A high-fidelity 3D FE model verified by the static load test is established to satisfy the fatigue analysis accuracy. The stress behavior of super-wide steel box girders under the vehicle load at different lane locations is investigated. Then, considering the effect of VTDM, the fatigue life analysis of four typical details is performed using the Miner cumulative damage rule. The results show that the vehicle transverse location has a great influence on the stress behavior of details with sharp influence surface, and the stress ranges in the outermost lane are larger than those in other lanes, indicating that the details of OSD in the outermost lane are prone to fatigue. The fatigue life analysis indicates that the diaphragm cutout is more prone to fatigue than other details, which should be carefully treated in bridge maintenance.","PeriodicalId":35399,"journal":{"name":"SDHM Structural Durability and Health Monitoring","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69903203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research in vibration-based damage identification has been rapidly expanding over the last few decades. The basic idea behind this technology is that modal parameters (notably frequencies, mode shapes, and modal damping) are functions of the physical properties of the structure (mass, damping, and stiffness). Therefore, changes in the physical properties will cause changes in the modal properties which could be obtained by structural health monitoring (SHM). Updating is a process fraught with numerical difficulties. These arise from inaccuracy in the model and imprecision and lack of information in the measurements, mainly taken place in joints and critical points. The motivation for the development of this technology is presented, methods are categorized according to various criteria such as the level of damage detection provided from vibration testing, natural frequency and mode shape readings are then obtained by using modal analysis techniques, which are used for updating structural parameters of the associated finite element model. The experimental studies for the laboratory tested bridge model show that the proposed model updating using ME’scope technique can provide reasonable model updating results.","PeriodicalId":35399,"journal":{"name":"SDHM Structural Durability and Health Monitoring","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69901545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to study the long-term bending behaviour of prestressed glulam bamboo-wood beam (GBWB). For this, 14 pre-stressed GBWBs were selected and subjected to a long-term loading test for 60 days. Then, a comparative analysis was performed for the effects of pretension values, the number of pre-stressed wires, and long-term load on the stress variation of the steel wire and the long-term de fl ection of the beam midspan. The test results showed that with the number of prestressed wires increasing, the total stress of the steel wire in the beam midspan and the ratio of the long-term de fl ection to the total de fl ection decreases decreased, but when the number of steel wires exceeded 4, the total stress and long-term de fl ection was less in fl uenced; with the pre-tension value increasing, the ratio of the total stress of the steel wire in the beam midspan and the ratio of the long-term de fl ection to the total de fl ection also decreased, but when the prestress force was greater than 3.975 kN, the total stress and long-term de fl ection were less affected; with the other parameters unchanged, when the value of the long-term load increased, the total stress of the steel wire decreased, and the long-term de fl ection of the beam midspan increased, which shall be more signi fi cant with the long-term load greater than 30% of the standard ultimate bearing capacity. After the test, the experimental data were fi tted, and the creep coef fi cient was given. Finally, the long-term stiffness calculation formula of the pre-stressed GBWB based on creep effect was proposed. The research fi ndings have certain theoretical signi fi cance and engineering value.","PeriodicalId":35399,"journal":{"name":"SDHM Structural Durability and Health Monitoring","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69901632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
