Steel cables serve as the key structural components in long-span bridges, and the force
state of the steel cable is deemed to be one of the most important determinant factors …

The ability to sense the environment and react on thermal and mechanical stimulus make
the use of smart materials a promising alternative in the design of structures. The design of …

There are no contemporary code requirements for the fire resistance of bridge infrastructure,
nor is there guidance available for practitioners who wish to design cable-supported …

Creep in structural steels at high temperatures has been widely observed in experiments;
however its inclusion in numerical simulations has been limited due to lack of experimental …

This paper demonstrates a simple method to enhance visibility through clean-burning
flames that allows new opportunities to perform optical metrology in fire research. The …

When prestressing steel (PS) is applied as continuous unbonded tendons within concrete,
as in the case of post‐tensioned (PT) construction, localized damage to the tendons may …
