Abstract: Reinforced concrete arch bridges are ideal to span over river valleys or deep ravines. However, the construction of the arch rib is very often the most crucial aspect that may influence the feasibility of the bridge. Casting ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method for the instability analysis of an axially compressed rail modeled as an infinite beam resting on a viscoelastic foundation and subjected to a moving vehicle modeled as a single-axle ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional vibration solutions are presented for rectangular plates with mixed boundary conditions, based on the small strain linear elasticity theory. The analysis is focused on two kinds ...
