Abstract:
Maritime management is a crucial concern for movable bridge safety. Irregular management of water vehicles near movable bridges may lead to collision among ships and bridge infrastructures, causing massive losses of life and property. The paper presents a theoretical framework and simulation of an intelligent water vehicle management system for movable bridges corresponding to vehicle traffic responses. The water regime around the bridge is considered in virtually separated domains to estimate the desired safety actions based on the position of the approaching ships. An emergency clash avoidance control system is represented to prevent ship-infrastructure collision and ensure transportation safety. In addition, a simulation platform is developed specifically adaptable for movable bridge maritime and dynamic traffic management. The proposed theory is experimented using the simulation platform for different ship speeds and bridge-vehicle traffic volumes. Based on analyzing the velocity profile of approaching ships at different incidents, the bridge is found incapable of evacuating vehicles and unable to open promptly in case of speeding ships and high traffic density of vehicles on the bridge. Computational results show that the emergency control system is effective in reducing ship speed and prevent certain collisions. Lastly, the transportation policy for the newly proposed maritime management system is validated by real-world implementation in movable bridges across the world.

Abstract:
Bridge damage reports from the 2001 Nisqually earthquake were correlated with estimates of ground-motion intensity at each bridge site (obtained from ShakeMaps) and with bridge properties listed in the Washington State Bridge Inventory. Of the ground-motion parameters considered, the percentage of bridges damaged correlated best with the spectral acceleration at a period of 0.3 s. Bridges constructed before the 1940s, movable bridges, and older trusses were particularly vulnerable. These bridge types were underestimated by the HAZUS procedure, which categorizes movable bridges and older trusses as “other” bridges. An inspection prioritization strategy was developed that combines ShakeMaps, the bridge inventory and newly developed fragility curves. For the Nisqually earthquake, this prioritization strategy would have made it possible to identify 80% of the moderately damaged bridges by inspecting only 481 (14%) of the 3,407 bridges within the boundaries of the ShakeMap. To identify these bridges using a prioritization strategy based solely on epicentral distance, it would have been necessary to inspect 1,447 (42%) bridges. To help the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) rapidly identify damaged bridges, the prioritization procedure has been incorporated within the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) ground-motion processing and notification software.

Abstract:
The friction force at movable supports has a certain influence on the seismic performance of the continuous beam bridge, so, the friction force should be taken into account in the seismic design of the bridges. The analytic model of the continuous bridge which including the effects of friction force at movable supports was put forward, and the analysis was done with the application of friction element. Through the analysis of a certain continuous beam bridge, the results indicate that the friction force can greatly decrease the earthquake action of this continuous beam bridge. And some suggestion on the bearing selection and the anti-seismic measure were also put forward according to the analysis.

Abstract:
A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. There are many different designs that all serve unique purposes and apply to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. Bridges can be categorized in several different ways. Common categories include the type of structural elements used, by what they carry, whether they are fixed or movable, and by the materials used.

Abstract:
Movable engineering structures are an important topic of modern scientific issues connected with civil engineering. Working on solutions to these issues requires an interdisciplinary action in fields such as geometry, construction, machine theory and mechanics or automatics. The author work considers class II mechanisms in existing solutions that occur in moving engineering, such as retractable roofs and bridges. Movement realization has a major influence on the behaviour of the structure during displacement. The analysis of the movability of existing engineering objects supported by parametric modelling facilitates the study of movement and allows for new concepts of solutions. KEYWORDS: retractable roof, movable bridge, class II mechanisms, quadrangles.

Abstract:
Although located in the very low intensity area, the superstructure of Daxinglu Ramp Bridge sustained huge damage in Wenchuan earthquake. The longitudinal displacement of superstructure at the joint was about 400mm, which outdistanced the average displacement of all the other bridges in this area. In this paper, finite element model of the ramp bridge is made by general FEA software and the damage of the ramp bridge is analyzed by using nonlinear dynamic time history method. The results are obtained as follow: (1) the displacements restriction capacity of bearing system is reduced greatly by setting too many movable pot rubber bearings in the bridge. (2) The earthquake record near the bridge site is a typical long period ground motion. The extended natural period of the damaged bridge absorbed more but not less energy from the long period ground motion, which aggravated the damage.

