Analysis of a bridge approach: long-term behaviour from short-term response

Giacomo Ognibene, Prof William Powrie, Dr Louis Le Pen and Dr John Harkness 15th Railway Engineering Conference, Edinburgh, U.K. 3rd July 2019 Abstract Transition zones are locations where trackbed support conditions change abruptly, for example from an earth embankment onto a bridge. The track geometry at these sites degrades faster than regular railway track, requiring …

Formation, Growth, and Failure of Debris Jams at Bridge Piers

Research Article Diego Panici  Gustavo A. M. de Almeida First published in Water Resources Research for American Geophysical Union AGU: 24 August 2018 https://doi.org/10.1029/2017WR022177 Abstract The accumulation of large wood debris around bridge piers obstructs the flow, producing increased upstream water levels, large horizontal structural loadings, and flow field modifications that can considerably exacerbate scour.
