Lateral Movements of Bridge Embankments on Soft Soils: A Case Study Inspired Investigation
The potential for lateral deformation of bridge embankments is often overlooked. This oversight can result in unforeseen damage to the abutment and...
-
Comparative Study of Seismic Analysis and Design of Different Types of Bridge Abutments
An essential component of the economics of the entire bridge project is choosing the right kind of abutment given the site characteristics. This...
