Abstract: Design, construction, and maintenance of large-span bridges require an accurate assessment of the temperature field in flat steel box girders (FSBGs). While this field is controlled by various environmental (meteorological) ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a first-ever experimental study on the axial compressive behavior of large-scale square reinforced concrete (RC) columns confined with polyethylene naphthalate (PEN)/terephthalate (PET) ...

Abstract: The long-span bridge, characterized by slenderness and flexibility, is particularly sensitive to wind action. Extreme wind events, including typhoons and hurricanes, will threaten the safety and serviceability of long-span ...
