Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study investigating the mechanical behavior of corroded beams strengthened by three different strengthening schemes, and the influence of further corrosion on the structural ...

Abstract: Bridge steel, frequently employed in cross-sea bridge construction, exhibits excellent weldability, superior strength, and toughness. The service life and stability of steel structures are influenced by the presence of ...

Abstract: Chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel bars has a big impact on the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to saline environments, and it is essential to understand how chloride ions ingress ...

Abstract: This paper develops a simplified method using a summation procedure and a related computer program to calculate the time-dependent behavior of a concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge based on the geometric ...

Abstract: An experimental test is proposed to investigate the interface shear strength between carbonated concrete substrate and self-compacting concrete (SCC) overlay. Thirty-nine Z-type specimens consisting of two L-type concrete ...

Abstract: Concrete shrinkage and creep significantly affect the serviceability of bridges, especially long-span bridges. To investigate the long-term shrinkage and creep behaviors of low-shrinkage and low-creep C60 high-performance ...
