  • 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...

  • Design, analysis and evaluation of bridge superstructures for live loads

    Creator:
    Turan, O. Tugrul
    Abstract:
    Due to age, original design that is deficient by modern standards, inadequate maintenance, environmental conditions, and increasing loads, large numbers of bridges in United States and elsewhere are classified as deficient and in need of rehabilitation or replacement. According to a national bridge inventory established by the Federal Highway Administration,...
