Bridge Health Monitoring, Maintenance and Safety

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).This project encompasses various aspects of bridge health-monitoring, maintenance and safety. It specifically deals with: bridge health-monitoring; bridge repair and rehabilitation issues; bridge-related safety and other implications.The objective of the project is to introduce recent research results into the fields of bridge health monitoring, bridge maintenance and safety. It should be required reading not only for civil and mechanical engineers, but also municipal functionaries.Intended for engineering graduate students and infrastructure maintenance managers, this slim volume presents current scholarship in the monitoring, maintenance and repair of a variety of types of bridges. The work includes ten papers by Chinese researchers and engineers discussing such topics as modal testing under varying temperature conditions, fatigue reliability analysis, nonlinear seismic response analysis, and seismic testing on long-span concrete-filled steel tubular arch bridges. Papers focus on practical engineering analysis and testing and include numerous graphs and equations analyzing example data. This volume is distributed in the US by Enfield.
