Seven reinforced concrete (RC) beams were designed and subjected to different levels of damage and strengthened using the proposed ACUHPC. Flexural experiments were performed, and corresponding finite element (FE) models were developed to investigate the flexural performance of the strengthened beams. The influence of the level of damage and thickness of the ACUHPC strengthening layer on the response of the beams was evaluated. The scope of application of the proposed ACUHPC strengthening method, suggestions for its implementation, and methods for estimating the flexural capacity and mid-span deflection of the strengthened beams are presented herein. The results indicated that using the ACUHPC can significantly increase the flexural capacity and effectively decrease the deflections and maximum crack width of the strengthened beams. Furthermore, the flexural capacity of the most severely damaged beam was enhanced by 36.3% after strengthening.Keywords: Ambient-cured ultra-high performance concretedamaged beamsdeflectionsflexural behaviourreinforced concrete beamsstrengthening Disclosure statementThe authors declare that there is no any competing interest for this study.Additional informationFundingAuthors acknowledge the financial support provided by the Industry-university Cooperation Project of Fujian Province, China (Grant No. 2022H6032); the Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province, China (Grant No. 2020J05184); and National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 52378494).","PeriodicalId":49468,"journal":{"name":"Structure and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":" 613","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135186092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frangopol","doi":"10.1080/15732479.2023.2276373","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15732479.2023.2276373","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractTo estimate the connectivity of a road network, it is crucial to evaluate the correlation of hazard intensities among individual bridge locations since the probability of multiple bridges being damaged simultaneously depends on the degree of this correlation. However, research on connectivity assessment of bridge networks considering spatial correlations associated with flood intensities is scarce in the literature. When quantifying the spatial correlation of flood intensities, modeling based on the stream distance rather than the Euclidean distance is required, taking into account that river flow is restricted only within the stream network. To achieve this purpose, a novel methodology is proposed to evaluate the spatial correlation of a stream network based on a geostatistical linear model and stream network covariance models. In addition, this study considers the spatial correlation of seismic hazard intensity. With the proposed method, it is possible to identify which bridges play an important role in ensuring the connectivity of the road network under multiple hazards, i.e. flood and seismic. As an illustrative example, the proposed method is applied to a hypothetical bridge network in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The results demonstrate that improved network connectivity can be achieved by implementing a relevant retrofitting strategy for important bridges.Keywords: Network connectivitybridgesspatial correlationmultiple hazardsflood hazardseismic hazardMonte Carlo simulation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI (Grant number: 23H00217) and JST-JICA SATREPS (Grant ID: JPMJSA2009).","PeriodicalId":49468,"journal":{"name":"Structure and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":" 622","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135186236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the construction cost of implementing this advanced technique to real-life buildings compared to the conventional ones remains a debatable topic, and a research problem to examine. Therefore, the present study focuses on assessing the short- and long-term cost-benefits of base-isolated buildings vis-é-vis fixed-base buildings over their service life. Notably, the benefit-cost analysis methodology prescribed in FEMA-356 is utilized to quantify the economic consequences of natural calamities on the base-isolated building. Various aspects, such as structural responses, damage vulnerability, collapse probability, and occupancy rate are thoroughly analyzed. A real-life mid-rise reinforced concrete building in the Indian subcontinent, having double-curvature friction pendulum bearings (FPBs) at stilt level is deliberated in this study. A series of quasi-static and nonlinear time-history analyses are carried out based on the recently drafted Indian seismic code for base isolation to comprehend the improved performance of the FPB-isolated building. Additionally, two fixed-base buildings are designed with an aim to make their performance almost at par with the base-isolated building, and then to assess the cost implications of attaining such comparable performance. The outcomes of this study, particularly the structural performance enhancement and cost benefits, will assist both decision makers and structural designers to have a persuasive opinion on the better adaptability of the base isolation technology for improved seismic resistance and financial outlooks associated thereof.Keywords: Friction pendulum bearingIndian seismic code and provisionsperformance-based seismic designBenefit-cost analysisLoss estimationPassive vibration control Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe financial support extended by M/s Resistoflex Dynamics Private Limited, Sector 2, NOIDA, Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) – 201 301, India in conducting the present study is gratefully acknowledged.","PeriodicalId":49468,"journal":{"name":"Structure and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":" 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135290602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a practical example, this article presents an ICT-based bridge remote monitoring system called the \"Intelligent Bridge,\" which allows real-time monitoring and control during extreme events such as earthquakes and typhoons. The Intelligent Bridge comprises a stand-alone monitoring system and a web-based internet monitoring system for bridge maintenance, which is introduced as an intelligent structure integrated into the intelligent bridge system. To verify the validity of the proposed system, it is investigated the ability to adjust cable forces on a 2-span continuous cable-stayed bridge model to control its structural performance. The development of an intelligent bridge system represents a significant advancement in bridge engineering and has the potential to improve the safety and longevity of bridges, particularly in areas prone to extreme environmental events.

Machine learning (ML) models use historical bridge performance data to learn and predict performance. However, in many agencies, the condition history of bridges is limited and does not go beyond a few years. The question, therefore, is, to what extent does condition history help us make better predictions? To address this question, a ML model was developed that analysed more than 600,000 bridge decks with 27 years of condition history. Two data selection methods were designed: non-overlapping and overlapping data. The non-overlapping data are typically used to train the model. The overlapping data introduced in this study uses the data more efficiently for model training recognising that strings of historical data convey more information. Longer term predictions were found to be positively impacted by every additional year of condition history. Short-term condition prediction (one or two years) does not need significant historical data. It was also found that overlapping data, compared to non-overlapping data, produced larger training samples and had higher prediction accuracy in the majority of experiments, but at the cost of higher running time due to a larger sample size.Keywords: Artificial intelligencebig datainfrastructure asset managementmachine learningbridge structure deteriorationbridge conditionneural networkperformance prediction Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":49468,"journal":{"name":"Structure and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conclusion, downstream of all these analyses and with the comparison of the real-life experiments, was to allow a limited extension of the useful life of the bridge, even with some reductions in the safety factor, respecting a reduction in the speed of railway trains and prescribing continuous monitoring of the bridge. In this context, all the test evaluations, combined with the surveillance/monitoring, and joined with an important numerical modelling activity, lead to the concept of “structural augmentation” of the bridge for service life extension purposes.
