Study on shear connection of bridge steel truss and concrete slab deck
Longitudinal shear flow in the connection of a bridge steel truss upper chord and a concrete bridge slab is studied both in elastic and plastic stages of loading up to the shear connection collapse.

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‐

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures
Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

Time-dependent advanced analysis method for steel truss bridges under atmospheric corrosion
Atmospheric corrosion is one of the major factors leading to the deterioration of steel truss bridges. In order to overcome this problem, protective coatings are generally applied to steel members.

Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Analysis of the Behaviour of Steel-Concrete Composite Truss
The design specifications of composite truss, included in the American standard (ASCE), are not covered in the European standards (Eurocodes). In this study, to investigate the behaviour of the composite trusses, a finite element model (FEM) is developed
