This study aimed to experimentally analyse the robustness of riveted steel bridges based on
truss-type structures and to define practical recommendations for early detection of local …

The attack of environmental aggressive agents progressively reduces the structural
reliability of buildings and infrastructures and, in the worst exposition conditions, may even …

Aim of this paper is to apply to a steel truss bridge a methodology that takes into account the
consequences of extreme loads on structures, focusing on the influence that the loss of …

This study aimed to experimentally and computationally analyse the robustness of riveted
steel bridges based on truss-type structures and to define practical recommendations for …

The behaviour of structural systems can change during their service lives due to unexpected
loadings, environmental effects and deterioration processes. In order to optimise …
