This paper presents a new pre-fabricated lightweight slab system where the relatively high post-cracking tensile capacity of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is combined with ductility and strength optimized shape profiles made by cold formed sheets for synergetic result in terms structural performance. The SFRC fills longitudinal (girders) that have openings web materializing shear mecha...

Many bridges built during the colonial times in Australia have timber girders as load transferring elements and they are still service with increased traffic loads consistent deterioration. Most of those notched at ends for better seating arrangement. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify strength characteristics order ensure structural safety make intervention extend their lives. Hence experi...
