Abstract: Surface roughness, ice accretion, and atmospheric turbulence are important issues because they can considerably alter the aerodynamic characteristics of bridge cables. The present study describes wind-tunnel experiments ...

Abstract: Wind barriers are nowadays commonly placed on bridges to protect vehicles from adverse cross-wind effects. In addition to this beneficial influence, wind barriers may adversely affect the bridge dynamic stability. This is ...

Abstract: This article presents the seismic performance of a timber frame with three-dimensional (3D) rigid connections. The connections were made with self-tapping screws and hardwood blocks were used to support the beams. The frame ...

Abstract: This research focuses on evaluating the seismic properties of corrosion-damaged RC columns strengthened by bonded steel plate (BSP) and high-performance ferrocement laminate (HPFL). The mechanical properties are experimentally ...
