Abstract:

Steel-concrete composite bridges are used as an alternative to concrete bridges because of their ability to adapt their geometry to design constraints and the possibility of reusing some of the materials in the structure. In this review, we report the research carried out on the design, behavior, optimization, construction processes, maintenance, impact assessment, and decision-making techniques of composite bridges in order to arrive at a complete design approach. In addition to a qualitative analysis, a multivariate analysis is used to identify knowledge gaps related to bridge design and to

Abstract:

Abstract Despite many advantages over the conventional construction materials, the contemporary development of FRP composites in bridge engineering is limited due to high initial cost, low stiffness (in case of glass fibers) and sudden composite failure mode. In order to reduce the given limitations, mixed (hybrid) solutions connecting the FRP composites and conventional construction materials, including concrete, have been tested in many countries for 20 years. Shaping the hybrid structures based on the attributes of particular materials, aims to increase stiffness and reduce cost without los

Abstract:

The majority of timber bridges for ordinary road traffic are often made as timber-concrete composite structures. Concrete slab is something like as umbrella for timber. The reason for problems in timber-concrete bridges is nearly always poor detailing for durability and neglected maintenance. Mainly all aspects of timber protection and maintenance should therefore be considered even during the planning phase of bridge.

Abstract:

Abstract Steel-concrete composite structures have been used in bridge engineering from decades. This is due to rational utilisation of the strength properties of the two materials. At the same time, the reinforced concrete (or prestressed) deck slab is more favourable than the orthotropic steel plate used in steel bridges (higher mass, better vibration damping, longer life). The most commonly found in practice are composite girder bridges, particularly in highway bridges of small and medium spans, but the spans may reach over 200 m. In larger spans steel truss girders are applied. Bridge compo

Abstract:

Soil–steel composite bridges (SSCB) have become increasingly popular for short-span bridges as an alternative to concrete slab bridges mainly due to their low initial cost, rapid manufacture, simplified construction, and geometrical adaptability. SSCBs have a variety of applications and can be used over waterways or roadways. While conventional bridges tend to lose their load-carrying capacity due to degradation, SSCBs gain strength because of backfill soil consolidation. However, the load carrying capacity and integrity of such structures highly depends on the condition and load-carrying capa

Abstract:

One of the newest contributions to the science of bridges are steel-concrete composite bridges with encased perforated steel strips. Their main advantages are their low height, low usage of materials and therefore lower cost of the bridge. They are mainly used as short span railway bridges (under 20m of length). Main focus of today researchers and structural engineers in this area is to improve the geometry of the steel strip – and therefore find new types with lower usage of material and higher shear strength.

Introduction. The construction of bridges using timber materials is experiencing a real boom throughout the world .The USA is considered to be a leader, where 80% of the bridges are made of timber or materials based on it. In Russia timber bridge construction has been stagnating for the last 50 years, although there is a need for these bridges. Timber structures could solve many problems with Russian roads, especially in remote areas. Timber structures are widely considered to be outdated, so they cannot meet current requirements of load capacity and durability, also they are vulnerable to atm

During the past few decades, composite beams (steel I beam and concrete slab) have had a wide range of uses, particularly in bridge construction. This is due to its relatively low economic cost compared to individual steel structures or reinforced concrete structures. This type of bridges in particular and many similar industrial structures in general are repeatedly subjected to fatigue loads, and that is frequently, as a result of the vehicles passing on these bridges or the vibrations caused by the machines in the industrial facilities.

Acceleration of bridge construction requires the development of new construction methods. In composite steel concrete bridges the cast in situ bridge deck may be replaced by a precast deck. For fast assembly the joints have to be solved adequately. UHPC joints represent an alternative which can satisfy the requirements on mechanical properties of joints, on construction and economy. The function of the joints was experimentally verified using three different experiments. The performance of beams with precast and cast in situ slab was compared.

