The hydrodynamic effect in ship-bridge collisions is usually considered by the constant
added mass (CAM) method in current studies. However, no research to date has examined …

In the past several decades, many approaches for assessing the impact load, dynamic
response and safety of bridge against ship collision have been developed. The purpose of …

This paper investigates the effects of corrosion and scouring on the barge impact fragility of
bridge structures. A typical four-span continuous reinforced concrete (RC) bridge is selected …

Growing incidents of pier cracks or even failure of the whole structure induced by ship-pier
collision have attracted social attention to the safety of water-crossing bridges. In this study …

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 …

Floating bridges over navigable fjords with exposed substructures are at risk of accidental
ship collisions. Other hazards such as extreme wind and wave loads are also critical for …

Over-height collisions into bridge superstructures often lead to structural damage, posing an
immediate risk to the safety of motorists and functionality of bridges. To ensure that the …

Flood events bring havoc to transportation assets including bridges, culverts, and roadways
on an annual basis. This has been an increasing trend in the recent years, especially in …

Barges offer a safe and cost-effective means for transporting commodities in inland
waterway systems. This, however, comes with the risk of barge collision into bridge piers that …

Force–deformation relationships of waterway vessels play an important role in the impact-
resistant design of bridge structures. Characterizations of barge bow force–deformation (ie …
