INFLUENCE OF BRIDGE PIERS ON VELOCITY UNDER UNSTEADY FLOWS

3D Numerical Study on Scouring Around Bridge Piers Under Unsteady Flow Condition

Local scouring around the bridges piers has always been considered as a problem, especially in rivers. If we do not take the necessary actions to avoid the occurrence of this phenomenon or to reduce its influence, then the bridge's piers will be destroyed. Placing the bridge piers' foundation far from the earth's surface will turn out in a plan which is not economic at all. Experimental studies...

Experimental Investigation of Seismically Resistant Bridge Piers under Blast Loading

This paper reports the findings of research examining the blast resistance of bridge piers that are designed in accordance with current knowledge and specifications to ensure ductile seismic performance. Blast testing was conducted on 1/4 scale ductile RC columns, and nonductile RC columns retrofitted with steel jacketing. The seismically designed RC and steel jacketed RC columns did not exhibi...

Vulnerability Reduction for Bridge Piers

degradation of oil impregnated paper insulation under influence of repetitive fast high voltage impulses

در طی سالهای اخیراستفاده ازمنابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در شبکه های مدرن بنا به دلایل زیست محیطی و اقتصادی به طور گسترده استفاده شده است همچون نیروگاههای بادی و خورشیدی .ولتاژتولیدی این نیروگاهها اغلب به فرم dc می باشد وادوات الکترونیک قدرت به عنوان مبدل و پل بین شکل موج dc وac استفاده می شوند.این پروسه باعث ایجاد پالسهایی برروی شکل موج خروجی می شود که می تواند وارد تجهیزات قدرت همچون ترانسفورماتور ی...

Experimental Investigation of Multihazard Resistant Bridge Piers Having Concrete-Filled Steel Tube under Blast Loading

This paper presents the development and experimental validation of a multizard bridge pier concept, i.e., a bridge pier system capable of providing an adequate level of protection against collapse under seismic and blast loading but not acting simultaneously . A multicolumn pier-bent with concrete-filled steel tube CFST columns is the proposed concept, and the adequacy of this system is experim...
