1. Revised formula for predicting the long-term deflection multiplier of normal and high strength concrete
Abstract High strength concrete (HSC) has found many applications in civil engineering structures such as in high-rise buildings, and bridges. The mechanical properties of HSC are sometimes different than of normal strength concrete (NSC). In particular, HSC possess lower creep strains compared to NSC. As a result, members constructed using HSC have been fou

2. Seismic evaluation and partial retrofitting of concrete bridge bents with defect details
Abstract The need for seismic retrofitting of bridges after severe earthquakes has become important in recent years. This study examines the seismic evaluation of concrete bents of highway bridges designed and implemented according to the 1990s regulations. Compared with the older codes, 1990s codes have more complex details for connections which are evaluat

3. Corrodibility and Adherence of Reinforced Concrete Rebars Electroplated with Zinc and Zinc-Nickel Alloys
Reinforced concrete is the main structural material used in the world in the construction of bridges, roads and commercial and residential buildings. One effective method for preventing corrosion of steel reinforcement is the application of galvanic coatings to the reinforcement itself. The present study evaluated the performance of three groups of reinforci

4. Experimental analysis on the combined effects of corrosion and fatigue in reinforced concrete beams
Resumo Elementos de infraestrutura, especialmente as pontes e viadutos de concreto armado, estão expostos a uma combinação de processos de degradação enquanto em serviço, como a corrosão de armaduras e fadiga. Os efeitos combinados de ambos os processos são conhecidos por serem mais prejudicais para a estrutura quando comparados à soma de ambos os p

5. Seismic Evaluation of Horizontally Curved Bridges Subjected to Near-Field Ground Motions
Abstract Horizontally curved bridges have more complex seismic behavior than straight bridges and have been more vulnerable to earthquakes. The present study aimed to evaluate the seismic response of concrete bridges with straight and arched box girder decks in isolated and non-isolated states. The results indicated that increasing the curvature of the non-i

6. Analysis of strengthening procedures of reinforced concrete highway bridges: a brazilian case study
Resumo O sistema rodoviário federal brasileiro é constituído em grande parte por pontes construídas antes de 1984. Assim, essas pontes possuem geometria e capacidade de carga incompatíveis com o tráfego atual. Nesse cenário, o objetivo deste estudo foi a avaliação dos procedimentos de alargamento e reforço empregados em uma ponte de concreto armado

7. Analysis of the brazilian federal bridge inventory
Resumo A gestão de pontes promove suporte na tomada de decisões gerenciais, otimizando as intervenções necessárias sob limitações orçamentárias. Nessa perspectiva, o Departamento Federal de Transportes (DNIT) desenvolveu o Sistema Brasileiro de Gerenciamento de Pontes (SGO) e promoveu o mais abrangente inventário de pontes rodoviárias sob sua admi

8. Optimization of reinforced concrete polygonal sections under biaxial bending with axial force
Abstract Concrete is the world’s most utilized material for production of the structural elements employed in civil construction. Due to its low tensile strength and brittle nature it is reinforced with steel bars forming the reinforced concrete (RC structure). Linear elements of reinforced concrete are commonly employed in multi-story buildings, bridges,

9. Effectiveness of Tuned Mass Dampers in Seismic Response Control of Isolated Bridges Including Soil-Structure Interaction
Abstract The effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the dynamic responses of seismically isolated three-span continuous reinforced concrete (RC) bridge is investigated. Also, tuned mass damper(s) (TMD/s) is/are installed to control undesirable bearing displacement, even under the SSI effect. The TMDs are placed at the mid-span of the bridge and each t

10. Effect of an Opening on Reinforced Concrete Hollow Beam Web Under Torsional, Flexural, and Cyclic Loadings
Abstract Hollow sections have been increasingly applied in the construction of buildings, bridges, offshore structures, and towers for passing electrical and mechanical pipes or other utilities. Torsion caused by external force is a weakness of hollow sections that is rarely investigated. In particular, the behavior of hollow sections with high-strength conc

11. Fatigue analysis and life prediction of composite highway bridge decks under traffic loading
Steel and composite (steel-concrete) highway bridges are currently subjected to dynamic actions of variable magnitude due to convoy of vehicles crossing on the deck pavement. These dynamic actions can generate the nucleation of fractures or even their propagation on the bridge deck structure. Proper consideration of all of the aspects mentioned pointed our t

12. Transverse load distribution of skew cast-in-place concrete multicell box - girder bridges subjected to traffic condition
Concrete multicell box-girder bridges are a common choice among the designers for various ranges of bridges. In order to provide safer and greater speed of traffic, the roadway is built as straight as possible. The use of skewed bridges has increased considerably in the recent years for roadway. The skewed bridges have quite different mechanical behavior fro
