Selection of informative monitoring techniques for bridge-performance evaluations

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola

Decisions regarding the management of civil infrastructure are becoming more crucial as a large share of bridges is presently approaching what is often considered to be the end of their theoretical service duration. Evaluating existing structures using a d ...

Mesures de l’évolution des propriétés du CFUP en combinant les émissions acoustiques (passifs) et des ultrasons (actifs)

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Thomas Schumacher

Le composite cimentaire fibré ultra performant (CFUP) est devenu populaire en Suisse pour la conception de structures légères et durables. Les éléments structuraux en CFUP armé sont étanches et ont une grande durabilité. En raison de sa composition unique, ...

Design and Construction of the "Chaumény" Footbridge in Posttensioned UHPFRC

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola

In 2020/21, the “Chaumény” footbridge was built in posttensioned UHPFRC over a railway line in the city of Montreux, Switzerland. UHPFRC stands for Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious composite. UHPFRC shows high resistance both in tension ...

Experimental investigation of a keying joint cast in UHPFRC between precast UHPFRC bridge elements

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, Enrique García

Ultra High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) is increasingly popular for new structural designs thanks to its high resistance both in tension and compression. When UHPFRC is complemented with steel reinforcing bars or prestressin ...

Cost-benefit evaluation of a monitoring system for structural identification of existing bridges

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Imane Bayane

The monitoring of existing infrastructure has the potential to improve structural-condition assessment, leading to better asset management. Monitoring data, collected through load testing, help identify unknown model-parameter values, and this model-updati ...

Engineering of Existing Structures: The Need and Place for Non-destructive Evaluation

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Thomas Schumacher

Structural engineers today are still educated mainly to design new structures. This ignores the fact that structures already exist and need to be maintained. Students are thus often ill-equipped to deal with maintenance and preservation of existing structu ...

Short Span UHPFRC Railway Bridge in Switzerland - From Design to Implementation

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, Enrique García

This paper presents the design and construction of the Aiguillon railway bridge in Switzerland, one of the first railway bridges completely made of Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC). The length and width of the trough ...

Assessing bridge conditions using visual inspection following a risk-based methodology

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola

Visual inspection of existing bridges is the main source of information to prioritize mainte- nance. This qualitative examination is thus a critical part of civil infrastructure management. In Switzerland, main inspections are typically made every five yea ...

A methodology to design measurement systems when multiple model classes are plausible

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

The management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Civil infrastructure often has hidden reserve capacity because of conservative approaches used in design and during constructi ...