Full text
Abstract:
The overall stability of a movable high-strength inverted-triangular steel bridge is worth studying because of its new truss structure. In this study, an approach was proposed based on the stiffness equivalence principle in which the inverted-triangle truss structure was modeled as a thin-walled triangular beam. On this basis, the calculation of the critical load of elastic stability of a movable high-strength inverted-triangular steel bridge with variable rigidity at both ends and locally uniformly distributed load was carried out based on the energy theory, which was in good agreement with existing theories. A material performance test at BS700 was carried out to establish the material properties, and then a finite element model of the bridge was established, the results of which were compared with those of the experimental load test, in order to verify the accuracy of the finite element model. Considering material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity, nonlinear buckling analysis of the bridge was conducted and the factors influencing the bridge’s ultimate bearing capacity were analyzed.

Abstract:
A direct comparison of complex systems of forces occurring in the schemes loads of railway bridges is not possible. Each of the systems of movable forces of load bridge has a different structure and different geometrical parameters. Only bringing such a system into one type, for example dummy load, enables to compare the effectiveness of selected groups of loads. The multiplier load of two criteria analysis and assuming static scheme bridge elements in the form of a simply supported beam were applied in this study. The results of the comparative analysis: operational and standard loads adopted for the design, indicate that most of their effective-ness in the event of short elements (transoms and stringers) and small bridges span. In these types of elements poor representation of load model and design for locomotives operated on lines of the Polish State Railways was demonstrated.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a monitoring method for a three-coil wireless power transfer (WPT) system, which consists of a transmitting coil (Tx), a relay coil and a movable receiving coil (Rx). Both an ideal resistance and a rectifier bridge load are taken into account. Design/methodology/approach From the perspective of fundamental component, the equivalent impedance of a rectifier bridge load is well analyzed. On the basis of the circuit model of a three-coil WPT, estimation equations of the variable mutual inductances and load condition are deduced. Multi-frequency input impedance obtained by frequency scans combined with the Newton-Raphson method are used to obtain solutions. Findings Experimental results indicate that the estimated parameter values are close to each other when different sets of source frequencies are applied. When compared with simulation results, these estimated parameters including both mutual inductances and load resistances are found to be accurate. Originality/value Using only the information of input side, the proposed algorithm can estimate the mutual inductances and load resistance regardless of the Rx positions. Estimation is feasible for the system with a rectifier bridge load. The estimated analysis will serve as a key step in load power stabilization for WPT systems.

Abstract:
Abstract The Movable Scaffolding System (MSS) is a heavy construction equipment used for casting situ of concrete bridge decks. In the past decades, MSSs have become increasingly complex and industrialized, enlarging its span ranges, incorporating auxiliary elevation machinery and increasing productivity. The tendency nowadays is for strong reutilization and the notion of MSS as a disposable or temporary structure is somehow reductive. The main structure of MSSs may be potentially exposed to fatigue, usually characterized by low number of cycles with significant stress amplitude. Fatigue may be prevented through adequate design; judicious selection of materials; demanding quality control and implementation of robust inspection and maintenance plans.

Abstract:
Construction of bridges span-by-span with Movable Scaffolding Systems (MSSs) is a very efficient and competitive technology. Normally used for spans between 25 and 70m, the technology has allowed reaching longer spans due to technological advances, specifically in bridge construction equipment. Thereby, the use of MSS has become widespread and well-accepted in a large number of locations across the USA and Europe. Nevertheless, despite its extended application, there is no single specific code provision that can explain, control, and give recommendations about all aspects of MSS during its design and usage. On the contrary, the information is spread over several documents. This paper aims at bridging this gap by providing an extensive review of code provisions and recommendations that can be valid for the MSS design. Applicability of these documents is discussed by analysing loads, safety factors, load combinations, limit states, as well as structural analysis and design. After this, a proposal of a design basis for MSS is presented for each aspect mentioned following provisions and recommendations of the considered codes.

