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

open access: yesStructural 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 ...

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Sensitivity for Beam Height Parameter of Main Girder Fulcrum Section of Extradosed Cable-Stayed Bridge

open access: yesZhongwai Gonglu
The beam height of the main girder fulcrum section is one of the important design parameters of the extradosed cable-stayed bridge. In order to study the influence of the beam height of the main girder fulcrum section on the mechanical performance of the

Numerically efficient mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete membrane elements with fixed, interlocked cracks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Compression field approaches such as the Cracked Membrane Model with fixed, interlocked cracks (CMM‐F) are efficient tools for the mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete elements, providing the mechanical model σ=fε$$ \boldsymbol{\upsigma} =f\left(\boldsymbol{\upvarepsilon} \right) $$ required for finite element analyses.

Mount mechanisms for the Saturn 5/Apollo mobile launcher at John F. Kennedy Space Center [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
A support system was designed to resist hurricane wind loads at the launch pad and to allow the supported structural frame to expand and contract freely under wide ranges of temperature.

Optimal structural design method for reinforced concrete column in buildings with high floor heights using a genetic algorithm

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, there is a growing trend toward taller, larger, and more structurally diverse buildings that require expansive interior spaces. Rapid technological advancements have surged the demand for data centers, while the expansion of e‐commerce has increased logistics volumes, driving the need for large‐scale warehouses.

Influence of Cracking on Deflections of Concrete Box Girder Bridges

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2012
The problem of cracking and long-term deflection in larger-span prestressed concrete box girder bridges exists throughout the world and has restricted the development of long-span concrete bridges to some extent.
