A Comprehensive Review of Hinge Joints in Hollow-core Slab Bridges: Failure Mechanisms, Load-Transfer Behavior and Strengthening Techniques
ChenYu Chang · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2026
Hinge joints in hollow-core slab bridges are critical transverse links that integrate multiple slabs into a unified bridge structure, yet they are also the most vulnerable weak points prone to deterioration, potentially leading to structural crises through “single-slab behavior.”...