Abstract:
This paper is focused on displacement monitoring of a bridge, which is one of the key aspects of its structural health monitoring. A simplified Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) approach is used to monitor the displacements of the Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River High-speed Railway Bridge (China). This bridge is 1272&amp;thinsp;m long and hosts a total of 6 railway lines. The analysis was based on a set of twenty-nine Sentinel-1A images, acquired from April 2015 to August 2016. A dense set of measurement points were selected on the bridge. The PSI results show a maximum longitudinal displacement of 150&amp;thinsp;mm, on each side of the bridge. The displacements are strongly correlated with the temperature, showing that they are due to thermal expansion. Using the PSI results, the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of the whole bridge was estimated. The result agrees well with the CTE of the bridge materials. Using a regression model, the PSI-measured displacements were compared with in-situ measurements. The paper proposes a procedure to assess the performance of the movable bearings of the bridge, which is based on the PSI measurements.

According to mechanical characteristics of welded turnout on continuous-slab-track and bridge, an integrated turnout/track slab/beam/pier finite element model was established to analyze the interaction between welded turnouts on continuous-slab-track and bridge. The study focused on No.18 turnout (60kg/m rail) with movable frog being laid on a (32+48+32) m continuous beam, expansion additional force and braking additional force of the turnout were calculated when the temperature dropped. The results show that the longitudinal interaction between welded turnouts on continuous-slab-track and bridge is small, which presents a reasonable structure type of welded turnout on bridge; in calculation of the expansion force, when the temperature drops, the shrinkage and creep of the base-slab and longitudinal stiffness reduction caused by the cracking are considered, so the results are more representative than those from the case of rising temperature. Therefore, the case of temperature dropping should be the main concern in design; under the action of the braking force, stress and deformation of each component within this turnout/bridge system are comparatively large.

ABSTRACTPT Buana Masa Metalindo focuses on providing metal fabrication for various industrial sectors, such asoil, gas, mining, industry and automotive. The current ongoing project is girder bridge. A girder bridge isa high quality light steel frame bridge, which is movable and is very strategic in supporting constructionworks. The issue lies on the project timefram which can be finished in accordance to the time shift set at42 days in the beginning, to 35 days. PERT-CPM method can be utilizied to manage project working timebecome more efficient and effective. In order to reduce the impact of the project delay and cost overruns,three alternative methods can be drawn; (i) additional workforce/labours, (ii) working overtime, and (iii)subcontracting. Acceleration of duration is done on the activities at the critical path and total days thatgiven on each alternative is equaled. Result showed that additional workforces/labours alternativefigured out the optimal time to finish the project which 35 days with projects total cost Rp48,650,000.00.Keyword: effectivity, probability.

Abstract:
There are significant engineering challenges in placing the sea-crossing bridge piers in more or les shallow coastal waters because, as well as having to withstand storm-force waves and tidal currents, the bridge piers have to remain stable on a sea bed that may be continuously changing. One of the major challenges faced by designers is how to predict, and prevent, scour of the seabed sediments around the sea-crossing bridge piers. This paper describes a physical model study on scour and scour countermeasure for sea-crossing bridge piers. A 1:49 scale movable bed model tests were carried out in the Near-shore Wave Basin (NSWB, 27m x 19m) at the Tainan Hydraulics Laboratory, National Chang Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, with the sea-crossing bridge piers in the test area. Three series of physical model tests were performed in this study. The aim of the first test series is to investigate the maximum scour depth for the initial construction of bridge piers with only one pier model. Then the second test series were conducted to investigate the greatest magnitude of local scour and potential scour area in the sand bed around the sea-crossing bridge group piers with no scour protection. Based on the analysis from the former NSWB experimental results, the suitable scour countermeasure for sea-crossing bridge piers would be proposed and validated its function of preventing scour in the third test series.

