Abstract: This study investigates the seismic performance of round-ended railway bridge piers subjected to transverse bridge loading. Six scaled models of bridge piers with low-reinforcement ratios, low axial compression ratios, and ...

Abstract: Due to its complex geometry and mechanical behavior, the prestress design of the cable–pylon anchorage zone is difficult to achieve but critical. In this paper, the use of the strut-and-tie model (STM) is evaluated to ...
