Abstract: A theory for directly identifying shrinkage and creep in a structure, along with an embedded self-identification system, is proposed. The theory and system aim to obtain accurately the time-dependent regularity of shrinkage ...

Abstract: The long-term deflection of Long Span Prestressed Concrete Box-girder Bridge (LSPCBB) is getting more and more serious in terms of structure safety. And there are still many ambiguous reasons as to the cause of the deflection ...

Abstract: To study the fatigue prestress loss of prestressed concrete beams, four bonded post-tensioned bonded concrete simple supported beams were designed and constructed for constant-amplitude fatigue load displacement tests. ...

Abstract: To investigate the laws of creep and shrinkage in high-strength, concrete for long-span prestressed continuous box-girder bridge and predict long-term deflection, strain sensors were embedded in the midspan of a box-girder ...
