Abstract: The use of horizontally curved composite box-girder bridges in modern highway systems has become increasingly popular for economic as well as for aesthetic considerations. Based on a recent literature review on the design ...

Abstract: The use of horizontally curved composite multiple-box girder bridges in modern highway systems is quite suitable in resisting torsional and warping effects induced by highway curvatures. Bridge users react adversely to ...

Abstract: The results from a parametric study on the impact factors for 180 curved continuous composite multiple-box girder bridges are presented. Expressions for the impact factors for

Abstract: Composite concrete-steel spread (multispine) box girder bridges remain one of the most common types constructed. Current design practices in North America recommend few analytical methods for the design of such bridges in ...

Abstract: The mitigation of severe problems resulting from vehicle collisions with roadside objects has become one of the major research areas in automotive engineering. The literature review shows that few attempts in finite-element ...
