Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) dapped‐end connections feature a sharp re‐entrant corner subjected to high stress concentrations, leading to wide cracks under service loads and potential durability issues such as reinforcement corrosion. Effective crack control is therefore essential in the design of new dapped‐end connections. Steel fiber reinforced

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 2654-2669, July 2026.ABSTRACT The safe operation of aging steel railway bridges requires reliable fatigue assessment of welded structural details. Welded longitudinal stiffeners, while not directly loaded, influence structural stiffness and are susceptible to fatigue cracking at weld transitions.

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.Technical approach of the article. ABSTRACT This study focuses primarily on concrete curved girder‐type bridges, which are commonly used for urban roads and highways. Over the last two decades, practical experience in bridge engineering has shown that these bridges have unique mechanical and damage characteristics, unlike conventional straight bridges.

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.An innovative gusset plate connection, which acts as a rigid connection, was proposed and investigated parametrically and numerically. Also, the required equations to design the system were proposed. Results indicated that the gusset plate yields a ductile fuse while the beam and column remain elastic.

Model studies on plate girders
The Journal of Strain Analysis for Engineering Design, 1983 Tests on eighteen small scale models which simulate the elastic and post-buckling behaviour of plate girders when subjected to shear loading are reported and discussed. The models were fabricated of steel and Araldite; the major aim was to assess whether small scale models can be employed to study shear buckling problems.

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...
