Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Invited and peer-reviewed, 18 papers describe best practices in monitoring and managing the health of bridges. The examples are from China, but the ideas and methods should work wherever there is some to get to the other side of. The topics include dynamic amplification factor measuring of T-girder bridges, vehicle-bridge coupling vibration of equal-span girder bridges of different span number, detecting damage based on correlation characteristics of acceleration response, the seismic performance analysis of a multi-span continuous-girder bridge under multi-excitation, and the impact analysis of the flexural rigidity on the frequency and tension of the stay cable.
