The continuous monitoring of loads applied to structures and the system response is very important for structural health monitoring. For civil engineering structures, the [...]

This paper investigates the dynamic effect of the train-bridge interaction on the bridge. The results of a moving load model are compared to those of an analysis of dynam [...]

In this paper, a wavelet Galerkin finite element method is proposed by combing the wavelet analysis with traditional finite element method to analyze wave propagation phe [...]

The seismic response of the skew bridges with rubber bearing is studied. In Taiwan, simply-supported PCI bridges are widely used with rubber bearing pads as a supporting [...]
