Abstract: Highway bridge piers could be underdesigned for a multihazardous condition involving vehicle collision and air blast based on the current design code. The piers are often positioned in such a fashion that it is neither ...

Abstract: The extreme multihazardous event involving a truck collision and an air blast is a low-probability, high-consequence event for bridge piers. This study aimed to numerically investigate the performance and failure modes of ...

Abstract: Columns are the primary load-carrying components in the bridge, and column failure could initiate the collapse of the entire bridge. Estimates of residual axial capacity for round, bridge pier columns under combined vehicle ...
