To enhance the durability of side-by-side box girder bridges, a common source maintenance issues can be eliminated using jointless bridge concept. Accurate estimation average effective temperature range is key issue. A deck-extension containing girders was chosen as case study. The distribution on cross section and longitudinal thermal movement superstructure were monitored. Finite-element models developed, which indicated close agreement with measured responses. sections could accurately...
This paper presents a procedure for rehabilitating plastic hinges with damaged/fractured weldable longitudinal rebars in severely damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns and possible improvements regarding connection protection hinge development. Damaged/fractured are replaced new rebar segments, the basis of this approach involves connecting intermediate machined parts to original by welding an off-the-shelf steel equal angle. The proposed rehabilitation design is based on capacity...
A new strategy that repairs severely damaged reinforced concrete (RC) columns after an earthquake is proposed as a simpler and quicker solution with respect to the strategies currently available in literature. The external parts are removed from column surface along whole plastic hinge region uncover steel reinforcement. transverse cut away, each longitudinal rebar locally substituted by segments connected welding connections original undamaged pieces outside intervention zone. have reduced...
Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures have been widely used in high-rise buildings and long-span bridges for the high strength ductility due to confinement effect of concrete core provided by tube. This beneficial composite action could be damaged circumferential debonding gap (CDG), which is nearly unavoidable real CFST structures. Reliable formulations predict influence CDG on mechanical performance compressed circular columns are needed. In this paper, experimental parameters...
Photonic neural networks (PNNs), due to its advantages of low latency, power consumption, and high parallelism, hold promise in addressing the current bottlenecks faced by electronic computing hardware. However, constrained errors associated with analog computations, computational precision PNN architectures cannot rival that computing. Traditional methods for improving often necessitate assistance peripheral control circuits algorithms, which can undermine low-power consumption advantage...
Solar radiation is one of the most important factors influencing temperature distribution on bridge girder cross-sections. The can be estimated using estimation models that incorporate solar data; however, such data could cost- or time-prohibitive to obtain. A review literature was carried out for parameters, including global radiation, beam and diffuse radiation. from eight cities in Fujian Province southeastern China were obtained site. applicable Fujian, proposed verified measured data....
<p>In this paper a rapid repair and retrofitting technique for reinforced concrete (rc) Chinese bridges damaged by strong earthquake, is proposed tested. This intervention an upgrade of the one tested with very good results during previous experimental research on designed according to old Italian code without proper seismic details. The improvement operation consists in use dissipation systems substitute rebar parts at pier base guaranteeing correct plastic distribution hinge only....
During the last years, timber-concrete composite (TCC) structures have been extensively used in Europe both new and existing buildings. Generally speaking, a structure combines advantages of materials employed: strength stiffness concrete compression tensile strength, lightweight, low embodied energy, aesthetical appearance timber. The slab provides protection timber beams from direct contact with water, which is crucial to ensure durability beams, particularly when for bridges. Different...
A jointless bridge could fundamentally eliminate vulnerable deck joints, thereby meeting the need for sustainable development of bridges, especially an expressway with high-speed traffic. In this paper, one (deck-extension bridge) a small box girder in was chosen as case study to examine structural design, construction and field test. The tests indicated that designed constructed structures can satisfy requirement service performance deck-extension bridge. Some key technologies, such...
The seismic behavior of Chinese RC (Reinforced Concrete) bridge piers with insufficient details, severely damaged after an earthquake and then repaired retrofitted by rapid interventions is investigated.The proposed are applied on the steel rebar concrete parts in plastic hinge zone to guarantee proper dissipation energy necessary shear strength ductility improvements.New longitudinal shaped rebars jackets used substitute pier parts.Two repair retrofitting procedures presented 1:6 scaled...
