Numerical Simulation of Post‐Yield Hysteretic Behavior of Lap‐Spliced Reinforced Concrete Bridge Pier Walls Under Earthquake Loading

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1356-1376, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

Improved construction of concrete viaducts with movable scaffolding systems in Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The current paper relates the state of the art of construction of viaducts with a movable scaffolding system (MSS). Two different procedures are introduced: the traditional sequence and the new sequence applied to some viaducts in Spain.

Vertical‐Component Seismic Response and System Identification of a 52‐Story High‐Rise Building Using Earthquake Data

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 759-780, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Industrial Design and Economic Analysis of Steel Box Girder Bridge with Conventional Span

open access: yesZhongwai Gonglu
To improve the industrial construction level of steel bridges, a prefabricated continuous steel box girder bridge was designed in this study, which is suitable for bidirectional four lanes and six lanes with spans ranging from 40 m to 80 m.

Study on the influence of damping plates on structural vibration and radiation characteristics of the railway box girder

open access: yesJournal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 2021
The influence of damping plates on structural vibration, noise and the contribution of the box girder bridge panels was analysed using the model test and numerical calculation methods. In this paper, a 1/10 scale box girder model test system was designed

Optimum design of composite prestressed concrete girder railway bridges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper deals with the formulation of design optimisation of pretsressed concrete bridges. The bridge is of a slab-on-girder type, hence modeled as an equivalent orthotropic plate.

Stress Corrosion Tests for Prestressing Steels—Part 2: Susceptibility of Quenched and Tempered Wires—Influence of Chromium

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 36-45, January 2026.
Cr‐alloyed quenched and tempered prestressing steel wires were found to be as highly susceptible as non‐Cr‐alloyed ones. This finding is in contrast to the known literature. A newly developed and reproducible method for assessing susceptibility to hydrogen‐induced stress corrosion cracking was used.