Abstract:
The construction of prestressed concrete bridges has witnessed a steep increase for the past 50 years worldwide. The constructed bridges exposed to various environmental conditions deteriorate all along their service life. One such degradation is corrosion, which can cause significant damage if it occurs on the main structural components, such as prestressing tendons. In this study, a novel non-destructive evaluation method to incorporate a movable yoke system with denoising algorithm based on kernel principal component analysis is developed and applied to identify the loss of cross-sectional area in corroded external prestressing tendons. The proposed method using denoised output voltage signals obtained from the measuring device appears to be a reliable and precise monitoring system to detect corrosion with less than 3% sectional loss.

Abstract:
Abstract Background and study aims Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) have been widely used for left-sided colorectal obstruction. Few studies on SEMS placement for right-sided colonic obstructions have been reported because stenting in the right colon is technically difficult, particularly in the ileocecal region. We present 4 cases of successful bridge-to-surgery stenting for ileocecal cancer. Using an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography catheter with a movable tip and a decompression tube was effective for stenting. No adverse events occurred during or after SEMS placement in any of these cases. Short-term stenting for ileocecal cancer seems to be effective and safe.

Abstract:
A numerical algorithm for solving initial-boundary value problems with nonlinear boundary conditions was developed and implemented. The algorithm is constructed with reference to modeling of oscillations of an elastically supported deformable rod with limit stops at the ends under the action of a moving variable force. Such a rod is the design scheme of a number of building structures, including the span structure of a floating bridge of continuous system with limiting rigid supports at the ends. Chebyshev's polynomials were used to improve the computational schemes for realizing the practical problems of modeling constructive-nonlinear oscillations of building structures. The solution does not lose stability for large values of the elasticity coefficients of elastic couplings. Using the developed approach, it is possible to perform virtual computing experiments to skip a variety of movable loads on the floating bridge to analyze its deformed state and to make well-grounded design decisions.

Abstract:
To investigate the optimal longitudinal seismic energy dissipation system of straddle-type monorail-cum-road long-span cable-stayed bridges, the Niutianyang Bridge was selected as the engineering background, and the explicit time-domain dimension-reduced iteration method was adopted to carry out nonlinear time-history analysis. To consider the dynamic characteristics of longitudinal movable supports, the static and dynamic responses of four kinds of energy dissipation systems were studied, including longitudinal unconstrained, elastic cable, viscous damper, and speed lock-up devices. The damping effect of four types of schemes in which viscous dampers were installed at piers or towers was analysed, and the parameters of the viscous dampers were optimised. The influences of the straddle-type monorail train braking force and the running vibration of the straddle-type monorail traffic on the parameters of the viscous dampers were analysed. This study shows that the viscous damper system had the lowest bending moment at the bottom of the tower and a smaller displacement response, and the energy dissipation was the best. Each viscous damper had the highest energy dissipation efficiency when they are installed only at the main tower. The damping effect was better when the damping coefficient c ranged from 3500 to 5000 kN⋅m/s−α and the velocity exponent α ranged from 0.35 to 0.5. The static friction of the straddle-type monorail-cum-road long-span cable-stayed bridge support can resist the trains’ braking force, and the parameters of the viscous damper can be selected regardless of train braking. A suitably large value of velocity exponent α may be required to increase the working velocity of the viscous damper to reduce the damper’s participation in the process of the train crossing the bridge.

Abstract:
Sand mining in an active alluvial channel can compromise the streambed stability of the hydraulic structures nearby. This experimental study is aimed at investigating the effects of rectangular mining pit on the morphodynamics around circular tandem piers in a movable bed. A rectangular pit is excavated upstream of two circular piers embedded in the sand-bed in a tandem arrangement. The results are then compared to a case having only the piers without any mining pit. Turbulent stresses and mean velocities in the near-bed region rise significantly at the upstream region of the piers in the presence of a pit. Also, stronger flow reversal and horseshoe vortices have been detected at the base of the pier front. Due to these alterations in the nature of turbulence, erosion of channel beds upstream of the piers, increased scour depths, scour volume, and lateral erosion of the scour hole have been observed. Dynamic evolution of the local scour at various time scales has been studied using a wavelet cross-correlation method. Spatial evolution of local scour is found to be faster when a pit is excavated in the channel. Thus, mining activities near the piers can lead to significant changes in the flow-field, causing excessive scour around piers.
