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: 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: 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. ...
