Self-compacting steel fibre reinforced concrete: material characterization and real scale test up to failure of a pile supported flat slab
(Springer, 2022)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policySteel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is increasingly being used in the construction industry providing structural, technological and economic benefits. However, this relatively new material has not demonstrated its full ... -
A new sustainability assessment method for façade cladding panels: a case study of fiber/textile reinforced cement sheets
(Springer, 2022)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyAs the building sector is one of the leading responsible for energy consumption and CO2 emissions, criteria of sustainability, availability, and recyclability should be considered for developing materials even in the ... -
Elevated steel fibre reinforced concrete slabs and the hybrid alternative: design approach and parametric study at ultimate limit state
(Springer, 2022)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyApplication of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) in pile supported flat slabs is definitely challenge in term of a structural application of this material. Possible substitution of traditional reinforcement by steel fibres ... -
Bridge damage detection and quantification under environmental effects by principal component analysis
(Springer, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessMonitoring structural damage is widely used for sustaining and preserving the service life in civil structures, especially in bridges. The influence of environmental variability like temperature affects the dynamic behavior, ... -
Performance of blended cements with limestone filler and illitic calcined clay immediately exposed to sulfate environment
(International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM), 2020)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe use of ternary blended cements with limestone filler and calcined clays can improve the durability of concrete structures exposed to aggressive environments and extend their service life. In sulfate-rich environments, ... -
Simplified probabilistic model for maximum traffic load from weigh-in-motion data
(Routledge/Taylor and Francis Group, 2018)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper reviews the simplified procedure proposed by Ghosn and Sivakumar to model the maximum expected traffic load effect on highway bridges and illustrates the methodology using a set of Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) data ... -
Quality specifications for roadway bridges: standardization at a European level
(CRC Press, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyAcross Europe, the need to manage roadway bridges efficiently led to the development of multiple management systems in different countries. Despite presenting similar architectural frameworks, there are relevant differences ... -
Fiber optics for load testing
(CRC Press, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis chapter presents the application of fiber optic sensor technology in the monitoring of a load test. First, the description of the fiber optic technology is described with main emphasis in the case of distributed optical ... -
Diagnostic load testing of bridges: background and examples of application
(CRC Press, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis chapter presents principles and justification of diagnostic load tests of bridges as normally performed. Normally, diagnostic tests serve to verify and adjust the predictions of an analytical model. However, as presented ... -
A state of the art review of modal-based damage detection in bridges: development, challenges, and solutions
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis issue is a snapshot of the newest research in SHM for civil structures, and it includes a range of topics such as data processing algorithms to detect damage, modeling, and simulation [1–15]; sensor development and ... -
Diagnostic load testing of concrete bridges, principles and example
(American Concrete Insitute, 2018)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyLoad testing of concrete bridges is a practice with a long history. Historically, and particularly before the unification of design and construction practices through codes, load testing was performed to show the travelling ...
