In the first stage when the through experiments in two 30th floor of the northwest tower and the 38th floor of the southeast tower were finished, the traffic flows on the roads surrounding the building were investigated, and 27 setups of accelerations were measured at the roadside, on the pile cap and on the 9th floor. In the second stage when the whole steel structure was completed, l 5 setups of accelerations were measured at the roadside, on the pile cap and on the 37th and the 48th floors. The accelerations of the building under different traffic flows, in different positions are analyzed in both time domain and frequency domain. The damping ratios are estimated by the upgraded half-power bandwidth method.展开更多

It is necessary to use BHM information efficiently to assess the working conditions of the bridge. The main objective of this study is to develop an effective method and establish a framework for the real-time reliability assessment based on BHM acceleration information. The first-passage probability and its further development have been proposed to as- sess the reliability probability. The first-passage probability shows the probability of that a scalar process exceeds a designated threshold during a given time interval. The advantage of the proposed method is the assessment of the real-time reliability probability based on the monitoring information during an assessment reference period. Furthermore, the velocity data and displacement data are calculated from the acceleration monitoring data using the relationships between their power spectral density （PSD） functions. The real-time reliability assessment of Donghai Bridge, which is the first large scale cross-sea bridge in China, demonstrates that the proposed method is efficient and effective.展开更多

Observations from experimental data clearly show that the acceleration curves are characterized by a double-peak structure. The first agitated peak can be attributed to a shock process where sand responds elastically, and the valley bottom in the double-peak structure is related to a limited plastic load when a fully plastic region is formed in the sand, while the second agitated peak corresponds to a the occurrence of the maximum of viscous force in a homogeneous developed bulk flow. We use slip line theory (SL) developed in plastic mechanics to capture the value at the valley bottom, adopt the double shearing theory (DS), together with a Local Rheological Constitutive Law (LRCL) suggested in this paper, to capture the drag force generated in a homogeneous bulk flow. Good agreements in the comparisons between numerical and experimental results support the characteristic resistance by the cylinder to predict granular states.展开更多
