Extending The Fatigue Life Of Riveted Bridges Using Data From Long Term Monitoring

A methodology inherent to existing structures is presented for the fatigue safety verification of riveted bridges. The suggested approach allows for the determination of updated action effects explicitly considering data from long term monitoring. Data fro ...

Effect on Bridge Load Effects of Vehicle Transverse In-Lane Position: A Case Study

Eugen Brühwiler, Mark Anthony Treacy

This paper presents an investigation of the influence of vehicle transverse in-lane position on bridge traffic load effects. To analyze the influence, both finite-element analysis and statistical analysis methods are used, and various technical aspects are ...

Fatigue behaviour prediction of steel reinforcement bars using an adapted Navarro and De Los Rios model

Eugen Brühwiler, Alain Nussbaumer, Marina Rocha Pinto Portela Nunes

Fatigue cracks tend to initiate on the rebar surface and therefore, the surface conditions may control their fatigue behaviour. This study investigates the influence of surface microstructure and roughness dispersion on the scatter and fatigue life of hot ...

Safety examination of existing concrete structures using the global resistance safety factor concept

Eugen Brühwiler

Current design procedures for structural concrete elements are based on member level (or local) safety checks, in the sense that the safety condition is evaluated at each cross-section individually. In the examination of existing structures, the exploitati ...

Monitoring of traffic action local effects in highway bridge deck slabs and the influence of measurement duration on extreme value estimates

Eugen Brühwiler, Mark Anthony Treacy

In recent years, monitoring has offered a viable complement or even alternative to traditional analytical safety verification approaches. However, there still remains a lack of guidance for the use of monitored data in safety verification work. Limited res ...

Modelling of fatigue behaviour of bridge deck slab elements strengthened with reinforced UHPFRC

Eugen Brühwiler, Tohru Makita

With the occurrence of higher and more frequent axle loads on roads, in particular bridge deck slabs are more severely solicitated by fatigue loading. To avoid heavy interventions for strengthening of deck slabs, an improved building material is used, name ...

Ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete for strengthening and protecting bridge deck slabs

Eugen Brühwiler, Maléna Bastien Masse

An original concept is presented for the durable rehabilitation of concrete bridge deck slabs. The main idea is to add a layer of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with or without steel reinforcing bars over the concrete slab to cre ...

Are current bridge load modelling techniques realistic for existing road bridges?

Eugen Brühwiler, Mark Anthony Treacy

Road traffic loading is a highly variable process with a wide range of complex variables to consider. Consequently, various simplifying assumptions are required to efficiently model heavy traffic events for bridge safety verification, which reduce the accu ...

Analytical Model for Predicting Response and Flexure- Shear Resistance of Composite Beams Combining Reinforced Ultrahigh Performance Fiber- Reinforced Concrete and Reinforced Concrete

Eugen Brühwiler, Talayeh Noshiravani

The addition of an external layer of reinforced ultrahigh performance fiber-reinforced concrete (R-UHPFRC) on top of reinforced concrete (RC) floor slabs and bridge decks is an emerging technique for strengthening RC structures. As an additional reinforcem ...

Full-waveform GPR inversion to assess chloride gradients in concrete

Eugen Brühwiler, Alexis Kalogeropoulos

The spreading of deicing salt on roads during winter and the consequent migration of chloride ions within concrete exposes structures reinforcement to corrosion. Reinforcement corrosion is problematic because it reduces the structure's load carrying capaci ...
