Damage Detection Applied to a Full-Scale Steel Bridge Using Temporal Momens
Svendsen, Bjørn Thomas; Frøseth, Gunnstein Thomas; Rønnquist, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The most common damages in existing highway and railway steel bridges are related to fatigue and are, as reported in the literature, found in the structural system of the bridge deck. This paper proposes a methodology for ... -
Damping in Timber Structures
Labonnote, Nathalie (Doctoral Theses at NTNU, 1503-8181; 2012:263, Doctoral thesis, 2012)Key point to development of environmentally friendly timber structures, appropriate to urban ways of living, is the development of high-rise timber buildings. Comfort properties are nowadays one of the main limitations to ... -
Dynamic behaviour of existing and new railway catenary systems under Norwegian conditions
Nåvik, Petter Røe (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:298, Doctoral thesis, 2016)This thesis concerns the dynamic behaviour of railway catenary systems, particularly Norwegian systems. The aim of this PhD study is to increase the knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of these systems. This includes analyses ... -
Dynamic comparison of a railway catenary section upgrade by field measurement assessments
Nåvik, Petter Røe; Rønnquist, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The pantograph-catenary interaction is crucial for running trains on electrical railway lines. The coupled dynamic problem of an in space stationary system, the catenary system, and a system in motion, the pantograph, is ... -
Dynamic optimization of railway catenary system by turning unwanted lumped-mass into tuned-mass
zhendong, liu; Stichel, Sebastian; Rønnquist, Anders (Chapter, 2017)The railway catenary is suspended to its supports with droppers, clamps and oth-er fittings. These lumped-masses are made light and small to minimize disturbances. The mass-es cannot be completely removed but can be adjusted ... -
Evolution of load conditions in the Norwegian railway network and imprecision of historic railway load data
Frøseth, Gunnstein Thomas; Rønnquist, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This article describes historic load conditions in the Norwegian railway network to improve estimates of the remaining service life of bridges. Data on rolling stock, traffic and infrastructure throughout the history of ... -
Experiences from the five-year monitoring of a long-span pontoon bridge: What went right, what went wrong and what?s next?
Kvåle, Knut Andreas; Øiseth, Ole; Rønnquist, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Bergsøysund Bridge is a 930-metre-long end-supported pontoon bridge located in Norway, and has been the target of a five-year-long, extensive monitoring program. Herein, we will describe the unique structural characteristics ... -
Global Buckling Reliability Analysis of Slender Network Arch Bridges: An Application of Monte Carlo-Based Estimation by Optimized Fitting
Rønnquist, Anders; Næss, Arvid (Chapter, 2017)Network arch bridges are extremely slender bridge structures with a very efficient 16 load-carrying structure. This configuration can carry loads that are several times greater 17 than traditional tied-arch bridges with ... -
Indirect monitoring of vortex-induced vibration of suspension bridge hangers
Cantero, Daniel; Øiseth, Ole; Rønnquist, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Wind loading of large suspension bridges produces a variety of structural responses, including the vortex-induced vibrations of the hangers. Because it is impractical to monitor each hanger, this study explores the possibility ... -
Influence line extraction by deconvolution in the frequency domain
Frøseth, Gunnstein Thomas; Rønnquist, Anders; Cantero, Daniel; Øiseth, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper proposes a new method for extracting static influence lines from measurements on bridges. The response of a structure is the convolution of the load and the influence line. Previous research has not embraced the ... -
Long-term monitoring of wind field characteristics and dynamic response of a long-span suspension bridge in complex terrain
Fenerci, Aksel; Øiseth, Ole; Rønnquist, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Long-term monitoring data of wind velocities and accelerations on the Hardanger Bridge are used to investigate the relationship between the wind-loading and response processes. The extensive measurement system consisting ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Modal Properties Change of Railway Bridges during Train Passage
Cantero, Daniel; Rønnquist, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)During the passage of vehicles over a bridge, both systems (vehicle and bridge) are coupled together. This coupling is generally accounted for in vehicle-bridge interaction analyses. It is also commonly acknowledged that ... -
