In this paper, the bearing capacities and failure behaviors of bolt-fastened wedge active
joints used in prestressed internal supports are studied. A thorough exploration of the design …

Bridge construction is one of the cores of traffic infrastructure construction. To better develop
relevant bridge science, this paper introduces the main research progress in China and …

Developing demountable structures that enable the replacement of damaged components
and the reuse of intact parts in their extended service-life is an effective approach to …

The residual stress and the dimensional distortion due to rapid temperature variation during
the welding process are often crucial for the life-cycle behavior of structures, especially for …

This paper presents a new demountable and modular light-gauge steel framed (DMLSF)
wallboard, which is composed of two C-shaped steel frames, one insulation frame fabricated …

Facing increasing sustainability demands, the construction industry is at a turning point
