This paper investigates the fatigue upgrading of typical cover plate joint connections in existing steel bridge girders through cover plate extension. The upgraded detail is created by removing the existing transverse end weld, then welding the extension t ...
Experience has shown that when the models and methods that have been developed for the design of new structures are âblindlyâ used for the examination of existing ones, the management of civil infrastructure lacks substantially in financial efficiency ...
Fatigue evolution during the flaw initiation phase and under high cycle fatigue conditions is described at the level of the representative volume element by the probability that this element fails in a given period of time under given stimulus. This probab ...
The examination value of the railway traffic action effect is calculated from long-term monitoring data without resorting to load models and structural analysis. Monitoring data are obtained from measurements on a short span RC slab bridge. The action effe ...
The objective of this Round Robin is to assess the software influence on the structural/local stress values as determined by means of various methods. In particular the influence of (a) FEM software solver, (b) potentially software-depending element charac ...
In this paper, a method for predicting the evolution of fatigue deterioration of structural components using continuum mechanics numerical simulation is presented. At a first stage, prediction will be limited to the evaluation of the end of the initiation ...
A novel monitoring scheme oriented towards the structural examination of reinforced concrete slabs subject to railway traffic action is presented. Monitoring is based on the measurement of the mean axial strain profile variation in the cross-section of the ...
