Paper “Gradient-based algorithmic cross-frame cross-section optimization for skewed steel I-girder integral abutment bridge deck placement response” has appeared in Engineering Structures. This paper presents a first trail to adopt gradient-based structural optimization strategies in bridge design and analysis to achieve cross-frame cross-section optimization for skewed steel I-girder bridges with integral abutments (IABs). The optimized design […]
Papers “Field and Numerical Evaluations of Static and Dynamic Live Load Response in Skewed Steel I-Girder Bridges with Stub and Integral Abutments” and “Evaluating Support Representation and Modeling Strategy for Skewed Steel I-Girder Integral Abutment Bridges during Deck Placement” have appeared in the Journal of Bridge Engineering. The “Field and Numerical Evaluation” paper documents a portion […]
