Summary: The use of steel-basalt fibre composite bars (SBFCBs) effectively addresses the corrosion and poor ductility issues in steel-reinforced and pure FRP-reinforced concrete beams, respectively. The study investigates the flexural behavior of SBFCB-reinforced concrete beams through testing eleven beams with different reinforcement methods, aiming to provide design and application reference. The research encompasses the failure mode, ultimate bearing capacity, strain of concrete and reinforcement, crack distribution, and the effects of different reinforcement methods and equivalent reinforcement ratios. The results indicate the influence of the equivalent reinforcement ratio on the failure mode, cracking load values, yield load, ultimate load, and secondary stiffness of SBFCB-reinforced concrete beams, as well as the improved ductility and reduced crack parameters with increasing equivalent reinforcement ratio. The deduced formulas for yield load and ultimate bearing capacity show good agreement with the measured values, and a recommended maximum strain limit for SBFCBs is proposed.

Summary: This paper investigates the flexural performance of concrete-encased square steel tube truss (SSTT) beams through experiments. The results show that the failure mode of these composite beams is bending failure, with the lower chords experiencing tension yielding and subsequent concrete crushing in the compression zone. Under vertical loads, the composite beams go through four stages: integral, cracking, yielding of lower chord steel tubes, and failure. Additionally, the strains across the mid-span section of the composite beams conform to the plane hypothesis. Based on the test results, formulae for normal sectional flexural capacity, short-term flexural rigidity, and crack width of concrete-encased SSTT beams are proposed as references for practical engineering.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of Shallow Steel-beam-Concrete Composite (SSCC) decks, focusing on the effect of different Steel-beam-Concrete (SC) bonding measures and techniques on composite action. Through extensive review of experimental tests, it was found that the SC bonding force consists of two components: steel-concrete adhesion in the compression zone and the adopted SC bonding technique. The effectiveness of SC bonding techniques was assessed by comparing experimental tests with numerical simulations, and analytical equations for the bending capacity of SSCC decks with full composite action (FCA) were developed for design purposes.

Summary: In this study, pre-damaged beams were repaired and strengthened using high ductility concrete (HDC), and the extent of damage at different stages of the beam was measured using an ultrasound method. The results showed that increasing the thickness of the reinforcement layer improved the load-carrying capacity and cracking load of the beam while reducing residual deformation. However, this method was not suitable for repairing structural cracks. The proposed reinforcement measures and structural damage determination methods are simple and convenient, and valuable to the further development of the industry.

Summary: This paper presents a comprehensive assessment on the inelastic behavior of continuous steel-concrete composite beams, focusing on the effect of reinforcement in the slab. The results show that using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement is more effective in reducing crack width in the concrete slab over the center support compared to glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) or steel reinforcement. The reinforcement has little influence on the ultimate response at midspan but significantly affects the response at the center support.

Summary: This study investigates the vibration and noise radiation from underwater structures and its impact on aquatic ecosystems. A finite element model and a three-dimensional boundary element acoustic model were developed to predict vibration and noise radiation. The results show that flow-induced vibration produces broad band noise radiation, with the dominant frequency range from 3 to 25 Hz. The sediment thickness of the scouring depth model affects the sound pressure radiation significantly. The simulated sound pressure level and water particle motion may exceed the threshold of certain underwater species in certain frequency ranges, especially for the once-in-a-century scouring depth.

Summary: This study aims to develop an effective framework for stochastic analysis of the wind-train-track-bridge system by considering the random nature of winds and track irregularities. Through a dimension-reduced simulation scheme, the high-dimensional random variables of turbulent winds and track irregularities are well represented using only two random variables. The accuracy of the framework is verified through numerical examples, and the influence of mean wind velocity on the random vibration characteristics of the system is investigated. The study finds that the lateral displacement of the bridge has larger dispersion than the vertical displacement, and both the vertical and lateral accelerations of the bridge have large dispersions. The existence of lateral wind loads can reduce the dispersion of the lateral wheel-rail interaction forces. The train can safely run over the bridge within a wind velocity range of 0-25 m/s with confidence levels of 75%, 85%, and 95%.

Summary: The measurement of tensile forces in suspenders is crucial for safety inspection and monitoring in large structural engineering projects. The frequency-based method is commonly used, but affected by factors such as additional damping and boundary conditions. This study derives the equation of damped motion for a suspender-damper system, develops a numerical solution method based on finite difference scheme, and proposes a frequency-based multiple parameter identification method. The research demonstrates that the position and damping coefficient of the damper significantly affect the frequency and mode of the suspender-damper system, and discusses the influencing mechanism. Numerical examples show that the proposed algorithm can accurately identify multiple system parameters of the suspender, with a maximum error of 1%. The study also discusses the influence of frequency errors.

Summary: In recent years, efforts have been made to utilize terrestrial laser scanning for bridge spatial performance inspection, but they are limited to smaller bridges. The large-scale dimensional features of long-span bridges pose challenges for 3D point cloud techniques. In this study, a cross-evaluation of three iterative closest point (ICP) registration methods is conducted for long-span suspension bridges. The results show that the feature point-based ICP algorithm performs better in terms of convergence rate and execution time, while the kd-tree-based ICP algorithm takes less time for a single iteration.

Summary: In this paper, the transverse connectivity and durability of prefabricated concrete hollow slab bridges in China were investigated through a field test. The results showed that the bridges had defects such as transverse cracks on the bottom plates of the girders and longitudinal cracks in the hinge joints. The weakening of transverse connectivity led to non-uniform distribution of girder deflection, and after 25 years of service life, the girders in the background bridges were in a moderate deterioration condition. The evaluation method using neural networks and surface damage was verified and showed a prediction error within 15.0% for hinge joint damage and within 40% for girder durability.

Summary: Structures susceptible to soft story mechanisms are particularly vulnerable to earthquakes. The strongback has been proposed as a way to prevent soft story mechanisms, but its impact on structural performance considering vertical stiffness irregularities and different arrangements of energy dissipation devices is unclear. This study investigates the effects of strongback on a small-scale four-story elastic structure with varying stiffness irregularities and damper arrangements. The results show that the strongback significantly reduces maximum story drift and makes the structural performance insensitive to damper position and distribution.

The results showed that an increase in the recycled aggregate content led to a decrease in the bearing capacity and elastic stiffness of the RE-RACFSTs, as well as an earlier onset of the confining effect. Finite element models were also established and used to study the effects of key factors on the residual load-carrying capacity. Furthermore, a simplified formula was proposed to estimate the post-fire residual capacity of RERACFST stub columns.
