The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 2947-2968, June 2026.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

EFFECT OF COMPOSITE ACTION OF CONCRETE SLAB ON UNSYMMETRICAL STEEL PLATE GIRDER UNDER COMBINED BENDING AND TORSION MOMENTS

Al-Qadisiyah Journal for Engineering Science, 2017
In general, the reinforced concrete slab in composite unsymmetrical steel plate girder contributes in increased the ultimate strength of composite section under combined effect of bending and torsion moments.

Performance analysis of strengthening reinforced concrete beams under pure torsion using galvanized steel sheets: Experimental and numerical investigation

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 3018-3040, June 2026.
Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.

Appearance Inspection‐Based Typical Damage Investigation of Concrete Curved Girder‐Type Bridges Subjected to Temperature and Vehicle Effect

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.

BEHAVIOUR OF COMPOSITE PLATE GIRDERS WITH PARTIAL INTERACTION

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2013
This paper is concerned with the behaviour and strength of composite plate girders in which, the interaction between the steel plate girder and concrete slab is partial. Based on curvature compatibility principle, an approximate method is proposed from which, the shear capacity and deflection at any given load may be determined.

Utilizing Gusset Plates as Ductile Beam‐to‐Column Connections to Improve the Behavior of Steel Moment‐Resisting Frames

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.

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

FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF CONNECTION PLATE BETWEEN MAIN GIRDER AND CROSS BEAM IN COMPOSITE PLATE GIRDER

Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1987
Since urban freeway bridges were opened for traffic more than ten years ago, there have been so many reports on the necessity of reparing cracks and deformations. For an example, the cracks at the connection plate between girder and lateral load-distribution cross beam are reported, and also the cracks at the connection plate between girder and sway ...
