Seismic vulnerability of multi-span continuous girder bridges with steel fibre reinforced concrete columns
Published 2017-01-01
The occurrence of earthquakes during the lifetime of bridges can result in the closure or even the failure of the structure. The vulnerability of multi-span continuous girder (MSCG) bridges strongly depends on the seismic ...

Numerical modelling of concrete beams at serviceability conditions with a discrete crack approach and noniterative solution-finding algorithms
Published 2017-01-01
This paper describes the development and validation of a comprehensive numerical model enabling the simulation of reinforced concrete beams at serviceability conditions using a discrete crack approach. The highly non-linear ...

Crack propagation monitoring using an image deformation approach
Published 2017-01-01
An image deformation method is herein proposed to monitor the crack propagation in structures. The proposed approach is based on a computational algorithm that uses displacements measured by photogrammetry or image correlation ...
