The destructive force of near-fault earthquakes presents a significant challenge to railway
bridges. To enhance the seismic resilience of railway bridges under such conditions, a …

The energy-based method (EBM) has been improved as Energy-based Multimodal
Pushover Method (EMPM), and is introduced and verified to be effective and convenient for …

The promising design philosophy of rocking isolation was adopted to retrofit the aged
bridges with single-column piers, namely single-column rocking piers. To estimate its …

A series of studies on track dynamic irregularity caused by earthquake-induced damage
should be conducted in order to guarantee safe operation of high-speed trains. In this study …

Conventional pier top isolation measures cannot reduce the inertial force produced by
railway gravity tall piers. This may damage the pier column and pile foundation during strong …

Rocking piers have significant advantages in limiting the residual post-earthquake
displacement of the pier top and reducing thus the structural damage. However, the …

The seismic damage to ancillary facilities on high-speed railway (HSR) bridges can affect
the normal movement of trains. To propose the bridge deck acceleration response spectra of …

There are still many problems to be solved in the rapid construction of unequal-span
continuous rigid bridge, and it is urgent to study the key technology of high pier construction …

Near-fault ground motions may cause serious damage and consequence of high-speed
railway bridges (HSRBs), since their particularly detrimental effects, including the hanging …

Traditional methods for analyzing the P-Δ effect in tall structures often fail to fully account for
time-varying axial forces, potentially underestimating the impact of the P-Δ effect on …
