Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become known for their specific
advantages for civil infrastructure construction. High corrosion resistance in particular is one …

Many systems are often subject to degradation and random shocks simultaneously, and
their failure is the competing results of soft and hard failures. Motivated by the example of …

This paper reports on the crushing behavior of several novel multi-layer lattice-web
reinforced double-braced composite cylinders composed of glass fiber reinforced polymer …

In recent years, the vehicle collision on bridge has brought huge economic losses and
casualties, and these accidents have caused wide attention. The dynamic responses of …

Ship–bridge collision is a common type of accident in bridge engineering which could cause
heavy casualties and economic losses. To ensure the safety of both the ships and bridges …

This paper reports on the energy absorption characteristics of four types of innovative foam-
filled multi-cell composite panels (FMCPs) composed of glass fiber reinforced polymer …

Abstract An innovative Large-scale Composite Bumper System (LCBS) for bridge piers
against ship collision was recently proposed at Nanjing Tech University. The modular …

The consequences caused by bridge failures owing to the ship-bridge collision are always
severe in terms of loss of life, economy, and environmental consequences to individuals and …

In this paper, an innovative Foam-filled Lattice Composite Bumper System (FLCBS) with
fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and a foam-web core is proposed as protective …

The flexible guided anti-collision device (FGAD) can prolong the impact time between ship
and pier, so that the ship has enough time and space to turn and deviate from the pier. In this …
