A Generalized Framework for Reliability Assessment of Bridges using Adjusted Partial Safety and Combination Factors
ICASP14; Sýkora, Miroslav; Lenner, Roman; Caprani, Colin; Khan, Mohammad Shihabuddin (2023)Assessment of degrading infrastructure, particularly bridges, represents a growing challenge for structural engineers. While traditional strategies for bridge assessment, such as a code-based rating factor assessment, are ... -
A Modern Bayesian Approach to Model Updating of Bridges Considering Measurement Uncertainty
Caprani, Colin; Shaker, Fatemeh; ICASP14 (2023)Existing bridges were designed using contemporaneous standards, but increased loading due to increased freight demand must be considered in their ongoing safety management. Finite-Element (FE) modelling provides the ... -
A value of information framework for quantifying the value of reliability assessment for a steel railway truss bridge
Caprani, Colin; Khan, Mohammad Shihabuddin; ICASP14 (2023)Infrastructure is frequently subject to various loading and environmental stressors that cause degradation of its performance with time. Management of such degrading infrastructure is conditioned upon its estimated ... -
Bayesian hierarchical modelling of bridge traffic loading across a road network
Caprani, Colin; Rizqiansyah, Akbar; ICASP14 (2023)The prediction of extreme traffic loading is a crucial part of bridge design and assessment. It provides a basis of how much action, and conversely the strength required for a bridge in its lifetime. However, there remain ... -
Comparison between AS5100 fatigue load model and fatigue from representative traffic
Caprani, Colin; Zhou, Ziyi; ICASP14 (2023)Bridges provide an irreplaceable role in road transportation, and so it is vital to properly manage them. The traffic loading caused by trucks is decisive in bridge design and assessment, because it not only controls the ... -
Determination of load combination factors for the assessment of existing bridges
Khan, Shihab; ICASP14; Caprani, Colin (2023)There is a difference between the calibration of partial factors of safety for a new code of practice intended for design, and the development of factors for assessment. In particular, the treatment of load combination ... -
Probabilistic dynamic amplification of Australian B-Double trucks
Cantero, Daniel; Caprani, Colin; ICASP14; Mei, Shiyi (2023)Traffic loading is one of the most common and important live loads to which bridges are subjected. In particular, the dynamic effect caused by running vehicles plays an important role in determining the structural safety ... -
Probabilistic evaluation of road bridges under heavy load platforms
ICASP14; Caprani, Colin; Ngan, Jun Wei (2023)Road bridges are one of the most important infrastructure assets for global transportation. With the growing freight demands, traffic loads on bridges are also increasing. Specifically, the increase of heavy load platforms ...
