A substantial part of the underline bridges that belong to asset collection main railway and roadway infrastructure operators in UK Europe have structural shape arches, typically constructed from brick/stone masonry. Current assessment methods, which consider two-dimensional descriptions, do not enable an accurate representation typical three-dimensional response, often they provide realistic p...

This paper has done continuous on-site experimental researches on temperature field and temperature effects that are under the influence of hydration heat of concrete during the molding process of dumb-bell CFST arch bridge. Analysis on time-history law of temperature field and temperature effects is made. Results reveal that temperature variation of hydration heat of the concrete within the st...

This paper presents the experimental and analytical modal analysis of a concrete-filled (CFT) tube half-through arch bridge, with the span length of 90m, located at the center of Xining City, Qinghai province, China. Dynamic field test was carried out just prior to the official opening of bridge in order to inspect the dynamic characteristics of the bridge and make a baseline record for the fut...
