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.

Vertical‐Component Seismic Response and System Identification of a 52‐Story High‐Rise Building Using Earthquake Data

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 ...

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 759-780, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Compression capacity of closely spaced double‐angle beam‐columns – Impact of joint stiffness

Steel Construction, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 14-26, February 2026.
Abstract Usually, pinned ends are assumed to calculate the compression capacity of closely spaced double‐angle members. In reality, the joints used in practice provide additional rotational restraint at the member's ends, which significantly influence the compression member capacity of such built‐up sections.

Recent Progress in Mechanoluminescence for Multi‐Dimensional Stress Monitoring

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
Multi‐dimensional stress visualization technology (0D point detection, 1D linear distribution, 2D planar imaging, 3D volume reconstruction) has become a focus of attention in the field of stress sensing. The transition from “points” to “multi‐dimensional spatial fields” facilitates real‐time, in situ, and high‐resolution visualization of stress ...

Stress Corrosion Tests for Prestressing Steels—Part 2: Susceptibility of Quenched and Tempered Wires—Influence of Chromium

Materials and Corrosion, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 36-45, January 2026.
Cr‐alloyed quenched and tempered prestressing steel wires were found to be as highly susceptible as non‐Cr‐alloyed ones. This finding is in contrast to the known literature. A newly developed and reproducible method for assessing susceptibility to hydrogen‐induced stress corrosion cracking was used.

Local Deformation Analysis and Optimization of Steel Box Girder during Incremental Launching

Buildings
Due to the significant weight of the steel box girder and the substantial gap between temporary piers, the stress concentration and localized deformation of the girder’s bottom plate are pronounced during the incremental launching construction process ...
