A Bridge That Turned Into a Pier
Lidé města, 2018 Karel Prager’s project of the experimental housing development in Košíře (1975) was doomed to be an ultimate failure from the beginning. As a specific variation of Yona Friedman’s vision of the “city above the city”, it was supposed to hover above the town, exploiting inaccessible or built‑up terrain, as well as avoiding a costly and painful ...

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...

Effect of spacing and skew-angle on clear-water scour at pier alignments [PDF]
, 2012 Pier alignments, defined as single-row pier groups, displayed normal to main bridges’ axes, are frequently used to support bridge decks. Different alignments configurations, characterized by different combinations of piers’ shape and spacing and skew ...

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Experimental Study of Inclined Bridge Pier Scouring
Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2020 The bridges are one of important structures in any country. The failure of bridges occurs due to many factors including design flaws and manufacturing construction errors. Among all imperfections scouring around the pier is the most detrimental.
