The use of prefabricated structural elements is an integral part of many accelerated bridge construction (ABC) efforts. The connection of these prefabricated elements to the rest of the structural ...

Conventional bridge construction involves a time-consuming process associated with traffic delays and risk to public safety. In contrast, prefabricated bridge systems can expedite construction, thus ...

University researchers have unveiled a new concrete bridge bent system that they say reduces earthquake damage while speeding construction. The new rocking design uses octagonal, prefabricated, ...

The resilience of modern structures under seismic and lateral forces is highly dependent on the performance of slab‐column connections. These joints are critical for transferring loads effectively ...
