Rockfall impact on bridge piers poses a challenge to the safety of bridge structures in
mountainous regions. Hollow reinforced concrete (RC) piers are one of the popular …

The damage and collapse of the reinforced concrete (RC) piers subjected to rockfall impact
occur frequently in mountainous areas. In the present scrutiny, a full-scale numerical model …

Rockfall disasters pose a significant threat to bridge structures in mountainous areas. Most
of the destroyed bridge structures in mountainous regions are impacted by rockfalls to …

Continuous rigid-frame bridges across valleys are often at risk of rockfalls caused by heavy
rainfalls, earthquakes, and debris flow in a mountainous environment. Hollow thin-walled …

A spherical falling rock is usually assumed in the design of reinforced concrete (RC) sheds.
Little attentions have been paid to the effects of falling rock's shape on impact force and …

The nonlinear dynamic behavior of rocking bridge piers with different configurations was
numerically investigated in this study when subjected to vehicle collisions using finite …

The nonlinear dynamic responses of UHPFRC-strengthened monolithic and rocking
concrete bridge piers with different configurations including the rocking monolithic pier …

Rockfall disasters pose a significant threat in mountainous areas, leading to severe damage
and potential collapse of transportation infrastructure. On the other hand, the concrete and …

In this paper, a discussion is presented about the impact‐induced damage suffered by
bridge pier columns during rockfall events through model tests and impact force, column top …

Abstract The Dujiangyan-Wenchuan highway serves as a vital passage to and from the
region severely damaged by the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake in China. Chediguan Bridge is …
