Vulnerability is a fundamental component of risk and its understanding is important for
characterising the reliability of infrastructure assets and systems and for mitigating risks. The …

Abstract Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are robust structures without joints and bearings,
hence they are less vulnerable to natural and manmade hazards, whilst they require …

The study analyzes the influence of double concave friction pendulum (DCFP) isolator
properties on the seismic performance of isolated multispan continuous deck bridges. The …

Earthquake ground motions may vary significantly at multiple supports of long-span bridges,
such as cable-stayed bridges, due to the incoherence, wave-passage, and site-response …

Seismic responses of ordinary highway bridges that feature stiff superstructures have been
shown to be strongly affected by abutment-backfill interactions. Seismic risk assessment of …

This study work is related to exploring the role of connected wing walls in changing the
behaviour of a metakaolin geopolymer wall type abutment when acted upon by all the forces …

Reuse of the 1.5 billion waste tyres that are produced annually is a one of the major
worldwide challenges, as waste tyres are toxic and cause pollution to the environment. In …

Bridges are one of the most critical parts of transportation networks that may suffer damages
against earthquakes. Also, seismic responses of most bridges are significantly influenced by …

Abstract Model-updating hybrid tests were conducted to reveal the seismic behaviour of a
typical reinforced-concrete (RC) rigid-frame thin-walled tall pier bridge. The bottom of the left …

Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are jointless structures without bearings or expansion joints
which require minimum or zero maintenance. The barrier to the application of long‐span …
