Abstract: To establish the unified description of strands in prestressed concrete girder bridge, NURBS strands model is presented with introducing Non-Uniform Rational Basic Spline (NURBS). Prestressed strands in design and construction ...

Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding the damage mechanism and destructive behavior of concrete girders is crucial for ensuring bridge safety. When designing bridges, the bridge deck pavement is often regarded as secondary dead load, and ...

Abstract: AbstractLocal scour around pile groups is an important and challenging problem in various engineering applications. In this work, we develop a semiempirical solution for the clear water local scour depth of pile groups on ...
