Cable-stayed bridges play a critical role in modern infrastructure by merging aesthetic appeal with engineering efficiency. Their design and optimisation involve a delicate balance of cable force ...
A new study published in Engineering presents an innovative cyclic construction method for steel–ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) composite truss (SUCT) arch bridges, addressing key challenges ...
The arch is squeezed together, and this squeezing force is carried outward along the curve to the supports at each end. The supports, called abutments, push back on the arch and prevent the ends of ...
