Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
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 ...

Monitoring of temperature gradient development of highway concrete bridge

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Thermal effect is one of very important from the large bridge design procedure point of view. Especially vertical temperature gradient is being crucial. There were realized some research works of the thermal effects monitoring on the concrete bridges in ...

The effect of projected air temperatures on concrete box girders thermal gradients and effective temperatures in Canada

Results in Engineering, 2023
This study examines the impact of environmental thermal loads on the temperature behavior of bridges, focusing specifically on concrete box girders. Currently, the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC) employs a single thermal gradient model for ...

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
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 ...

Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

3D FE modelling of composite box Girder Bridge [PDF]

, 2013
The complexity nature of composite box girder bridges makes it difficult to accurately predict their structural response under loading. However, that difficulty in the analysis and design of composite box girder bridges can be handled by the use of the

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.
