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 ...

“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 ...
