Bridge construction is one of the cores of traffic infrastructure construction. To better develop
relevant bridge science, this paper introduces the main research progress in China and …

Most of the Italian infrastructures have been built since the mid‐twentieth century.
Prestressed concrete (PC) has been widely used, especially for bridges and viaducts. These …

One of the barriers to implementation of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) into structural
applications is the lack of understanding of the shear behaviour of SFRC members. This …

In the Netherlands, many prestressed concrete bridge girders are found to have insufficient
shear–tension capacity. We tested four girders taken from a demolished bridge and …

Due to the rapid increase in traffic volumes, existing infrastructure demands proper
assessment and in some cases rehabilitation is needed. Prestressed concrete (PC) I …

Load testing and in some cases failure (or collapse) testing of bridges is a method to learn
more about the behaviour of full-scale bridges in site conditions. Since such experiments …

Most of the existing engineering structures were built in the last century and have been in
service for decades. However, environmental degradation may lead to a reduction in …

Shear failure of reinforced concrete falls into the category of brittle and undesirable failure
modes and has caused catastrophic incidents in structures and infrastructures throughout …

The performance of existing prestressed concrete (PC) beams and their time-dependent
behavior have been concerns for bridge maintenance services. In this paper, laboratory …

For the assessment of existing slab-between-girder bridges, the shear capacity and failure
mode are under discussion. In particular, preliminary assessment calculations showed that …
