Testing of stiff physical substructures (PSs) still poses major technical issues that prevent
from adopting hybrid simulation (HS) as a standard structural testing method. Firstly, elastic …

An unbonded fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolator (U-FREI) is a relatively new type of
elastomeric bearing that can be implemented as a seismic isolator for bridges. U-FREIs …

Shear keys play an important role in constraining the relative transverse movement between
the deck of a bridge and its abutments. Shear keys are normally regarded as secondary …

A finite element analysis (FEA) model is established to investigate the concrete-encased
concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column to reinforced concrete (RC) beam joints under …

Composite materials are widely used in different engineering fields and they are very
efficient for engineering applications. Several composite materials are in use along with the …

The simple for dead load and continuous for live load (SDCL) steel bridge system has
proven to be economical for nonseismic application. Although the system has been used in …
