recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering"

DOI: 10.1007/s10518-017-0116-8

Abstract: Abstract This paper quantifies the impact of the non-stationary content (time-varying parameters that are not captured by power spectral content alone) of different ground-motion types (near/far field, with/without pulses time-series) on the nonlinear dynamic response… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10518-025-02131-y

Abstract: Insufficient detail in the numerical modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers can lead to oversimplification between simulated and real column behaviour under seismic loading. This paper describes the development and validation of an advanced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10652-017-9529-9

Abstract: Scour is defined as the processes of removal of sediment particles from water stream bed by the erosive action of activated water, and also carries sediment away from the hydraulic structures. Scour is the main… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42241-019-0017-1

Abstract: The presence of bridge piers in natural rivers significantly changes the flow and boundary conditions. As a consequence, ice jams can often be initiated in front of bridge piers. With the changes in flow conditions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2017.01.071

Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the response of bridges founded on single, cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) piles under combined translational and rotational excitation. The input motion stems from kinematic interaction - a result of the relative flexibility between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2020.111100

Abstract: Abstract This study explores the effects of key design parameters on the performance of seismically deficient rectangular cross-section reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers strengthened with steel-reinforced polymer (SRP) composites. Nonlinear response of bridge piers was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2017.08.019

Abstract: Abstract Coastal bridge piers exposed to marine environments always suffer from non-uniform corrosion along the elevation. Severe degradation in the splash and tidal zone would significantly affect the seismic performance of the structure with a… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering"

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2019.105955

Abstract: Abstract Safety of a foundation under seismic loading is strongly dependent on the inertial forces transmitted by the superstructure, exchanged with the surrounding soil and acting into the foundation itself. The latter contribution, typically neglected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0283908

Abstract: This study presents a novel framework for optimizing the three-dimensional hydrodynamic shape of bottom-fixed sea-crossing bridge piers to minimize wave-induced force. The proposed method integrates a Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines-based parametric modeling approach for representing the… read more here.
