TL;DR: In this article, the seismic performance of a sea-crossing cable-stayed bridge is comprehensively evaluated based on the fragility function methodology, and the effect of seawater on the bridge seismic responses is modeled using the hydrodynamic added mass method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental behavior of precast segmental columns under impact loading is investigated through laboratory tests, and the deformation-to-failure processes of the columns were monitored by a high-speed camera, and used to investigate the response of different columns under different impact loads.

TL;DR: In this article, three dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models for two precast segmental columns are developed to predict the responses of such columns under lateral cyclic loading.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a modeling and simulation method of seafloor seismic motions on offshore sites, which are composed of the base rock, the porous soil layers and the seawater layer, based on the fundamental hydrodynamics equations and one-dimensional wave propagation theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a precast segmental column has attracted a lot of interests over the past decade and it has become more and more popular in construction industry to achieve fast construction, improve construction quali...
