bridge’s structure

The paper generalizes one practical tool for analyzing the structural dynamics for the high-speed railway bridge based on Cast3M open-source. Compared with the classical approach with the analytical formulation, KD-Railway developed by the finite element method allows defining the structure with complex geometry and considering a different type of structure (truss, cable, hybrid composite) or the structure-soil interaction.

Recently, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has become a critical component of the maintenance and safety of lifeline infrastructures such as dams, skyscrapers, and bridges, thanks to its ability to detect structural failures at the early stages. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the SHM damage identification tool using a novel metaheuristic algorithm called the Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm (AHA).

The composite girder, which combines a steel beam with an ultra-highperformance concrete (UHPC) slab, has gained significant attention in recent years as a new type of bridge structure. However, accurately estimating the bending capacity of such girders remains a challenge, as practical methods are limited. In this article, the authors propose a theoretical approach based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory to determine the bending capacity of composite girders.

Structural steel pipes have been applied commonly in the bridge construction for foundations or piers with many advantages such as large bending capacity, high shear resistance, and rapid construction. However, site welded joints may face critical technical matters which need to be considered for steel pipe piers during construction stage.

In this study, the combination of Fe(III) and Ni(II), Cu(II), or Mn(II) metal salts bound to organic bridges were synthesized based on thermal method solvent in the presence of DMF. The structural properties of the materials were analyzed based on modern physicochemical methods (XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and BET).

Tensegrity is a structural system constructed of tensile cables and compressive bars. This thesis proposes several general methods for creating tensegrity structures. The author has developed new methods for creating specific tensegrity cells and the corresponding computer code. Furthermore, the author has constructed various physical models to validate the methods. A proposal for an observation tower on top of the Eureka building in Melbourne has also been devised by the author.

A major objective of the research presented here is to develop a link between the two approaches by establishing the relationship between the bridge component condition and the capacity and serviceability limits of the structure. A comprehensive review of literature identified methods of predictive modelling of bridge component condition change using different approaches. The review also indicated that a key to the proposed linkage is considering specific degradation mechanisms in predicting bridge deterioration.

FTIR spectroscopy has been applied to study the coordination structures of Mg2þ and Ca2þ ions bound in Akazara scallop troponin C (TnC), which contains only a single Ca2þ binding site. The region of the COO – antisymmetric stretch provides information about the coordination modes of COO – groups to the metal ions: bidentate, unidentate, or pseudo-bridging. Two bands were observed at 1584 and 1567 cm21 in the apo state, whereas additional bands were observed at 1543 and 1601 cm21 in the Ca2þ-bound and Mg2þ-bound states, respectively.

The cloned guinea-pig Y2 neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, as well as the Y2 receptors natively expressed in rat forebrain, are distributed in two populations. A smaller population that is readily accessed by agonist peptides on the surface of intact cells constitutes less than 30% of Y2 receptors detected in particulates after cell homogenization. A much larger fraction of cell surface Y2 sites can be activated by sulfhydryl modifiers.

The solution structure of a synthetic mutant type I antifreeze protein (AFP I) was determined in aqueous solution at pH 7.0 using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The mutations comprised the replacement of the four Thr residues by Val and the introduction of two additional Lys-Glu salt bridges. The antifreeze activity of this mutant peptide, VVVV2KE, has been previously shown to be similar to that of the wild type protein, HPLC6 (defined here as TTTT).
