Modeling of Damages in the Bridges

چکیده
The daily traffic on bridges, the moisture of the atmosphere and the tiredness of materials, cause damages even the collapse of these works, if there is not a policy of maintenance and maintenance allowing the detection of possible defects in these structures and the intervention in the convenient period. These degradations can be cracks types (longitudinal or transverse), vacuums, corrosion or due to the accumulation of calcite on the beams and the flagstone... etc. In this work we present a thermal method of non destructive testing, based on numerical modeling in three dimensions, in order to detect defects of the empty type or corrosion in a flagstone of bridge. The influence of nature and the geometrical parameters of these defects, on the response of such structure to a thermal excitation is studied. The numerical resolution of this problem was carried out using a numerical computation software based on the finite element method.

The Effect of Compressive Strength Reduction of Column Section Expose due to Freezing-Thawing Cycles on the Seismic Performance of Bridges
One of the serious damages of tremendous earthquakes is the damage to bridges as the major components in an arterial road network, as relief operation is interrupted following cutting roads. Regardless of the magnitude and severity of an earthquake, other factors are also important in the strength and seismic performance of concrete bridges. Freezing-thawing cycles are among the factors, whi...
متن کاملDAMAGE DETECTION OF BRIDGE STRUCTURES IN TIME DOMAIN VIA ENHANCED COLLIDING BODIES OPTIMIZATION
In this paper, a method is presented for damage detection of bridges using the Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO) utilizing time-domain responses. The finite element modeling of the structure is based on the equation of motion under the moving load, and the flexural stiffness of the structure is determined by the acceleration responses obtained via sensors placed in d...

Geomorphology is related to the shapes and processes of the earthchr('39')s surface, and any human activity, including planning, that changes the shape of the earth and can cause quantitative and qualitative changes in the movement and movement of materials and kinetic energy and affect the geomorphic system. The attention and involvement of geomorphologists are included. Geomorphology, as a s...
متن کاملReliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure
A reliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure due to gustiness of wind velocity is carried out using the concept of PRA (probabilistic risk analysis) procedure. For this purpose, the bending stresses at the critical nodes of the bridge deck are obtained for buffeting forces using a spectral analysis technique and a finite element approach. For the purpose of reliability...
متن کاملComparison Study on Neural Networks in Damage Detection of Steel Truss Bridge
This paper presents the application of three main Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in damage detection of steel bridges. This method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. The changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. To circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear n...

Ports are the most important economic, political and military bottlenecks. This puts shoreline structures (port) in the class of important structures and they have a crucial role in the countries’ life. Pile and deck wharf and their access bridges and offshore deck (jetties), are one of the parts which are supplier of coupling between the land and the waterfront. Correct and exact estimation of...
