This paper investigates the seismic performance and vulnerability of multi-span Reinforced
Concrete (RC) bridges with unequal height piers exposed to varied corrosion damage …

Abstract In this paper, Equal Strength Mild Steel Tenons (ESMSTs) have been developed as
a candidate for displacement restraining device of long-span railway arch bridges. They are …

This article investigates the seismic fragility of ageing irregular multi-span reinforced
concrete (RC) bridges. Different irregularity sources are considered, including:(i) …

Economical laminated rubber bearings (LRBs) have been a widely-accepted choice for
supporting and transferring the loads of the superstructure in highway bridges, particularly …

Base isolators and fluid viscous dampers are viable protective devices that have been
commonly considered in the seismic protection of civil engineering structures. However, the …

A component-replaceable U-shaped combined steel damper (UCSD) was presented as an
energy dissipation device to mitigate the seismic damage of high-speed railway track-bridge …

Existing field data demonstrates that structures situated near faults, such as slopes, dams,
and bridges, are particularly vulnerable to damage. Near-fault ground motions exhibit …

Concrete bridge piers are vulnerable to strong ground motions because of inducing
significant residual drifts, which reduce the seismic resilience of bridges. A broad range of …

Utilizing the inelastic deformation of a steel damper to dissipate seismic energy and control
structural damage is a prevalent design strategy in a passive control field. Such a design …
