Selection of informative monitoring techniques for bridge-performance evaluations

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola

Decisions regarding the management of civil infrastructure are becoming more crucial as a large share of bridges is presently approaching what is often considered to be the end of their theoretical service duration. Evaluating existing structures using a d ...

Fatigue Damage Factor Calibration for Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge Decks

Alain Nussbaumer, Cláudio Alexandre Pereira Baptista

Part 2 of the Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-2) proposes a straight forward fatigue verification method using a single heavy vehicle model (FLM3) and a damage equivalent factor, lambda, to represent the fatigue damaging effects of the real traffic on road bridges. Th ...

Christian Menn's recent bridge designs - Reducing structural elements to the simplest solution

Eugen Brühwiler

The conceptual designs by Christian Menn of four landmark bridges are presented: 1) a 350-m span cable-stayed bridge with jointless deck girder, 2) a cable-stayed bridge with a single “spindle-shaped” pylon, 3) a bridge with an arch reaching high above the ...

Time domain simulation of soil-foundation-structure interaction in non-uniform soils

Matthias Preisig

Presented here is a numerical investigation of the influence of non-uniform soil conditions on a prototype concrete bridge with three bents (four span) where soil beneath bridge bents are varied between stiff sands and soft clay. A series of high-fidelity ...

Punching shear strength of R/C bridge cantilever slabs

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Rui Vaz Rodrigues

This paper presents the results of six tests on R/C bridge cantilever slabs without shear reinforcement subjected to concentrated loading. The specimens represent actual deck slabs of box-girder bridges scaled 3/4. They were 10mlong with a clear cantilever ...

Large Scale Tests on Bridge Slabs Cantilevers Subjected to Traffic Loads

Aurelio Muttoni, Olivier Burdet, Rui Vaz Rodrigues

To improve the reduced available experimental data on the load capacity of full scale bridge deck slabs, 3 tests on a large scale bridge cantilever (10 x 4.2 m) were done. The cantilevers were tested under 4, 2 and 1 concentrated loads simulating traffic w ...