Abstract:

In order to overcome the hydrographic network, the landforms, and the most different types of barriers, many timber bridges were constructed around the world, especially in secondary roads where the raw materials (wood) can be found in the vicinity, what reduces the construction costs.The deck can be made of reinforced concrete with the purpose of increasing the durability, strength and stiffness of these structures, and using rubber particles can not only decrease the costs and impact on the environment, but can also confer some advantages on the structure, such as a better impact absorption,

Abstract:

Structure-borne noise from railway bridges has become increasingly severe due to increased train speeds and axle loads. Constrained layer damping can suppress structural vibration and noise considerably across a wide frequency range by dissipating vibrational energy via damping layer shear deformation. This paper proposes a theoretical method of calculating the train-induced vibration and noise of a constrained layer damping-enhanced railway bridge based on the train–track–bridge coupled vibration, the modal strain energy method, and statistical energy analysis. First, the vibration responses

Abstract:

Abstract This paper is intended to show the design of two composite bridges along the Orastie- Sibiu motorway, from the basic concepts, applied without the need for a clause-by- clause checking of codes and standards, to the construction methods. The bridges are seismically isolated in the longitudinal direction, while transversally the seismic action is distributed among the piers. Calculations have been carried out through state of the art procedures, taking into account form effect of the cross section. For this reason, different FE models have been set up to study different aspects of the

Abstract:

Construction time becomes an important economical phenomenon, in last years in particular, which is comparable e.g. with consumption of materials. Construction and repair of bridges with a composite concrete slab may be accelerated by prefabrication. The joints of precast slab elements become then the weak places. Application of UHPC in joints solves this problem due to its excellent mechanical properties.

Abstract:

The proven effectiveness of highway crossing infrastructure to mitigate wildlife-vehicle collisions with large animals has made it a preferred method for increasing motorist and animal safety along road networks around the world. The crossing structures also provide safe passage for small- and medium-sized wildlife. Current methods to build these structures use concrete and steel, which often result in high costs due to the long duration of construction and the heavy machinery required to assemble the materials. Recently, engineers and architects are finding new applications of fiber-reinforce

Abstract:

Nowadays more and more often investors and constructors are building constructions by combining two of the most common materials: reinforced concrete and steel. By understanding their behavior we can squeeze a mountain of used material with better results. They make it possible to take advantage of good mechanical properties of concrete in compression and steel in tension. One of the commonest types of composite structures is deck bridges with encased filler beams. These types of construction have been employed in Slovakia and all over Europe without any major change since the beginning of the

Abstract:

The differential settlement of short subgrade between two highway structures (bridges, tunnels, culverts, etc.) is significantly greater than that of the other subgrade for the insufficient compaction of short subgrade owing to limited construction site. This paper aims to establish the control criteria to prevent bump at bridge approach for differential settlement of short subgrade with oblique prestressed concrete overlying asphalt layer (AC + OPC) composite pavement. In this work, the short subgrade and AC + OPC composite pavement were defined. Meanwhile, the driving comfort was analysed an

Abstract:

Wet joints are widely used in precast steel–concrete composite bridges to accelerate the construction of bridges, though a conventional wet joint usually has a poor ultimate shear capacity. To improve the shear capacity of the wet joint, a concave square frustum-shaped wet joint was proposed, and the failure modes and ultimate shear capacity were studied experimentally and numerically. Specimens with concave square frustum-shaped and conventional wet joints (labeled as S-SWJ and S-CWJ) were fabricated, and experiments were performed on them. The results showed that the ultimate shear capacity

Abstract:

Numerous studies of road surfaces in the areas of deformation joints of bridges and overpasses have shown that the use of polymer composite materials can significantly reduce cracks and destruction. The cyclic durability of such materials prevents rutting in the zone of deformation seams, due to their damping properties. Effective building materials based on furfural acetone monomers (FAM) are used for the manufacture of tides that experience cyclic impacts of vehicle wheels. Therefore, tests were conducted on the endurance of FAM polymer concrete under the influence of cyclic application of l
