An experimental investigation of retro-reinforced clay brick arches
This paper describes the laboratory testing of eight 2.95m span segmental profile clay brick arches. Seven of the arches were strengthened with longitudinal intrados (soffit) reinforcement; the eighth was left unreinforced as an experimental control ...

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation
Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders
Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...

Gastrointestinal obstruction secondary to chronic obstructive nephrolithiasis: A case report
Abstract Background Nephrolithiasis is a common urologic condition, with increasing prevalence in the United States. This can often present with flank pain and hematuria; however, sequelae such as hydroureteronephrosis, forniceal rupture, and pyelonephritis can lead to more severe complications.
