Steel versus Steel-reinforced Concrete Bridges: Environmental Assessment
Bridge material selection has traditionally been b~ed on e.ngineering and economi~ criteria. With the increasing interest of the public, industry, and government m sustainable:: development, en~lronmental. assessment in construction is becoming more important. However, we need metrtcs and data on deSign alternatives for effective decision making. In this paper, we present results of a life cycl...
متن کاملDamage Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Considering Irregularities (RESEARCH NOTE)
Structural damage can be controlled in performance based seismic design (PBSD) according to the requirement under a certain hazard level. During strong ground motion (GM) such buildings suffer minor to major damages depending on the shaking level of GM. The available damage assessment methods are complex, tedious and time-consuming procedure. In the present study, a simplified empirical model h...
متن کاملReinforced Concrete Columns in Torsion (RESEARCH NOTE).
ACT does not suggest any regulations for columns under torsion. However, by all means, the number of such columns used in steel and concrete structures is abundant. In this paper, using the results of laboratory tests on 35 square and rectangular columns with intermediate slender ratios, relations for determination of torsional strengths of reinforced concrete under axial compression have been ...
متن کاملImproved GPR-based Condition Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Decks Using Artificial Neural Network
Accounting for the effect of rebar depth variation is one of the most important and challenging tasks to accurately assess the condition of reinforced concrete elements using ground penetrating radar (GPR) technique. In current practices, this task is performed on the individual basis, as for each bridge deck a unique depth correction model is derived from the GPR data collected on it. It is fo...
متن کاملCorrosion Assessment of Steel Bars Used in Reinforced Concrete Structures by Means of Eddy Current Testing
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on the use of Eddy Current Testing (ECT) to evaluate corrosion processes in steel bars used in reinforced concrete structures. The paper presents the mathematical basis of the ECT sensor built by the authors; followed by a finite element analysis. The results obtained in the simulations are compared with those obtained in experimental tes...
