Construction on or near a bridge demands enhanced management and awareness. When construction occurs on or a near a bridge great care must be taken to ensure that a bridge always remains safe for the workers and the traveling public. In the past construction activities such as blasting, pavement breaking, rock drilling, soil compaction, pile [...]
Remote monitoring systems keep engineers connected to their distant structures. For many organizations their ability to operate efficiently is based upon the availability and performance capabilities of their unmanned, remote structures. Managing a remote structure is a challenging proposition; an effective method must have an ability to evaluate the structure, respond to unplanned events and [...]
Measuring real-world responses and comparing them to the predicted response. Before a structure is built it is designed and tested in a virtual world to verify that it will endure in the real-world and operate with an acceptable safety factor. The performance of the virtual structure is based upon the: simulated loads design calculated material [...]
Dense construction environments can cause damage to neighboring structures. Building in established neighborhoods requires contractors to consider and manage how their activities will impact nearby structures and residents. Construction activities can cause significant structural damage, personal discomfort and destroy sensitive mechanisms. Contractors are often required to measure and control how their activities will effect adjacent [...]
Periodic visual inspections are the most practical way to assess the condition of a structure; in general visual inspections survey the condition of the structure by looking for signs of deterioration, damage, as well the indicators of undesirable responses – cracks, shifts, sheared or missing features, etc.. When visually inspecting for the signs of undesirable responses, [...]
A train can weigh more than 21 million pounds and stress dozens of bridges in a single trip. Railway bridges are special bridges, when comparing railway bridges to other types of bridges it is important to recognize two key differentiators; first the live loading relative to the dead load is substantially greater, and second, the required service-life [...]
