Abstract: This paper briefly introduces the present situation of concrete filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridges in China. More than 200 CFST arch bridges were investigated and analyzed based on the factors of type, span, erection ...

Abstract: Tie bars on through tied arch bridges are often in poor condition and may serve as an external cause of a tie-bar failure accident; nevertheless, bridge structural robustness contributes greatly in resisting progressive ...

Abstract: Compared with those of other bridge types, the structural system of through tied-arch bridges is particularly susceptible to failure owing to the deterioration and fracturing of tie-bars as well as a lack of structural ...

Abstract: The evolution of hinged joint structures in Chinese hinged hollow-slab bridges was summarized to study the mechanical performance of hinged joint structures in hinged hollow-slab bridges with gate-type steel bars. Parameter ...
