For this, valuable lost knowledge was recovered to serve as a basis for further research, with the ultimate aim of helping today's engineers to intervene appropriately when preserving the functional and architectural value of heritage bridges...

... at the unique floating bridge strategy used in the 1950s before examining the deep-foundation approach of the 2010s. The US$4 billion Cuomo Bridge took advantage of new resources such as driven pipe piles more than 115 m in length, large-displacement isolation bearings and modular joints and the use...

...Manoj Verma, PhD; Shambhu Sharan Mishra, PhD The response of the substructures and foundation of a multi-span reinforced concrete (RC) integral bridge (IB) was studied in this work. The non-linear action of soil was modelled using the Drucker–Prager yield criterion soil spring model. A five-span IB...
