Abstract:

Bridge management based on reliability methods permits the selection of the set of repair projects that minimizes the total network risk in a planning horizon. This approach, previously proposed by the authors, uses the Markovian model for the decay of structural components, evaluates the overall reliability of the bridge as a system, and computes risk by taking into consideration the consequences of reduced function. This paper presents important additional aspects of risk-based bridge management. First, genetic algorithms are proposed as an alternative optimization strategy; small and large

Abstract:

Abstract Visual inspection is a very simple, non-destructive technique and usual in diagnosing buildings and structures’ conditions. It also plays an important role in the rapid assessment of constructive problems as well as in the definition of an appropriate way for eventual remedial interventions. However, the use of this methodology often meets difficulties, especially when places to be inspected are difficult to access; it involves security risks for inspectors or even when a reactive inspection of urgent nature becomes unfeasible due to the high costs and the necessary means involved.

Abstract:

The mean load method of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code is used to evaluate the shear and bending moment reliability of existing precast "type G" stringer bridges in Alberta that date from the late 1950s. The overall stringer population is categorized into distinct subpopulations using bridge-specific factors, including the degree of deterioration and approach span condition, which are readily identified during a brief field visit or from inspection reports. Critical sections to be investigated for reliability resisting shear forces or bending moments are determined. The reliability in

Abstract:

Resilient design requires information about a structure’s response to a variety of exposures such that systems can be implemented to prevent unacceptable losses. For the case of critical infrastructure like bridges, losses associated with structural damage and traffic closures from fire events can be substantial. Despite this, there are no specific code requirements for bridge fire safety in different national jurisdictions, particularly in North America and Europe, and only minimal guidance available for establishing the fire resistance requirements of bridges. Research into the fire safety o

Abstract:

Fragility curve is an effective tool for identifying the potential seismic risk and consequences during and after an earthquake. Recent seismic events have shown that bridges are highly sensitive and vulnerable during earthquakes. There has been limited research to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of the existing bridges in British Columbia (BC), which could help in the decision-making process for seismic upgrade. This study focuses on developing seismic fragility curves for typical multi-span continuous concrete girder bridges in BC. Ground motions compatible with the seismic hazard were us

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to carry out the application of risk reliability-based underwater inspection (RReBUI). Design/methodology/approach The consequence of failure factor is calculated qualitatively in accordance with the risk-based underwater inspection (RBUI) method but the criteria are modified as an adjustment to the addition and combination of production and reliability information of the analyzed platforms. The probability of failure (PoF) is determined quantitatively by calculating the structure reliability index based on collapse failure mechanism in which the uncertaint

Abstract:

Purpose – Deterioration of timber bridges can often be related to a number of deficiencies in the bridge elements, connectors and/or as a result of been in aggressive environments which they are exposed to. The maintenance cost of timber bridges is affected significantly by a number of deterioration mechanisms which require a systematic approach for diagnosis and treatment. Evaluating the risk of failure of these bridges is of importance in bridge performance assessment and decision making to optimize rehabilitation options. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Abstract:

Abstract A reliable novel monitoring approach is developed to assess the structural condition of reinforced-concrete bridge elements. The approach is based on combining acoustic emission technique and strain gauge measurements, and it is illustrated by a case study of a composite steel–concrete viaduct in service since 1957. Monitoring was performed on its reinforced-concrete deck slab under traffic and environmental loading for one year. The monitoring setup and procedure are presented. The variation of acoustic emission signals is evaluated regarding strain and temperature measurements. Para

Abstract:

Wood transmission structures, such as H frames, have been extensively used to support electrical transmission lines throughout Canada. The transmission infrastructure is in general aging, and fungal decay of wood crossarms poses a significant risk of failure under adverse weather conditions. A crossarm failure in the transmission system can result in forced outages and customer disruptions that lead to significant economic losses. This paper presents a condition assessment model to prioritize the replacement of transmission crossarms that are near the end of their service life. The proposed st

Abstract:

The 465 m span Annacis cable-stayed bridge, currently under construction near Vancouver, British Columbia, will be the longest cable-stayed span in the world when it is completed in 1986. As this bridge is partially founded on soft delta deposits and is located within 80 km of a seismic source zone, its design has required careful consideration of earthquake effects. This paper reports the seismic analytical and design approaches adopted for the foundations and superstructure of the bridge. Details covered include dynamic modelling of the subsoil layers, correlation of measured surface acceler
