Abstract: One of the most important aspects of the construction of concrete bridges using the balanced cantilever method is the limit state of the loss of stability by overturning. This problem is especially relevant because of the ...

Abstract: A model for the fatigue analysis of prestressed concrete bridges is developed. The uncertainties in the geometrical and mechanical variables involved in the problem are included. Traffic actions, thermal effects, and ...

Abstract: The paper deals with a methodology for the use of dynamic response as an inspection and surveillance tool for concrete structures (mainly bridges). The method is based upon a finite‐element analysis for identification of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an externally prestressed high strength concrete viaduct designed and erected in Spain. This viaduct, a three-span (41 + 50 + 41 m) continuous beam, has been designed and built with a 60-MPa strength ...
