On the effects of modified lane configuration due to construction works on bridge loading
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 Construction works are frequently recurring events within highway networks, temporarily altering the characteristics of the traffic flow and hence of the bridge loading process. Consequently, highway bridge superstructures usually carrying unidirectional

Analysis of Deflections of Bridge Girders Strengthened by Carbon Fibre Reinforcement
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2008 The paper deals with experimental and theoretical investigations in reinforced concrete structures strengthened with carbon fibre sheets. Four stages in the behaviour of concrete structures strengthened with the carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) are

Dynamic response of a damaging masonry wall [PDF]
, 2017 A nonlocal damage-plastic model is adopted to describe the nonlinear structural response of masonry structures. The model, based on a macromechanical approach, accounts for strength and stiffness degradation with hysteretic dissipation typically ...

Influence of plastic tension chord deformation on the shear capacity of prestressed beam elements
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 The shear strength of prestressed beam elements is of great interest with regard to the evaluation of existing concrete bridges. Accompanying extensive experimental test series, the adaptation and modification of existing models for the evaluation of the
