To ensure the safety of bridges during horizontal rotation, we propose a method through which it is possible to evaluate stability structures in real time by measuring vibration acceleration rotating structure. First, characteristics collected rotation typical high-speed railway bridge were compared with results finite element analysis. Second, analytic formula calculate ratio and pier-bottom-s...

Damage due to earthquake is commonly related to substantial direct and indirect losses, highlighting the need for damage detection and retrofit prioritization based on the results of the seismic risk assessment of the road network. In this context, numerous methodologies have been developed for the seismic vulnerability assessment of bridges for different levels of seismic hazard using fragilit...

In this paper, the theoretical justification and the numerical verification of the anomalous scattering from cavities partially filled with metamaterials are presented. A hybrid numerical formulation based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) and on the Boundary Integral (BI) for the analysis of cavity backed structures with complex loading metamaterials is first presented. The proposed approach ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) Confinement effect Fuzzy logic Modified learning from example (MLFE) Axial load capacity A circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) has several advantages compared with the conventional reinforced concrete member or hollow steel tube, since the tri-axial state of compression of the concrete infill increases its strength and str...
