Assessment of the Environmental Impacts of Bridge Designs Involving UHPFRC

Eugen Brühwiler, Célia Marine Küpfer, Numa Joy Bertola

Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) has been developed to design lightweight structures and enhance existing designs. As the environmental footprint of the construction industry must be significantly reduced, the potenti ...

The influence of casting position and disturbance induced by reinforcement on the structural concrete strength

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

It is well known that control specimens used to assess the concrete strength of new structures have different casting and curing conditions than those of actual structures. Notably, after pouring of the concrete and before its hardening, a number of phenom ...

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 ...

Comparing methodologies for structural identification and fatigue life prediction of a highway bridge

Ian Smith, Alain Nussbaumer, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Accurate measurement-data interpretation leads to increased understanding of structural behavior and enhanced asset-management decision making. In this paper, four data-interpretation methodologies, residual minimization, traditional Bayesian model updatin ...

Connection systems between composite sandwich floor panels and load-bearing walls for building rehabilitation

Thomas Keller, Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido

The use of advanced composites for building rehabilitation presents several advantages when compared with traditional construction materials. When degraded building floors need to be replaced, composite sandwich panels are a potentially interesting solutio ...

Internal slab-column connections under monotonic and cyclic imposed rotations

Aurelio Muttoni, Katrin Beyer, Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos

Reinforced concrete flat slabs supported by slender columns are often used as gravity load resisting system for buildings in regions of moderate seismicity. Current codes of practice determine the displacement capacity of slab-column connections using empi ...

Deployment of a tensegrity footbridge

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

Deployable structures are structures that transform their shape from a compact state to an extended in-service position. Structures composed of tension elements that surround compression elements in equilibrium are called tensegrity structures. Tensegritie ...

Structural limits of FRP-balsa sandwich decks in bridge construction

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Michael Osei-Antwi

The span limits of two glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge concepts involving GFRP-balsa sandwich plates are discussed. The sandwich plates were either used directly as slab bridges or as decks of a hybrid sandwich-steel girder bridges. In the lat ...
