Influence of Construction Joint and Bridge Geometry on Integral Abutment Bridges
Applied Sciences, 2021 Although integral abutment bridges (IABs) have become a preferred construction choice for short- to medium-length bridges, they still have unclear bridge design guidelines.

Exceeding probability analysis for rail of high-speed railway under seismic excitations [PDF]
Railway Sciences, 2023 Purpose – The smoothness of the high-speed railway (HSR) on the bridge may exceed the allowable standard when an earthquake causes vibrations for HSR bridges, which may threaten the safety of running trains.

An innovative steel-concrete joint for integral abutment bridges
Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online), 2015 Integral abutment bridges are becoming rather common, due to the durability problems of bearings and expansion joints. At the same time, among short- and medium-span bridges, multi-beam steel-concrete composite deck with hot-rolled girder is an ...

Study on Structural Schemes of Comb-Type Steel-Concrete Composite Girder Bridges
Zhongwai GongluTo investigate the structural performance of novel comb-type steel-concrete composite girder bridges (with a span of 8‒40 m) and optimize their design schemes, this paper took the live load structural efficiency index as the indicator and comprehensively

Climate Driven Water Table Changes and Their Influence on Liquefaction Response of Integral Bridges
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Integral abutment bridges (IABs) eliminate bearings and joints but transfer seismic demand directly into the surrounding soil, making their response highly sensitive to groundwater conditions and soil–structure interaction. This study presents a 60 g centrifuge testing programme on single‐span IABs designed to isolate the influence of water ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

Early use of the reinforced concrete in the architecture of the Historicism in Austria–Hungary
Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 2857-2868, June 2026.Abstract The study examines the early incorporation of reinforced concrete in the architecture of Historicism in Austria–Hungary. Spanning the late 19th to early 20th centuries, the research illuminates the period's stylistic pluralism and the transformative impact of reinforced concrete.
