Lateral Load Resisting Behaviour of Existing Railway Bridge Piers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Most of the sub-structures of new railway river bridges in the state of Odisha are built with solid mass concrete gravity piers and abutments. These piers do not have steel reinforcement to bear the load as it does not subject to any tensile stress under

The Pier Luigi Nervi's concrete structure of Palazzetto dello Sport: Modeling and dynamic characterization

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.

Local scour at group of bridge piers founded in gravel bed in staggered arrangement

open access: yesResults in Engineering
Local scour around bridge piers is the common cause of undermining of bridge foundation. Many researchers have studied local scour around bridge pier in finer sediment bed.

The Role of Shrinkage Strains Causing Early-Age Cracking in Cast-in-Place Concrete Bridge Decks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Early-age cracking in cast-in-place reinforced concrete bridge decks is occurring more frequently now than three decades ago and principle factors that lead to early-age deck cracking are not fully understood. A finite element (FE) simulation methodology

Seismic performance of bridge piers

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract The bridges that constructed in earthquake-prone areas perhaps subjected to sudden earthquake through their construction and service period. So, attentions should be pushed during bridge design specially, as they are one of the main civil infrastructures.

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Feasibility Study of Using Engineered Cementitious Composite and High-Strength Bars in Rigid Bridge Piers Based on Seismic Vulnerability Analysis

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2020
The main function of pier is to transmit the load from superstructure to foundation reliably. Under earthquake action, the main failure reason of bridge is the damage of bridge pier.

Seismic Response and Damage Analysis of an Isolated Bridge Subjected to Near-Fault Ground Motion

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
In this study, the seismic response and damage behavior of an isolated bridge under near-fault ground motion are studied and compared with the non-isolated bridge.

Flood fragility analysis for bridges with multiple failure modes [PDF]

open access: yes, 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,

Leaning Bridge Piers

open access: yesJournal of the National Academy of Forensic Engineers, 1987
Relocation of a major county road in the Midwest required the construction of a five-span, 3 19 foot long bridge over a creek. Each pier consisted of a reinforced concrete panel 56 feet high, 22 feet wide and 2 feet thick, with a top cap and a footing.
