Modified Sheet Pile Abutments for Low-Volume Road Bridges: TR-568, January 2012

open access: yes, 2012
To date there have been few investigations of the substructures in low-volume road (LVR) bridges. Steel sheet piling has the potential to provide an economical alternative to concrete bridge abutments, but it needs investigation with regard to vertical ...

Simplified Elastic Model for Restraining Effects of Backfill Soil on Integral bridges

open access: yes, 1999
This paper presents the formulation of a simple method for the prediction of the additional stresses induced in frame type integral bridges due to thermal expansion of the deck. These stresses are controlled to a large extent by the restraint provided to

Multiple routes to territory inheritance in Florida Scrub‐Jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens)

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The prevalence of natal territory inheritance among females as well as males highlights that, among territorial cooperative breeders, significant benefits of philopatry can apply to both sexes. Abstract In many animals, being the dominant owner of a territory is a pre‐requisite for reproductive success. Acquisition of territory by inheritance, where at

Identification of the Best Practices for Design, Construction, and Repair of Bridge Approaches: TR-481, January 2005

open access: yes, 2005
Bridge approach settlement and the formation of the bump is a common problem in Iowa that draws upon considerable resources for maintenance and creates a negative perception in the minds of transportation users.

Dynamic stiffness analysis of bridge abutments [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Strong motion records obtained in instrumented short-span bridges show the importance of the abutments in the dynamic response of the structure. Existing models study the pier foundation influence but not the abutment performance.

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

open access: yesArabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.
