Physical modeling of local scour around complex bridge piers
Local scour around bridge foundations has been recognized as one of the main causes of bridge failures. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationships among field, laboratory, and numerical data for the purpose of improving scour prediction methods for complex bridge piers. In this …

Rosslyn Waterfront Complex: Bridge the City and the River Architecturally
I consider that either walking along the riverbank or floating down the river by boat and enjoying the journey by interacting with nature is a fundamental human right. Wandering in the concrete jungle, humming while beatboxing, dancing, and skateboarding can also be great pleasures. However, as …

Nonlinear earthquake analysis of wall pier bridges
Accurately predicting the response of complex bridge structures to strong earthquake ground motion requires the use of sophisticated nonlinear dynamic analysis computer programs not generally available to the bridge design engineer. The analytical tools that have been developed are generally …

Elastomeric bearings in high demand applications : numerical study and experimental validation
… disk bearings are typically used in high-demand bridge applications where significant demands are imposed on bearings at the supports to accommodate rotations and complex bridge movements from both environmental thermal loads and vehicular traffic. However, past bridge research, design, and …

System reliability analysis of structures subjected to fatigue induced sequential failures using evolutionary algorithms
… caused the collapse of the Grand Sung-Soo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea on October 21, 1994. Due to a lack of structural redundancy, the initial bridge rib failure was followed by other bridge failures leading to system collapse. With proper system reliability analysis, such cascading …

Bridging River's Edge Sports Complex
… this sports facility is the River's Edge Sports Complex located in Roanoke, Virginia. A unique setting because the Roanoke River nearly cuts through the center of this site dividing the northern half with the existing football stadium, Victory Stadium, the National Guard Reserve Armory, and Maher …
