Reinforced concrete structures and structural members used in strategic infrastructures such
as highway bridges, high-rise buildings, etc. are inherently subjected to lateral impact loads …

The paper reviews the state-of-art in the studies of RC structures subjected to vehicle
collision. Failure modes, influencing factors and impact force response of different RC …

In this paper, a concrete damage plasticity model is presented for simulating the behaviour
of high-strength concrete; C60, C80 and C110 under static and dynamic loading conditions …

Despite many studies existed in the literature on the investigation of reinforced concrete
(RC) structures under impact or blast loads separately, this paper numerically evaluates the …

This paper presents a theoretical study on effects of combined impact and blast loadings on
the failure behaviors and dynamic responses of a typical reinforced concrete (RC) column …

Despite many studies on barge collisions with girder bridges in the literature, this paper
investigates the progressive damage behaviors and nonlinear failure modes of a cable …

This study calibrated the parameters of the continuous surface cap model (CSCM) for ultra-
high toughness cementitious composites (UHTCC) with compressive strength from 25 MPa …

Numerical simulations are utilized in this study to define the impact force profile generated
by vehicle collisions on reinforced concrete bridge columns (RCBCs) and classify the …

Bridge columns made of normal concrete are evidenced to be susceptible to vehicle
collisions. Particularly in the United States, vehicle collision has become one of the primary …

This paper aims to develop a strengthening method based on ultra-high performance fiber
reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) to improve the performance of a column under impact …
