China and Germany are countries with a lot of experience in the construction of high-speed
railway (HSR) bridges. Standardized design and construction of railway bridges has …

Bridges are vital components of high-speed rail (HSR) lines for crossing obstacles such as
valleys, rivers, and existing highways or railway lines. The main goal of this paper is to …

For creep and shrinkage investigations, relatively small cylindrical specimens are generally
exposed to constant climatic conditions. The derived mainly empirical prediction models are …

Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are a family of jointless bridges that have gained popularity
owing to their simplified designs and sustainable construction practices. IABs are small-and …

Track–bridge interaction (TBI) is an increasingly essential consideration for the design and
operation of railway bridges, especially for the innovative bridge structure systems that …

This contribution deals with the dynamic behaviour of railway bridges for high-speed traffic
and investigates the impact of changes to the structural system on the dynamic response …

In this paper, the structural behaviour of a long semi-integral HSRB, ie, Unstrut Viaduct,
under different traffic loads was studied by both SHM and static calculation using numerical …

Monolithically connected piers of semi-integral viaducts often experience large pier head
displacements due to shortening of the superstructure from creep and shrinkage as well as …

The integral abutment bridge (IAB) constituted by the superstructure and the substructure
can achieve a composite action responding as a single structural unit by eliminating or …

Integral bridges are gaining more and more interest lately because they are associated with
significant cost savings in building maintenance. However, the design of these bridges …
