Abstract: The stochastic response of cross-sea bridges is susceptible to the significant effects of wind and waves. In this study, an efficient probabilistic assessment framework for cross-sea bridges was developed by combining a ...

Abstract: Columns are the primary load-carrying components in the bridge, and column failure could initiate the collapse of the entire bridge. Estimates of residual axial capacity for round, bridge pier columns under combined vehicle ...

Abstract: Highway bridge piers could be underdesigned for a multihazardous condition involving vehicle collision and air blast based on the current design code. The piers are often positioned in such a fashion that it is neither ...

Abstract: The extreme multihazardous event involving a truck collision and an air blast is a low-probability, high-consequence event for bridge piers. This study aimed to numerically investigate the performance and failure modes of ...

Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is currently being pursued as a cleaner and more efficient alternative to conventional engine strategies. Control of the load and phasing of combustion ...
