Wavelet-based operating deflection shapes for locating scour-related stiffness losses in multi-span bridges

Eugene J. OBrien et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new method to detect multiple scour locations using wavelet-based analysis. By measuring the accelerations at each support point of a multi-span bridge, the method estimates the scour location through frequency-spatial domain transformation and introduces a damage indicator to differentiate healthy and scoured pier locations.

Review of Hydraulic Bridge Failures: Historical Statistic Analysis, Failure Modes, and Prediction Methods

Wen Xiong et al.

Summary: Hydraulic factors have become the main causes of bridge failures since the 1990s, accounting for about 50% of failures in the authors' database. These failures occur without early warning and have destructive consequences, which are expected to continue due to climate change. This paper provides a comprehensive review of hydraulic bridge failures caused by scour, flood, and floe ices, including historical statistics, failure modes, prediction methods, and current practices. It aims to equip researchers and engineers with the necessary information to understand the mechanisms and address the issues of hydraulic bridge failures.

On the Morphodynamics of a Wide Class of Large-Scale Meandering Rivers: Insights Gained by Coupling LES With Sediment-Dynamics

Ali Khosronejad et al.

Summary: The interaction between flow, sediment transport, and bed topography plays a crucial role in the formation of bedforms and channel migration in meandering rivers. Predicting these interactions is vital for river engineering and geoscience research. Researchers conducted simulations to study the morphodynamics and bed deformation in 42 meandering rivers with different planform shapes. The simulations revealed the formation of scour and deposition patterns near the outer and inner banks and the variation of point bars and scour regions around the meander bends.

Characterization of the road profile and the rotational stiffness of supports in a bridge based on axle accelerations of a crossing vehicle

Kun Feng et al.

Summary: In order to find more cost-effective and proactive ways to maintain bridges, the use of instrumented vehicles has gained interest. This paper investigates the use of axle accelerations from an ordinary two-axle vehicle to quantify rotational stiffness and road irregularities. The algorithm is successfully tested and proven to be robust to modeling inaccuracies and noisy data.

Parametric reduced order models for output-only vibration-based crack detection in shell structures

Konstantinos Agathos et al.

Summary: In this work, parametric reduced order models (pROMs) were developed for cracked shells and applied to crack detection problems. Mesh morphing was used for parameterization of the models with respect to crack location and size, and a clustering approach was adopted to partition the parameter space into sub-domains with efficient local reduced order models. The proposed ROMs were then utilized as forward simulators for identifying crack locations within an inverse problem setting.

Jinzhao Li et al.

Summary: This paper presents a numerical investigation on tsunami-induced scour around bridge piers, showing that the scour depth highly depends on the tsunami period and peak velocity. The study demonstrates that a reliable CFD model can accurately predict the scour development and final depth, offering a practical engineering methodology to estimate tsunami-induced pier scour.

Spectrum-matched ground motion selection method based on Siamese Convolutional Neural Networks

Guochen Zhao et al.

Summary: Selecting spectrum-matched ground motions is a critical problem in seismic analysis and design. The commonly used sum of square errors (SSE) is inadequate in capturing the two-dimensional plane feature of response spectrum. In this study, a new method based on Siamese Convolutional Neural Networks (SCNNs) is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves satisfactory training results, with the selected ground motions matching the target spectrum. Compared to existing methods, the proposed method has a smaller standard deviation.

Time-Frequency-Based Bridge Scour Identification by Trend-Change Detection

Wen Xiong et al.

Summary: A bridge scour identification method based on time-frequency analysis and probabilistic trend change detection is proposed in this paper. The method reveals the trend change induced by scour by considering the random variations in the natural frequencies caused by interference. It is effective in identifying scour and does not require underwater devices and operations, making it convenient to integrate into a bridge structural health monitoring system.
