Abstract: Use of precast substructure in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has been gaining popularity due to its advantages over traditional cast-in-place (CIP) construction. When using vertical precast members (e.g., columns ...

Abstract: An outdoor test was conducted on a prefabricated column–pile cap–pile system at a cohesive soil site. The half-scale test unit consisted of a precast bridge column, a precast pile cap, and eight steel piles. The components ...

Abstract: A half-scale field test was conducted on a pile group installed at a stiff clay site. The pile group consisted of eight steel H-piles, with a battered pile at each corner, and connected to a precast pile cap using preformed ...

Abstract: Fractal lattice is a kind of lattices with multifunctional physical characteristics and superior mechanical properties. The wave propagation of the triangular lattice with Koch fractal is calculated by the finite element ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers, one of the most widely used pier types, are vulnerable to damage during an earthquake and may not have sufficient durability against the harsh environment. To tackle these problems, ...
