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 …

Concrete is brittle; hence, it is incredibly likely that concrete buildings may fail in both local
and global ways under dynamic and impulsive stresses. An extensive review investigation …

This study aims to numerically analyze the dynamic responses and damage/failure of bridge
substructure during the vehicle-pier collisions, by employing the refined finite element (FE) …

This study explores the performance-based design of a composite material named carbon
fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) grid-reinforced engineering cementitious composite (ECC) …

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 …

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

Bridge piers designed according to the seismic specifications are likely to be subjected to
the accidental vehicular collisions during its service life cycle, while the correlations between …

The paper aims to develop a new protective structure based on ultra-high performance fiber
reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) to protect bridge columns against vehicle collisions and to …

Reinforced concrete slabs can be exposed to explosive and impact loads, prompting
extensive research into their behavior under various static and dynamic loading conditions …

Recently, vehicle collisions with bridge piers have occurred frequently, which have attracted
the attention of researchers. However, as one of the most important research methods …
