Adding value to bridges by monitoring and UHPFRC technology

Eugen Brühwiler

Novel structural engineering methods and technologies are urgently needed to improve the performance of existing structures, such as bridges. Limited funding and ever increasing user demands challenge current technologies which are often invasive and not c ...

Acoustic emission and ultrasonic testing for fatigue damage detection in a RC bridge deck slab

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

There is a significant need to examine precisely the conditions of concrete road bridges because of the increasing traffic and axle loads and the fact that most existing bridges were not designed with respect to fatigue. In-situ investigations are challeng ...

UHPFRC technology to enhance the performance of existing concrete bridges

Eugen Brühwiler

‘Structural UHPFRC’ stands for Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite material, that is, complemented by reinforcing steel bars forming a R-UHPFRC layer with the goal to enhance the resistance and durability of structural elements i ...

Quantification of the conditional value of SHM data for the fatigue safety evaluation of a road viaduct

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

Fatigue safety verification of existing bridges that uses ‘‘re-calculation’’ based on codes, usually results in insufficient fatigue safety, triggering invasive interventions. Instead of “re-calculation”, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) should be used f ...

Fatigue safety verification of a steel railway bridge using short term monitoring data

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

The case study of the fatigue safety examination of the 120 years old steel riveted bridge carrying a single railway track on two main girders is presented. The overall assessment according to the Swiss Standard SIA 269 for existing structures indicated su ...
