Abstract: Low yield point (LYP) structural steels had been developed and used for the seismic energy dissipating, however, the fracture of various LYP steel energy dissipation components may lead to progressive collapse of structures. ...

Abstract: Traditional sacrificial concrete retaining blocks (CRBs) play a significant role in reducing the excessive transverse displacements of bridge superstructures and protecting the substructures from severe damage during seismic ...

Abstract: The fracture of energy-dissipation components with low-yield-point (LYP) steels under seismic action may cause the progressive collapse of the structures. Therefore, it is essential to predict the fracture of various LYP ...

Abstract: Several studies have highlighted that substituting cement with industrial solid waste materials, such as fly ash and slag powder, can enhance the crack resistance of cement-stabilized macadam bases. A mixture incorporating ...

Abstract: An analysis method to quantify the alternate load paths (ALPs), inspired by the concept of ALP for progressive analysis of buildings, is proposed for steel truss bridges subject to the loss of a critical member. Quantification ...

Abstract: This study proposes an integrated and easily applicable framework that considers the dynamic effect of sudden member loss to identify the critical members in steel truss bridges through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Numerical ...
