Development of a Field Monitoring System for the Northside Drive Bridge
… method to accurately estimate a bridge’s remaining fatigue life. Standard procedures exist to calculate the remaining fatigue life of steel bridges. However, such procedures rely on conservative estimates of the live load stress range that do not account for system-level behavior. As such, …

Fatigue behaviour of CFRP-repaired corroded RC beams
… often subjected to oscillating loads that cause fatigue, significantly reducing the life of the structure. With the use of fibre reinforced plastics (FRPs) to rehabilitate and extend the life of structures, the remaining fatigue life after the repair must be assessed. This research is focused on …

Computational Methods for Estimating Rail Life
… in its cross section. In rail research, the life of a rail is typically estimated using fracture mechanic or fatigue methods and an assumed flaw geometry. Multiple models ranging from complex elastic-plastic finite element models to simplified representations of a beam on an elastic …

Fatigue and static behaviour of post-tensioned steel-concrete composite beams
… Since bridge structures are usually exposed to fatigue cycles, understanding the fatigue behavior of strengthened composite beams is vital. Also, bridges in practice are subject to various types of damages. Thus, when strengthening an in-service bridge component, the effect of pre-fatigue …
