This study investigates the behavior of simple and continuous span steel box girder bridges
after various damage scenarios, including bracing failure and girder fracture, and develops …

Recently, the construction of composite steel plate girder bridges that uses precast concrete
deck planks has significantly increased due to their ease of construction, rapid installment …

The objective of this study is to comprehend the performance of twin steel box girder (TSBG)
bridges after complete fracture of one girder and to establish an outline of an approach for …

A large number of steel–concrete composite twin I-girder bridges have been built in both
Europe and Japan, but the lack of redundancy has always been a concern in the US and …

In steel girder bridges, fracture of one girder may occur without noticeable bridge profile
changes. It is critical to ensure that the bridge will have adequate capacity to prevent …

The horizontally curved continuous composite steel-concrete beams, for instance, curved
continuous composite bridges, have excellent qualities, such as quick construction, good …

An experimental program was performed to investigate the postfracture performance of
composite twin I-girder bridges in the fatigue crack condition. An intact specimen and a …

Renovation of the aged steel railway structures is of vital importance due to their long
service life after completion. A strengthening method for aged steel railway bridges by using …

In the next 20 years, more than half of the bridges in Japan would be in service for more than
50 years. These include truss bridges those are generally considered to be non-redundant …

A recent trend in bridge construction has been the optimization of the cost-to-performance
ratio. The most effective way to optimize the cost-to-performance ratio is to maximize the …
