One promising technique for the seismic design of highway bridges with steel superstructures is to dissipate energy through the inelastic deformation of the end cross frames. These so-called ductile ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have carried out a detailed simulation showing how a common type of bridge fails during large-scale earthquakes. They modeled “I-shaped ...
WINFIELD -- The first steel girders for the nearly mile-long bridge near Lewisburg that will carry Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway over the West Branch of the Susquehanna River are expected to be ...
There are more than 600,000 bridges in the United States, and many were designed with a 50-year lifespan. 47,000 American bridges were recently deemed “structurally deficient” by the American Road & ...
The proposed third bridge across the Willamette River in Salem would likely be made of concrete rather than steel arches or steel girders. After narrowing the list of potential bridge designs, the ...
An aerial drone photo taken on Nov. 4, 2024 shows the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge's first steel truss girder, weighing about 215 tonnes, being hoisted to its designated position for installation in ...
The first steel girders, which are beams that support the deck for the new Grand Avenue traffic bridge, are scheduled to arrive in February and will span from the abutment in the Hot Springs Pool ...
