Purpose This article concentrates on rocking foundation which is one of the most effective
design alternatives to safeguard the super structure from excessive damage due to higher …

In this study, we conducted numerical parametric analyses to investigate the seismic
performance of a bridge pier with a spread footing on dense sandy ground. For the …

This study simulates the responses of large-scale bridge piers under pseudo-dynamic tests
to investigate the performance of four types of numerical models that consider the nonlinear …

Footings are normally used on firm ground. Previous studies have indicated that footings
with large vertical bearing capacity have small settlement and recentering characteristics …

Flooding induced scour has been long recognized as a major hazard to river-crossing
bridges. Many studies in recent years have attempted to evaluate the effects of scour on the …

A numerical study of soil-foundation system under monotonic and cyclic pushover loading is
conducted, taking into account both material and geometric nonlinearities. A complete and …

A modified silicone type thermoset polymer additive effect on impact energy absorption
capacity (EAC) values of cement pastes exposed to thermal cycles in water was investigated …

To mitigate the column damage during seismic events and to reduce the recovery time after
a major earthquake, a post-tensioned bridge column with a rocking interface above the …

A computationally simple method to calculate the static response of arbitrarily shaped
shallow foundations subjected to eccentric loading is proposed. A theoretical relationship to …
