The response of bridges subject to fire is an under researched topic despite the number of bridge failures caused by fire. Since available data shows that steel girder bridges are especially vulnerable to fire, this paper ...
The construction of bridges has been necessary for societies since ancient times, when the communication between and within towns, cities or communities was established. Until recently, the economic factor has been the ...
[EN] The construction sector is one of the most active sectors, with a high economic, environmental and social impact. For this reason, the sustainable design of structures and buildings is a trend that must be followed. ...
[EN] Short-to-medium span simply-supported (SS) railway bridges are prone to experience
high levels of vertical acceleration due to train passage. The necessity of predicting accurately
their dynamic behaviour for design, ...
