Abstract: The dynamic response and critical state of an inelastic simply supported column under an axial impact are studied. This problem is analyzed by solving the dynamic Bernoulli‐Euler equation with an axial inertia effect within ...

Abstract: Clustering stud shear connectors with minimized spacing based on specifications to form group studs are useful for concrete slab prefabrication and prestress installation efficiency in steel-concrete composite bridges. To ...

Abstract: The stress state around a rib-to-deck (RD) joint in an orthotropic steel bridge deck is extremely sensitive to wheel-load location in the transverse direction. Fatigue cracks of various types can occur around the RD joint. ...
