Abstract: Large-scale connecting segments can provide reasonable load transition in hybrid girders, and have been broadly used in long-span cable-stayed bridges. However, the large volume of concrete in connecting segments bears a ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) have been used extensively as main members with different inclinations in bridge structures; however, investigations on the influence of member inclination on temperature gradient are ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) trusses are the most common elements used in long-span CFST bridges; however, the temperature actions have not been systematically investigated. This paper presents a long-term temperature ...

Abstract: A novel integral built-up box Y-joint welded to rectangular hollow section braces and concrete-filled square hollow section chord stiffened by perfobond ribs was proposed and studied in fatigue. Eight specimens, including ...
