Abstract: The dynamic response of shear deficient (SD) beams constructed with ultrahigh performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is evaluated in this study. Additionally, a comparison is made with adequately reinforced (AR) ...

Abstract: Flood-induced scour has been identified as a major cause of bridge collapse around the world. Although the seismic response of bridges with scoured foundations has been studied extensively, there is limited information on ...

Abstract: The nonlinear dynamic behavior of rocking bridge piers with different configurations was numerically investigated in this study when subjected to vehicle collisions using finite-element (FE) simulations in LS-DYNA software. ...

Abstract: The consequences of natural hazards like tsunamis often lead to severe damage to coastal bridges, resulting in socioeconomic loss, delays in rescue operations, and even loss of human lives. It is therefore important to ...

Abstract: Here, a performance-based seismic design method is presented for shape memory alloy (SMA)-reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers. The proposed design method is developed based on the existing displacement-based procedure ...

Abstract: Because global landfills are filling at a fast rate with waste that can potentially be recycled, it is now time for the development and implementation of sustainable materials in construction. This article investigates the ...

Abstract: The performance-based seismic design (PBSD) approach is implemented to achieve the desired structural performance over a wide range of seismic hazard levels. It requires a set of targeted performance levels and their ...
