Abstract: A random vibrational response study of a dynamical system is presented. In particular, suspension bridge stability analysis in the presence of turbulence is addressed. The effects of turbulence ...

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: This paper numerically investigates the dynamic behavior of bridge piers reinforced with shape-memory alloy (SMA) rebar when subjected to lateral impact loads. Performance of SMA reinforced pier is compared with column ...

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: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are smart metallic alloys that have become an attractive material for structural engineering applications owing to two distinct features: the superelasticity effect (SE), and the shape memory ...

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 ...
