Constructional method of UHPC on steel deck of long span suspension bridge and in-situ experimental test
The Second Dongting Lake (SDTL) Bridge is the longest steel truss girder suspension bridge in China, which has a main span of 1480 m. To alleviate deterioration issues in the orthotropic steel deck (OSD), the steel-ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) li ...
EPFL2020Behaviour of stiffened extended shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force
Stiffened extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) are widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders or columns. Full-scale laboratory tests of stiffened extended shear tab conne ...
2018Finite element simulation of buckling of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections under gravity induced shear force
Extended shear tab connections (either in full-depth or partial-depth configurations) have been widely used to connect simply supported beams to the web of supporting girders. Full-scale laboratory tests of extended beam-to-girder shear tab connections dem ...
Structural Stability Research Council2016FULL SCALE TESTING OF EXTENDED BEAM-TO-COLUMN AND BEAMTO- GIRDER SHEAR TAB CONNECTIONS SUBJECTED TO SHEAR
This paper discusses the findings of an experimental program that was conducted to investigate the behaviour of extended shear tab beam-to-column and beam-to-girder connections that are commonly used in North America. The laboratory results showed that ext ...
2015Résistance au déversement des poutres métalliques de pont
Steel and steel-concrete composite bridges made of plate girders represent an economical structural form and are largely used for short and medium spans. Two parallel plate girders connected by cross-beams define a twin-girder bridge. This type of bridge t ...
EPFL2014Assessment of Shear Strength for Existing Bridges with Low Amounts of Shear Reinforcement
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Michael Markus Rupf
Design of concrete girder bridges has significantly evolved during the last decades. This has been particularly relevant with respect to shear design, motivated by changes in actions and design models. As a consequence, assessing the shear strength of exis ...
