Dynamic Behavior of Bed Material around Bridge Pier under Abrupt Change of Water Pressure [PDF]
, 1999 Major failure of structures usually occurs during flood flows due to scourin, sinking and sliding. These types of failure are considered to be in close relation to the dynamic behavior of bed material around the structures.

Road and bridge construction across gypsum karst in England [PDF]
, 2002 Gypsum karst problems in the Permian and Triassic sequences of England have caused difficult conditions for bridge and road construction. In Northern England, the Ripon Bypass crosses Permian strata affected by active gypsum karst and severe subsidence ...

Mean Flow Structure and Local Scour around Single and Two-Column Bridge Piers [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2019 Bridges constructed across rivers are among the most important structures, especially during and after flood events. Bridge piers are exposed to some hazardous factors such as local and contraction scour hydrodynamics.

Kinematic Response of Bridge Piers
Procedia Engineering, 2016 AbstractThis paper deals with the soil-structure interaction that occurs in deep foundations of bridge piers in seismic areas. In particular, the kinematic response of rigid caisson foundations under the passage of obliquely incident polarized shear waves is highlighted and discussed. A Winkler model with translational and rotational impedances is used

Performance of a Damage Protected Highway Bridge Pier Subjected to Bidirectional Earthquake Attack [PDF]
, 2009 Recent earthquakes such as Loma Prieta, Northridge, and Kobe have demonstrated a need for a new design philosophy of bridge piers that avoids damage in order to ensure post-earthquake serviceability and reduce financial loss.

Flood fragility analysis for bridges with multiple failure modes [PDF]
, 2017 Bridges are one of the most important infrastructure systems that provide public and economic bases for humankind. It is also widely known that bridges are exposed to a variety of flood-related risk factors such as bridge scour, structural deterioration,

Bridge distress caused by approach embankment settlement [PDF]
, 2008 Surtees Bridge, which carries the A66(T) over the River Tees near Thornaby-on-Tees in the UK, has been showing signs of distress that predate its opening in 1981.

Bridge-specific fragility analysis: when is it really necessary? [PDF]
, 2018 In seismic assessment of bridges the research focus has recently shifted on the derivation of bridge-specific fragility curves that account for the effect of different geometry, structural system, component and soil properties, on the seismic behaviour ...
