Precast concrete facilitates a construction method using durable and rapidly erectable
prefabricated members to create cost-effective and high-quality structures. In this method …

Posttensioned bridge rocking systems have emerged as an alternative to traditional ductility
design where substructure elements, such as columns and piles, are designed to dissipate …

Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) is a feature incorporating new technologies,
advanced planning, and new detailing to expedite bridge construction. Accelerated bridge …

Abstract Four 1/4-scale precast segmental bridge columns (PSBC) with different
reinforcement types and arrangements and one monolithic reference column (MRC) were …

A new earthquake resilient ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) bridge column was
proposed and fabricated with precast segmental construction. The bottom segment was …

This study focuses on structural systems, which are particularly attractive for bridge design.
Specifically, it investigates the seismic performance of single-column bridges, which are …

Constructions with precast technology have seen a fast development over the past several
decades. Despite advantages including short construction period, better quality control, less …

The flexural capacity of a well-designed RC column deteriorates under extreme ground
motion as a result of crushing of the core concrete and buckling of the longitudinal bars in …

A new bridge bent system has been developed to reduce on-site construction time, minimize
residual displacements even after a large earthquake, and reduce seismic damage in …

This paper presents the shake table test results of a novel system for the design of precast
reinforced concrete bridges. The specimen comprises a slab and four precast columns. The …
