Abstract: The widely-utilized multispan simply-supported adjacent (side-by-side) box girder bridges often suffer from problems of deterioration attributable to transverse cracking in link slabs between spans, malfunctioning expansion ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of critical loads for parabolic fixed steel tubular arches. An advanced nonlinearity finite-element program, taking into account the geometric and material ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tube (CFT)–RC composite members consist of multiple CFT columns connected by RC plates or webs. CFT-RC composite members have been used in different types of structures, for example, as ribs in long-span ...

Abstract: To enhance the durability of side-by-side box girder bridges, a common source of maintenance issues can be eliminated using the jointless bridge concept. Accurate estimation of the average effective bridge temperature range ...

Abstract: In this paper, an experimental and analytical investigation of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) laced columns is presented. These columns consist of four concrete-filled steel tubes that are laced together. A total of ...
