridge structures

    Creator:
    Hamutcuoglu, Osman Murat
    Abstract:
    Probability-based reliability methods have placed an increased emphasis on realistic simulation of structural behavior in bridge engineering. Uncertainty is present in every aspect of structural analysis. Aleatory uncertainties in the loading and load-carrying capacities, and epistemic uncertainties in mathematical idealization of bridge systems are the major contributors to uncertain structural...

  • Large-scale laboratory observations of wave forces on a highway bridge superstructure

    Creator:
    Bradner, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The experimental setup and data are presented for a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a highway bridge superstructure. The experiments measure wave conditions along with the resulting forces, pressures, and structural response of a 1:5 scale, reinforced concrete model of a typical section of the I-10...
