Sentence examples for class of bridge from inspiring English sources

Both of the repair/strengthening systems were found to perform satisfactorily, suggesting that either could be used as a viable remedial strengthening strategy for this class of bridge structure.

The necessity of incorporating soil-structure interaction in the design of a wide class of bridge structures has been pointed out by several post-earthquake investigations, experimental, and analytical studies (Committee of Earthquake Engineering 1996; Vlassis and Spyrakos 2001; Trifunac and Todorovska 1996; Megawati et al. 2001).

Outcomes are used to examine the above parameters affecting seismic demands and fragility curves for this class of bridges.
