Durability of Gerber Saddles in RC Bridges: Analyses and Applications (Musmeci Bridge, Italy)

Probabilistic Evaluation of Seismic Performance of RC Bridges in Iran

 Many existing bridges were designed without adequate consideration of seismic risk. The full or partial collapse of even one major bridge in a city or community would have destroying results. There has been focuses on developing fragility-based seismic vulnerability of existing usual bridges in Iran or support decision making on seismic upgrade. This article focuses on developing performance b...

Stress-Strain Field and Theoretical Analysis of RC Bridge

In this paper, a reinforced concrete(RC) bridge built in an interchange, in the city of Kerman (a city located in south of Iran) is examined by the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. During the construction of this bridge such as; the main beams, slab, and retaining walls, some Electrical Strain Gauges were mounted on the main reinforcements at different locations within the body of thi...

Seismic Vulnerability assessment of concrete railway bridge using nonlinear analyses

Bridges, as an essential part of transportation system, play a special role in economy, politic and military all around the world. Serviceability of bridges is of high importance especially in emergencies, helping injured people and proportioning transportation after earthquakes. Earthquake regulation codes, normally suggest linear methods to conduct the analysis, and nonlinear analysis is bare...

New Analyses of Distributed Rc Interconnections

This paper gives new methods for calculating the time-domain response for a nite-length distributed RC line. We begin with the solution for di usion in a semi-in nite distributed RC line [4, 12] and apply the method of images (re ections) to obtain the voltage response for a nite-length RC line. Second, we describe a general approach for calculating the time-domain response for nite RC lines wi...
