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 ...

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 ...

A horizontally curved, precast- concrete, trapezoidal type of box-girder design that shaved some $9 million off an interchange project in Orlando, Fla., is attracting growing interest from the bridge ...
