This paper describes the quasi-static and fatigue performance of hybrid bridge girders composed of cellular FRP bridge decks and steel girders. The FRP bridge deck is connected adhesively to the steel girders and acts as the top chord of the hybrid section ...
This paper reports on a structural concept for engineering structures composed of FRP components to provide system ductility that compensates for the lack of material ductility inherent to FRP materials. The concept includes the use of redundant structural ...
the bridges over the river Capriasca (1996) and over the river Ticino (1997) are characterised by the application of an innovative structural system. The central part of the main span of both bridges is constituted by the bridge concrete deck with two long ...
A methodology for modeling multi-layered structures is presented. The formulation is easily utilized in the framework of existing structural analysis programs to compute internal forces and the global and local deformations of multi-layered structural memb ...
A comparative study was conducted to highlight key differences in the required amounts of prestressing and passive reinforcement for externally and internally prestressed box-girder bridges. The reinforcement is designed on the basis of combined serviceabi ...
For buildings which are stabilized by core or shear walls, the vertical members are generally subjected to compressive normal forces N and certain imposed angles of rotation θ. Similar in this respect are non slender bridge piers. These rotations originate ...
Due to their aesthetic and structural advantages, tubular space truss structures are enjoying increasing popularity in modern bridge construction. The use of cast steel nodes for the joints between the circular hollow section members is also becoming incre ...
Bridge decks made from fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been increasingly used in rehabilitation and new construction of pedestrian and highway bridges. For each application, connections are inevitable due to limitations on shape size and the ...
The paper presents the findings of the monitoring of the long-term deflections of three bridges which were retrofitted with external post-tensioning. The emphasis is on the effect of the additional post-tensioning on the bridge behaviour in the years follo ...
Two simple low-cost thick-film force sensor designs are optimised, characterised and tested in this work, combining calculations of sensor element and joint stresses, joint strength characterisation and measurement of complete sensors. All sensors are base ...
