Superstructure Behavior of a Stub-Type Integral Abutment Bridge

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2014
Records show that research leading to the successful introduction of integral-type structures such as continuous beams and frames actually began in the 1930s. Simple stub-type abutments have been found to perform well and are recommended for widespread use. The purpose of this analysis was to consider the behavior of the superstructure and substructure/

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

Are the detection and dimensions of peri‐implant buccal bone defects influenced by different implant materials and their location? An experimental cone‐beam computed tomography study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of different implant materials and arrangements within the field of view (FOV) and exomass on the diagnostic accuracy and image quality of cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the detection of peri‐implant buccal bone defects of various sizes. Methods A total of 120 CBCT scans with

Towards a Better Understanding of Behaviour of Bridges with Integral Abutments

Composite Construction in Steel and Concrete VI, 2011
One of the issues that has not been completely resolved in bridges built without expansion joints is the influence of seasonal temperature variations and soil characteristics on the maximum bridge length. To study this problem, a 40 meter long road composite bridge over the river Leduan in the north of Sweden was built in 2005.

Harnessing Spatial and Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to Optimize Land Suitability for Kenaf Cultivation in Kelantan: Pathways for Sustainable Economic Development

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Kelantan, entrenched land degradation and extensive idling of agricultural lands exacerbate rural poverty. Current top‐down planning often overlooks local geographic and social constraints, despite state initiatives to convert idle lands and strengthen rural livelihoods.

Composite Bridges with Integral Abutments Minimizing Lifetime Cost

IABSE Symposium, Melbourne 2002: Towards a Better Built Environment - Innovation, Sustainability, Information Technology, 2002
The cost of maintenance is an ever- growing problem for road administrations around the world, and bridges are no exception to the rule.

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Numerical Evaluation of Constitutive Soil Models for Cyclic Soil–Structure Interaction in Integral Abutment Bridges

HBRC Journal
The accurate representation of backfill soil behaviour is a critical step in Finite Element (FE) analysis of Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) subjected to thermally induced cyclic loading.

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.
