Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Dynamic analysis of debris flow impact on double-column bridge piers based on SPH-FEM coupling

open access: yesShenzhen Daxue xuebao. Ligong ban
Based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics-finite element method (SPH-FEM), a dynamic interaction model of debris flow, comprising both slurry and boulders as well as impacting a double-column bridge pier, is constructed to study the dynamic response ...

Damage Assessment of an RC Pier under Noncontact Blast Loading Based on P-I Curves

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2018
Since the 9.11 attacks in New York, terrorist attacks, military strikes, and accidental explosions have caused serious damage to various infrastructures around the world. Accidental traffic explosions in bridge engineering have occurred frequently due to

Experimental and finite element investigations on hydration heat and early cracks in massive concrete piers

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
The concrete hydration heat and different construction methods directly affects the early crack resistance of massive concrete structures and may lead to concrete cracks.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Research on Monitoring Technology for Frame Piers of Continuous Box-Girder Bridges Constructed by the Cantilever Method

open access: yesBuildings
This paper focuses on the analysis of the stress state of a large-span frame pier-continuous box girder bridge with pier crossbeams anchored by pier crossbeams on the main pier of the Guangfo-Zhao Expressway.

Evaluation of the Need for Longitudinal Median Joints in Bridge Decks on Dual Structures, TR-661, 2015 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The primary objective of this project was to determine the effect of bridge width on deck cracking in bridges. Other parameters, such as bridge skew, girder spacing and type, abutment type, pier type, and number of bridge spans, were also studied.

On the preservation of reinforced concrete architectural masterpieces: The challenges of the REcube project

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an

Simulation of Scour at Bridge Supports

open access: yesGrađevinar, 2020
Groups of piers are used on bridges to minimise scour around bridge supports. The prediction of scour around piers due to interaction of vortices around bridge piers is more complex compared to scour prediction around a single pier.
