Investigation of fatigue damage in a RC deck slab due to moving loads through long-term monitoring of a road viaduct

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

The behavior of reinforced-concrete structural elements under moving loads involves many complex parameters related to material properties, vehicle loading, environmental changes and structural response. It is difficult to generate the real conditions of l ...

Strengthening of metallic members under mixed mode fatigue loading using prestressed CFRP plates

Ardalan Hosseini

The strengthening of existing steel structures against high-cycle fatigue (HCF) loading has become one of the most important topics of interest in structural rehabilitation. Apart from the conventional strengthening techniques that incorporate bulky and he ...

"Pocket-monitoring" for fatigue safety verification of a RC bridge deck slab

Eugen Brühwiler, Imane Bayane

The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete (RC) deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct is questioned based on the results of code-based "re-calculation". Since strengthening intervention would lead to major costs, detailed investigati ...

“Pocket-Monitoring” for the fatigue safety verification of bridge members in steel and reinforced concrete

Eugen Brühwiler

The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct as well as the riveted steel girders of a 130 year old railway bridge was questioned based on the results of conventional assessment consisting in "re-c ...

Experience in the Long-Term Monitoring of Bridges

Olivier Burdet

At the end of the 1980’s, a series of existing bridges in Switzerland were equipped with a network of hydrostatic leveling devices, with the aim of following their longterm behavior. Some of the bridges were known to exhibit a steady increase in their defo ...
