High‐Resolution Regional Seismic Loss Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Using Component‐Level Fragility Models and Repair Cost Estimations

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 301-318, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution regional seismic loss assessment framework for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, focusing on direct losses due to bridge repair and replacement. Indirect losses tied to traffic downtime, business disruption, delayed recovery, etc., can also be attributed to bridge damage but are considered outside the ...

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Practical evaluation of the influence of the position of dowels in expansion joints on the risk of failure of Portland cement concrete pavements

Roads and Bridges
Cement concrete pavements are mainly implemented in Poland using unreinforced, dowelled and tieded pavement technology. The task of dowels in transverse expansion joints is to ensure proper transfer of loads between slabs and to allow free operation of ...

Influence of Various Wood Species and Cross-Sections on Strength of a Dowel Welding Joint

Drvna Industrija, 2014
Rotation welding is a new method used in wood welding. Heat that develops due to the friction on contact surfaces softens and melts the wood structure (melt is produced).

Bending Behaviour of Dowelled Mortise and Tenon Joints in Kempas

Scientific Research Journal, 2008
Mortise and tenon are commonly used as timber connections between beam and column with enhancement by pultruded dowel. At present the data on the performance of mortise and tenon joints manufactured using Malaysian tropical timber is not available. Therefore there is a need to provide such data for better guidance and references in design purposes ...
