Abstract:
Two novel demountable shear connectors for precast steel-concrete composite bridges are presented. The connectors use high-strength steel bolts, which are fastened to the steel beam with the aid of a special locking configuration that prevents slip of bolts within their holes. Moreover, the connectors promote accelerated construction and overcome typical construction tolerances issues of precast structures. Most importantly, the connectors allow bridge disassembly, and therefore, can address different bridge deterioration scenarios with minimum disturbance to traffic flow, i.e. (1) precast dec

Abstract:
The continuous permanent metal deck form system provides a quick and efficient method of constructing short-span, simply supported composite steel girder bridges. However, because shear studs can only be welded to the girder through the steel deck at rib locations, the number of shear stud locations is limited to the number of ribs in the shear span while the spacing of the shear studs is restricted to the rib spacing of the steel deck. This results in a condition where various provisions of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (2007) cannot be satisfied, including shear stud fatigue s

Hence, UDCSBs lead to a more sustainable construction compared to bridges without cable-staying systems. However, UDCSBs with steel-concrete decks, which seem prima facie to be an appropriate solution, have not been investigated hitherto in depth.

Abstract:
The use of high strength steel has the potential to reduce the amount of steel used in bridge structures and thereby facilitate a more sustainable construction. The amount of steel and what steel grade that can be used in bridge structures and other cyclic loaded structures are often limited by a material degradation process called fatigue. The fatigue resistance of steel bridges are to a large extent depending on the design of structural details and connections.

The traffic network may accordingly be hurt or even ruptured and gives trouble to people live in the area isolated by broken bridges. In order to provide the effective emergence rescue, a kind of easy-erection temporary bridge for traffic is required to shorten time of social restoring after disaster. The fiber reinforcing plastic (FRP) has advantages of high strength, lightweight and good durability for reuse, etc., a

Abstract:
Tese de Doutoramento em Engenharia Civil - Ramo do Conhecimento Estruturas<br>The behaviour of composite structures accounts for the contribution of concrete and steel sections, provided that a composite action exists between these two materials. Composite action can be obtained by reducing or preventing the relative displacement of concrete and steel elements at their interface. Shear connectors are used to provide this composite action. The behaviour of the steel to concrete connection will have major importance on the global behaviour of the structural element. Lightweight concrete is now
