Considering the desirable behavior of concrete filled steel tube(CFT)columns and the complicated behavior of segmental double-column piers under cyclic loads,three post-tensioned precast segmental CFT double-column pi...
A two-dimensional mathematical model is used to simulate the influence of water flow on the piers of a bridge for different incidence angles.In particular,a finite volume method is used to discretize the Navier-Stokes...
The seismic behavior of horizontally curved bridges,particularly with unequal height piers,is more complicated than that of straight bridges due to their geometric properties.In this study,the seismic responses of sev...

For the lifetime assessment of the running safety of a train in aggressive environments and earthquake-prone areas,the effects of corrosion on seismic performance must be considered.Research on the running safety of t...
Unreinforced masonry(URM)made with soft bricks comprises a large percentage of the building stock in devel-oping countries.However,the poor performance of URM piers during earthquakes has led to renewed interest in un...

As the main seismic component of a bridge,seismic damage to the bridge pier has a greater effect on its subsequent service.In the offshore chloride environment,the issues(e.g.,reinforcement bar corrosion and attenuati...
In this paper,we report the turbulent flow structures and the scour geometry around two piers with different diameters.An experiment was conducted on a non-uniform sand bed with two types of tandem arrangements,namely...
