Keywords: Accelerated bridge construction (ABC). Precast concrete. Segmental bridges. Seismic design. Shaking table tests. Vertical loads. Two-dimensional (2D) models. Nonlinear dynamic analyses.

The dynamic behaviour of pile foundations under seismic loads has become a pivotal research focus in civil engineering, particularly in regions prone to earthquakes. Recent investigations have ...

Different available analytical and experimental methodologies of local and global damage index (LDI and GDI) determination for bridges and buildings along with their mathematical expression are ...
