Bridges are an essential part of every road and transportation system, and all countries must
build bridges to improve their infrastructure. Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) is an …

Recent earthquakes illustrated that damage to highway bridges, as one of the critical
components of transportation systems, could lead to irreparable social and economic losses …

Abstract A Steel Corrugated-Plate Coupling Beam (SCPCB) formed by a steel corrugated
plate and its boundary elements has found its application as a coupling beam connecting …

The seismic performance of seven precast post-tensioned segmental (PPS) bridge piers is
investigated by quasi-static tests in this work. Five piers are reinforced by stainless energy …

Friction dampers were widely applied to the beam-column connections to dissipate
earthquake energy. The damage of buildings under earthquake could then be reduced …

Posttensioned precast segmental bridge piers have proven to be an attractive solution for
accelerated bridge construction and seismic resilience. Although extensive research efforts …

This study explores the creation of self-centering bridge bents with energy-dissipation (ED)
beams to enhance seismic resilience. This design combines the concepts of cast-in-place …

Double-column piers can be damaged in an earthquake, seriously affecting the safety and
use of bridges. The retrofitting of double-column piers using dampers is an important topic in …

Accelerated bridge construction technology, with its various connection methods, has
experienced extensive global usage. Common methods include post-tensioned, cast-in …

The posttensioned precast segmental concrete-filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST)
piers proposed in this study combines the advantages of posttensioned precast segmental …
