Hangers or suspenders in cable-supported bridges are key load transfer components.
These members are vulnerable to sudden fracture due to accidental damage, corrosion …

Cable-stayed bridges are infrastructure facilities of a highly public nature; therefore, it is
essential to ensure operational safety and prompt response in the event of a collapse or …

The recent trend of increasing global terrorist attacks and identified vulnerabilities
associated with critical bridges highlights the necessity to protect cable-stayed bridges from …

This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the damage mode of the strand
cables under explosions, followed by an assessment of the residual capacity of the blast …

This paper presents the development and application of comprehensive numerical
modelling techniques to simulate the blast response of cable supported façades (CSFs) and …

As a critical part of the current infrastructure system, long-span bridges are directly exposed
to adverse environments, such as floods, scours, hurricanes, etc., and dynamic loads such …

This research developed techniques to determine the response of cable supported glass
facades to credible blast events and evaluated the effects of controlling parameters …

High-fidelity finite element analysis simulations of prestressed concrete beams are
becoming increasingly common for situations that involve extreme load cases, such as blast …

Over the past two decades, blast loads have been recognised as one of the extreme loading
events that must be considered in the design of important structures such as cable-stayed …
