Abstract: AbstractThe steel-box girder with large cantilevers (named here as a cantilever steel-box girder), an innovative girder of a cable-stayed bridge, offers a unique solution by accommodating both highway and railway on the ...

Abstract: AbstractThe detection and analysis of structural cracks in concrete bridges remain a critical challenge, particularly for routine inspections of key components such as beams, piers, and pavement. Cracks serve as vital ...

Abstract: At first, we proposed the concept of nominal rigidity of a long-span V-shaped rigid frame composite arch bridge, analyzed the effects of structural parameters on nominal rigidity, and derived a theoretical nominal rigidity ...

Abstract: Because of their large stiffness and spanning capability, continuous rigid frame arch bridges are attracting increasing interest in the development of high-speed railway networks in China. The internal loadings are associated ...

Abstract: AbstractBeam–column connections are vulnerable parts of a frame pier under lateral earthquake. This paper proposes a novel double-stage yielding beam–column connection (DYC) for seismic damage control. The main feature is ...
