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 …

In this paper, the reliability analysis of a girder bridge pier is presented when exposed to the
combinations of barge collision and blast loads based on the finite element (FE) simulations …

Marine vessel design plays a key role in optimizing global trade, environmental
sustainability, and technological advancements in naval architecture. However, a …

The risk of ship–bridge collisions should be evaluated using advanced models to consider
different anti-collision and bridge-protection measures. This study aimed to propose a …

This paper aims to probabilistically assess the multiple failure modes of the piers of St.
George Island Bridge subjected to barge collisions using the correlation analyses of failure …

Over a bridge's service life, physical damage, such as material deterioration, accidental
impact, and overloading, can decrease its load-carrying capacity. To assess the integrity and …

When a maintenance and operations ship is berthing, there is a chance the ship may collide
into the wind turbine. When these ships collide into wind turbine structures, this can result in …

The concept of disaster resilience has emerged to describe the holistic ability of civil
infrastructure systems to withstand various hazards by preventing initial disruptions …

Effective and convenient prediction of the peak displacement of piles under collision
conditions facilitates the design framework preparation and pile damage evaluation. Hence …

Regular safety inspections of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures are required
according to the regulations and criteria set by each country. In South Korea, the safety …
