Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Impact Resistance of Steel Fiber All‐Lightweight Concrete Beams Based on the Effect of Fiber Type
Shock and Vibration, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The mechanical performance of all‐lightweight concrete (ALC) structures can be significantly improved through the incorporation of steel fibers. However, research on the dynamic response of steel fiber–reinforced all‐lightweight concrete (SFALC) structures under impact loading remains limited.

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.

Efficient bridge damage detection using a lightweight attention‐based modeling framework
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 27, Page 4758-4773, 14 November 2025.Abstract Currently, real‐time assessment of surface damage to bridges is crucial for ensuring infrastructure safety. Unfortunately, existing methods often present a challenge: overly complex computational models are incompatible with systems that have limited resources, while lightweight models struggle to achieve sufficient detection accuracy.

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5677-5707, October 2025.Abstract Gerber half‐joints, broadly used in the last century as elements of concrete bridges, are prone to corrosion‐induced deterioration, which may lead to brittle shear collapse. It is of paramount importance to develop advanced numerical models for simulating the collapse behavior of Gerber half‐joints, taking material deterioration into account ...

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5535-5554, October 2025.Abstract The preservation of the degrading transport infrastructure is vital, as replacing it is impossible in view of limited budgets and environmental impacts. One component in overcoming this challenge is the evaluation of the reliability and the calculation of the remaining service life of existing structures.
