Conception of cable-stayed curved deck: the effects of unilateral suspension
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018 In systems of suspended cable bridges, the cable-stayed bridges have been widely used because of its capacity to overcome large spans and not require large areas of support during their execution, minimizing interference with existing vehicle flow or ...

On the politics of movement: Borderscapes, choreopolicing and choreopolitics
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 4, December 2025.Short Abstract The paper introduces choreography as a novel tool of analysis for investigating how movement shapes and is shaped by the apparatus of territorial security. It examines how dance choreography can intervene in security imperatives and enact embodied transgression.

Experimental evaluation of vibration based damage identification techniques on a pedestrian bridge
Dyna, 2019 Failures of civil structures, such as bridges, due to natural events or anthropic loads can generate significant social and economic impacts. As an alternative for the identification of damage in these structures, dynamic structural health monitoring has

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 14, Page 3594-3609, November 2025.ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete (RC) bridges are designed to remain safe and functional for their lifetime, during which the impacts of aging may result in performance degradation. Steel bar corrosion is one of the most common causes of structural performance degradation in RC structures subjected to earthquakes in seismic‐prone areas.

Curved and Layered Structures, 2020 Abstract Architects and engineers have been always attracted by concrete shell structures due to their high efficiency and plastic shapes. In this paper the possibility to use concrete shells to support footbridges is explored. Starting from Musmeci’s fundamental research and work in shell bridge design, the use of numerical form-finding

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 753-772, November 2025.Abstract There is a metaphysical difference between person A killing person B and A merely letting B die. There is also a metaphysical difference between A saving B and A merely letting B live. This paper argues that the metaphysical difference between saving and letting live gives rise to a moral difference. It then puts that moral difference to work:

Modelling Construction of Footbridges with Cables
Footbridge 2017 Berlin - Tell A Story: Conference Proceedings 6-8.9.2017 TU-Berlin, 2017 <p>The usual moderate dimensions of footbridges allow design architects (and sometimes engineers) to provide such structures with capricious forms. Under such circumstances, the analysis of the service state is usually very thorough, devoting to the study of the construction stages much less attention.

The Effect of Fishing Basin Construction On the Behaviour of a Footbrdge Over the Port Channel
Polish Maritime Research, 2017 The paper analyses possible causes of failure of the rotating footbridge over the Ustka port channel. In July, 2015, strange behaviour of this object was observed in the form of excessive vibrations of bridge platform suspension rods, with the ...
