The steel-concrete composite girder bridge with V-shaped piers is a new type of bridge structure. It has both the unique mechanical performance of a combined continuous girder and that of a V-shaped pier bridge. At present, studies on the mechanical properties of steel main girders combined with concrete deck slabs are mainly focused on the substructure for vertical piers, but piers and girders are not solidified. However, if the V-shaped piers are cemented to the main girder, the performance of the V-shaped piers will directly affect the performance of the total superstructure. The steel main girder and concrete deck slab of a steel-composite girder are considered to be different parts of the same section. The joint section is used to simulate the changes in section stiffness of each section during the different stages of construction. In this paper, the first steel-concrete composite girder bridge with V-shaped piers is studied in detail. The effects of different influencing factors on the structural forces are investigated using finite element analysis. The results show that the force performance of this bridge type is strongly influenced by the structure. These can provide guidance for the design and construction of this bridge type, which is of great significance.

The spur dike is widely used in the waterway renovation project in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River as a remediation structure, but its water destruction is very common, and the influence of the permeable characteristics of the riprap spur dike on its stability has been neglected in many studies. Through the method of combining a generalized flume test and theoretical analysis, the influence of the submerged degree of the permeable spur dike, the porosity of the spur dike body, and the size of the void on its nearby turbulent kinetic energy is studied. The results show that the turbulent kinetic energy in the front of the spur dike increases with the increase of the submerged degree, decreases with the increase of the porosity, and first increases and then decreases with the increase of the pore size. At the axis of the dike, the turbulent kinetic energy increases with the increase of the submerged degree, decreases first and then increases with the increase of the porosity, and increases with the increase of the pore size. In the rear area of the dike, the turbulent kinetic energy decreases with the increase of the submerged degree, firstly decreases and then increases with the increase of the porosity, and first increases and then decreases with the increase of the pore size. The research results are of great significance to further understanding the water dike age of a permeable spur dike, and can provide scientific guidance for the design and restoration of spur dikes.

Subaerial landslides sliding into shallow water are physically modeled in a three-dimensional wave basin. The generated impulse waves are highly nonlinear, and a large-scale splash zone is formed above the waves. Such impulse wave characteristics are different from those from landslides into deep water that are completely submerged after sliding. The recorded wave profiles included three wave types, namely nonlinear oscillatory wave, nonlinear transition wave and bore-like wave, mainly depending on the relative slide thickness and slide Froude number at impact. Bore-like waves were possible produced only by landslides into shallow water in three-dimensional experiments. The conversion rate of landslide kinetic energy at impact into the wave train energy is 1 to 18%. Energy conversion characteristics are compared with other two- and three-dimensional studies on landslide-generated waves and the results are discussed.
