This paper introduces a novel damage ratio index (DRI) that can be used to define the
expected damage due to impact scenarios of vehicles striking bridge piers. The DRI is …

Among various alternatives developed for conventional reinforced concrete, ultra-high
performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is proven to provide superior mechanical …

As a promising strengthening solution, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets have
been used to improve the structural response of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) in …

Concrete structures are commonly exposed to low velocity impact loads originating from
windborne/waterborne debris, vehicle/vessel collision, and rock fall. For the performance …

Collision of vehicles into RC bridge columns can result in significant damage to individual
bridge components, leading to partial or full collapse of the entire bridge. Among various …

Collision of overheight vehicles into bridge superstructures often leads to structural damage,
posing an immediate risk to the safety of motorists and the functionality of bridges …

In the event of a hailstorm, several stakeholders, such as home and business owners, as
well as insurance companies, are in immediate need to make a decision on repair or …

Barges offer a safe and cost-effective means for transporting commodities in inland
