Fatigue Damage Factor Calibration for Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge Decks

Alain Nussbaumer, José Joaquim Costa Branco de Oliveira Pedro, Cláudio Alexandre Pereira Baptista

Part 2 of the Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-2) proposes a straight forward fatigue verification method using a single heavy vehicle model (FLM3) and a damage equivalent factor, lambda, to represent the fatigue damaging effects of the real traffic on road bridges. Th ...

Quantiﬁcation of traﬃc and temperature eﬀects on the fatigue safety of a reinforced-concrete bridge deck based on monitoring data

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane, Amol Mankar

For assessment of existing reinforced-concrete bridges, only few rules and recommendations are available, and engineers meanwhile apply design codes for new bridges to evaluate the fatigue safety of existing bridges leading to non-realistic approaches and ...

Probabilistic reliability framework for assessment of concrete fatigue of existing RC bridge deck slabs using data from monitoring

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane, Amol Mankar

Assessment of existing bridge structures for inherent safety level or for lifetime extension purposes is often more challenging than designing new ones. With increasing magnitude and frequency of axle loads, reinforced concrete bridge decks are susceptible ...

CHARACTERIZATION OF TENSILE BEHAVIOR IN UHPFRC THIN SLAB USING NDT METHOD AND DIC SYSTEM

Eugen Brühwiler, Xiujiang Shen

Proper test and analysis methods are necessary for characterizing the tensile behavior of strain hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) accurately and representatively. In this paper, the direct tensile tests (DT ...

“Pocket-Monitoring” for the fatigue safety verification of bridge members in steel and reinforced concrete

Eugen Brühwiler

The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct as well as the riveted steel girders of a 130 year old railway bridge was questioned based on the results of conventional assessment consisting in "re-c ...

Rotational stiffness of web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP decks

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

The rotational behavior of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck system with trapezoidal cell cross-sectional geometry was investigated. The rotational response of three WFJ types, in two bending m ...

Experimental validation of a railway bridge made of a reinforced UHPFRC-T-beam

Eugen Brühwiler

The material UHPFRC is not yet used in the field of bridge construction regularly. The reasons are missing codes and allurements for innovation in the structural engineering. Nevertheless, UHPFRC has many advantages, which are significant compared to the u ...

A multi-scale based cohesive zone model for the analysis of thickness scaling effect in fiber bridging

John Botsis, Luis Pablo Canal Casado

A cohesive zone model (CZM) is proposed to assess the thickness scaling effect associated with fiber bridging during fracture. The CZM was developed through a multi-scale simulation approach and utilizes an embedded cell model of the Double Cantilever Beam ...

Multiaxial and variable amplitude fatigue in steel bridges

Cláudio Alexandre Pereira Baptista

Modern bridge construction all over Europe in the last decades, has highlighted the importance of steel solutions for the design of bridges. Steel bridges have become slender and lighter with the generalisation of welded connections. These features increas ...

Large scale fiber bridging in mode I intralaminar fracture. An embedded cell approach

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas, Luis Pablo Canal Casado

Fiber reinforced composites can develop large scale bridging upon mode I fracture. This toughening mechanism depends on the constituents and the geometry of the specimen, and is especially important in unidirectional laminates when fracture is parallel to ...
