Abstract: This paper develops a simplified method using a summation procedure and a related computer program to calculate the time-dependent behavior of a concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge based on the geometric ...

Abstract: The rock properties under periodic load are important to the stability of engineering works. It needs to analyze the mechanical properties and damage of deeply buried rock under periodic load. Taking granite in a mine as ...

Abstract: An innovative lightweight composite deck (LWCD) is proposed for steel bridges to avoid premature fatigue cracking. The composite deck is composed of an open-ribbed orthotropic steel deck (OSD) and a thin ultrahigh-performance ...

Abstract: In this study, two column and pile-footing models consisting of concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns, reinforced concrete footings, and steel H-piles were designed and constructed at approximately one-fifth scale. The ...
