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 ...
Precise and robust predictions of autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete are essential to limit self-induced stresses and cracking in modern concrete structures. This paper presents predictions of autogenous shrinkage for three cement pastes of ...
The reduction of green-house gas emissions is one of the global challenges that our society is facing and the production of cement plays a major role because concrete is the most used material worldwide. For every 1000 kg of cement produced, 900 kg of CO2, ...
The addition of an external layer of reinforced ultrahigh performance fiber-reinforced concrete (R-UHPFRC) on top of reinforced concrete (RC) floor slabs and bridge decks is an emerging technique for strengthening RC structures. As an additional reinforcem ...
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 ...
There is a significant need to examine precisely the conditions of concrete road bridges because of the increasing traffic and axle loads and the fact that most existing bridges were not designed with respect to fatigue. In-situ investigations are challeng ...
Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) combined with steel rebars, subsequently called R-UHPFRC, is a promising building material implying a novel technology for the improvement of concrete structures. Steel rebars enhance effectively th ...
By reviewing some of the reinforced-concrete structures built in the early 20th century, this paper questions the geometrical aspects surrounding their design. It is well established that in the case of Robert Maillart’s designs, he relied on the logic of ...
The first cast-on site application of UHPFRC in Switzerland took place for the rehabilitation and widening of the bridge over river La Morge in 2004. Since then, over the last 10 years, this technology spread successfully in Switzerland for bridges and bui ...
