Bridge Load Testing: State-of-The-Practice
No full textBridge load testing can answer a variety of questions about bridge behavior that cannot be answered otherwise. The current governing codes and guidelines for bridge load testing in the United States are the 1998 NCHRP Manual for Bridge Rating through Load Testing and Chapter 8 of the AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation. Over the last two decades, the practice of load testing has evolved, and its intersections with other fields have expanded. The outcomes of load tests have been used to keep bridges open cost-effectively without unnecessarily restricting legal loads, when theoretical analyses cannot yield insights representative of in-service performance. Load testing data can be further used to develop field-verified finite-element models of tested bridges to understand these structures better. In addition, structural reliability concepts can be used to estimate the probability of failure based on the results of load tests, and noncontact measurement techniques capturing large surfaces of bridges allow for better monitoring of structural responses. Given these developments, a new Transportation Research Board (TRB) Circular, Primer on Bridge Load Testing, has been developed. This document contains new proposals for interpreting the results of diagnostic load tests, loading protocols, and the determination of bridge load ratings based on the results of proof load tests. In addition, included provisions provide an estimation of the resulting reliability index and the remaining service life of a bridge based on load testing results. The benefit of load testing is illustrated based on a cost-benefit analysis. The current state-of-The-practice has demonstrated that load testing is an effective means for answering many important questions regarding bridge behavior that are critical to decisions on bridge maintenance or replacement. Load testing has evolved over its history, and the newly developed TRB Circular reflects this evolution in a practical way. Accepted Author ManuscriptConcrete Structure

PERBANDINGAN PROFESI ARSITEK DALAM SISTEM HUKUM INDONESIA DAN MALAYSIA
No full textPembangunan tidak sekedar menjadi tanggungjawab pemerintah setempat tetapi bagaimana peran arsitek sebagai perencana dan pengembang seperti halnya dokter, akuntan dan pengacara, arsitek adalah profesi yang menjual jasanya kepada masyarakat. Keberadaan arsitek diakui untuk mengurusi segala permasalahan mengenai rancangan bangununan, mulai dari penyusunan konsep perancangan hingga pengawasan berkala sampai akhirnya menjadi sebuah produk arsitektural. Selain itu, seorang arsitek juga mempunyai tanggung jawab secara moral seumur hidup terhadap karya-karyanya. Bagi seorang arsitek merupakan hal yang mutlak untuk dapat menggambarkan idea, gagasan atau imajinasinya tentang dikuasai bangunan yang direncanakan. Untuk menciptakan dan membangun konstruksi bangunan atau rumah, seorang arsitek memadukan dan menggabungkan seni dan kreativitasnya dengan ketepatan perhitungan konstruksi bangunan. Dalam hal apapun arsitek selalu memegang teguh etika arsitek, kaidah tatalaku yang baik, bekeria secara mandiri dan menyuguhkan layanan jasanya secara profesional. Baik arsitek sebagai pekeria atau sebagai profesi harus mempunyai kode etik atau aturan untuk kepentingan manusia itu sendiri. Peran arsitek dan tanggungjawab profesi arsitek dalam sistem Hukum Indonesia terdapat dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2017 tentang Arsitek sebagai kewajiban dan tanggung jawab seorang arsitek kepada masyarakat umum dan para pengguna jasa, terlihat apabila teriadi hubungan keria antara arsitek dengan pembuat kerja berdasarkan penjanjian kerja, dengan demikian muncullah tanggung jawab sebagai seorang arsitek. Peran dan tanggungjawab profesi arsitek pada sistem Hukum Malaysia, diatur dalam Arsitek Act 1967 dan peraturan Arsitek 1996 dan dalam General Circular 3 Tahun 2016 amandemen dari Arsitek Act 1967 dan peraturan Arsitek 1996 tentang pendaftaran arsitek tentang tentang pendaftaran arsitek, sehingga Setiap Arsitek Professional, Lulusan Arsitek dan praktek konsultasi arsitektur harus tunduk pada Undang-Undang ini. Seorang arsitek dalam menjalankan pekerjaannya diawasi oleh Dewan Arsitektur Malaysia, apabila seorang aristek yang melanggarkan ketentuan yang sudah di Undang-Undang, maka akan dianggap sebagai pelanggaran dikenakan denda paling banyak sepuluh ribu ringgit atau penjara tidak melebihi jangka waktu dua tahun atau keduanya
Design and implementation of a HLA inter-federation bridge
No full textIn this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a HLA inter-federation bridge. Our works are mainly motivated by the scalability and security problems, but we also consider the use of bridges for interoperability purposes. We describe several bridge topologies, including linear and cyclic inter-federations. We discuss problems raised by bridge federates and the use of different RTI implementations. We detail several solutions, leading to the design and implementation of a bridge prototype. Then we present our current results, and on-going works concerning performance improvements, interoperability, and security purposes
Precast Concrete Elements for Accelerated Bridge Construction Final Report, Volume 1-1. Laboratory Testing of Precast Substructure Components: Boone County Bridge: TR-561, January 2009
No full textIn July 2006, construction began on an accelerated bridge project in Boone County, Iowa that was composed of precast substructure elements and an innovative, precast deck panel system. The superstructure system consisted of full-depth deck panels that were
prestressed in the transverse direction, and after installation on the prestressed concrete girders, post-tensioned in the longitudinal direction. Prior to construction, laboratory tests were completed on the precast abutment and pier cap elements. The substructure testing was to determine the punching shear strength of the elements. Post-tensioning testing and verification of the precast deck system was performed in the field. The forces in the tendons provided by the contractor were verified and losses due to the post-tensioning operation were measured. The stress (strain) distribution in the deck panels due to the post-tensioning was also measured and analyzed. The entire construction process for this bridge system was documented. Representatives from the Boone County Engineers Office, the prime contractor, precast fabricator, and researchers from Iowa State University provided feedback and suggestions for improving the constructability of this design

A data-driven approach for ship-bridge collision candidate detection in bridge waterway
No full textThe consequences caused by bridge failures owing to the ship-bridge collision are always severe in terms of loss of life, economy, and environmental consequences to individuals and societies. The previous studies focused on the ship-bridge collision mainly concentrated on passive anti-collision, such as strengthening the bridge structure or setting anti-collision facilities. Compared with the previous research, the contribution of this work is to facilitate the reduction of collision risk of ship-bridge collision from the perspective of active anti-collision. A data-driven approach for ship-bridge collision candidate detection method in inland bridge waterways is proposed in this research. The approach is mainly divided into two steps: 1) The features (channel boundary, pier domain, and ship domain) of bridge waterways are identified using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) method based on the historical AIS data; 2) Collision candidate detection with Velocity Obstacle (VO) method considering the identified features. This work can provide beneficial support for the ship-bridge active collision avoidance system.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Safety and Security Scienc
