Abstract: AbstractExisting structures require to be reassessed for resilience when subjected to evolving load conditions over the years. For example, in the case of a bridge deck, a sustained trend of increase in the weight of ...

Abstract: Abstract Numerical modeling for analyzing complex phenomena occurring under transient conditions is well established. Even then, simplifying a vehicular collision to an equivalent static load is prevalent in the structural ...

Abstract: AbstractThe nonlinear dynamic interaction between soil and pile is a crucial factor in evaluating the performance of roadside piled-barrier systems during vehicle collisions. Previous studies have focused primarily on the ...

Abstract: Rigid barriers are commonly used as defense measures in hilly areas to contain falling boulders and landslide debris, and the sliding displacement of these barriers is a key design consideration when space is limited. A ...
