In this study, the performance and damage behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns
under lateral soft impact are comprehensively investigated using 3D finite element (FE) …

In recent years, the vehicle collision on bridge has brought huge economic losses and
casualties, and these accidents have caused wide attention. The dynamic responses of …

In the present study, reliability analysis is carried out to evaluate the structural safety of
prototype reinforced concrete (RC) columns under lateral impact loading. Since RC columns …

Damage to building load-bearing members (especially columns) under explosions and
impact are critical issues for structures, given that they may cause a progressive collapse …

Rockfall is one kind of major hazard that seriously threatens the safety of bridge structures
passing through mountainous areas. The complexity of geological conditions in …

Isolated columns have proven to effectively improve the seismic performance of buildings,
bridges, and underground structures subjected to strong earthquakes. However, considering …

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the blasting performance and failure
mechanism of small box girder bridges with simply supported boundary. To represent a …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the lateral impact behaviour of
concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) box beams and columns. A total of 20 …

Heavy vehicle collisions have been reported as one of the major causes of normal concrete
(NC) bridge pier failure due to its low crashworthiness. Ultra-high performance concrete …

Beam-column joints are critical elements in a special moment resisting frames as they
govern the structural behavior and failure mechanisms under extreme events such as …
