Deflection is a crucial indicator to reflect the operating condition of girder bridges, which can be used to evaluate structure condition and identify abnormal loading. The paper analyzed the deflection characteristics of long-span girder bridges based on the coupling vibration between stochastic traffic stream and bridge. First, the latest research advances were integrated to form an analytical model of the coupling vibration between stochastic traffic stream and bridge. Then, a generalized Pareto distribution model based on peaks-over-threshold theory was established to predict the extreme girder deflection. Next, a cellular automaton based microsimulation method was proposed to model the traffic loads on bridges, which utilized the intelligent driver car-following model and acceptance distance based lane-changing model. Finally, these theories were applied in the case study of a long-span prestressed concrete continuous girder bridge. It is discovered from the study that, under the coupling vibration between stochastic traffic stream and bridge, the predicted extreme deflection of the case bridge is far lower than the specified design value. Hence, a grading warning model was established and employed to the analysis of deflection monitoring data of the bridge, showing a wide potential prospect of application.

Peptide stapling is an effective strategy to stabilise α-helical peptides, enhancing their bioactive conformation and improving physiochemical properties. In this study, we apply our novel diyne-girder stapling approach to the MDM2/MDMX α-helical binding region of the p53 transactivation domain. By incorporation of an unnatural amino acid to create an optimal , + 7 bridge length, we developed a highly α-helical stapled peptide, 4, confirmed circular dichroism.

Structural damage identification based on structural health monitoring (SHM) data and machine learning (ML) is currently a rapidly developing research area in structural engineering. Traditional machine learning techniques rely heavily on feature extraction, where weak feature extraction can lead to suboptimal features and poor classification performance. In contrast, ML-based methods, particularly deep learning approaches like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), automatically extract relevant features from raw data, improving the accuracy and adaptability of the damage identification process.

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul, 08826, Republic of Korea.

To enhance sustainability and resilience against climate change in infrastructure, a quantitative evaluation of both environmental impact and cost is important within a life cycle framework. Climate change effects can lead performance deterioration in bridge components during their operational phase, highlighting the necessity for a risk-based evaluation process aligned with maintenance strategies. This study employs a two-phase life cycle assessments (LCA) framework.

With the wide application of the incremental launching method in bridges, the demand for real-time monitoring of launching displacement during bridge incremental launching construction has emerged. In this paper, we propose a machine vision-based real-time monitoring method for the forward displacement and lateral offset of bridge incremental launching in which the linear shape of the bottom surface of the girder is a straight line. The method designs a kind of cross target, and realizes efficient detection, recognition, and tracking of multiple targets during the dynamic process of beam incremental launching by training a YOLOv5 target detection model and a DeepSORT multi-target tracking model.
