Deriving a load model for the braking force on road bridges: Comparison between a deterministic and a probabilistic approach
Katrin Beyer, André-Gilles Dumont, Marc-Antoine Fénart, Glauco Feltrin
The current provisions for the braking force in the Eurocodes are much more demanding than previously enforced national codes from most European countries. Hence, safety assessments of existing bridges may show a lack of compliance with the new safety requ ...
Springer International Publishing2016Defining a braking probability to estimate extreme braking forces on road bridges
Katrin Beyer, André-Gilles Dumont, Marc-Antoine Fénart, Glauco Feltrin
A probabilistic approach is necessary to estimate the magnitude of the braking force that compares in terms of return period with the vertical traffic loads present in bridge design codes. A data set from a Danish Field Operational Test served as support t ...
2015Fatigue Life Assessment of Existing Motorway Bridge
Alain Nussbaumer, André-Gilles Dumont, Luca D'Angelo, Marc-Antoine Fénart
The aim of this paper is to provide a fatigue-life assessment of an existing composite steel-concrete bridge within Switzerland. The Venoge bridge is a 219 meters length, four spans, four girder composite bridge, situ-ated on the Geneva-Lausanne Swiss moto ...
CRC Press/Balkema2013Realistic laboratory curing of bituminous mixtures
André-Gilles Dumont, Michel Pittet, Marc-Antoine Fénart
In order to perform some specific testing, road laboratories apply a preliminary thermal treatment that impacts the asphalt mixture mechanical and intrinsic properties. The current standardisation in Switzerland and in Europe does not sufficiently describe ...
