Chloride ingress and carbonation cause corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures affecting its operational life. Experimental evidence indicates that these deterioration processes are highly influenced by CO2 emissions and climatic conditions in the surrounding environment –i.e. temperature, humidity, etc. Since studies on global warming announce changes in climate, the impact of changin...

<p>At least 20% of existing railway bridges in Sweden are reinforced concrete (RC) trough bridge that consist a slab carried by two longitudinal main beams. As these getting old, there is an urging need to assess their remaining capacity with the aim prolonging service lives. The limited literature on topic has pointed out significant difference between predicted available codes and obtai...

This study proposes a stress analysis method of reinforced concrete (RC) box girder based on damage to reveal the dynamic mechanical response and mechanisms bridge under moving vehicle load. The effect different mass, speed, strength, longitudinal reinforcement ratio single is investigated using solid finite element vehicle–bridge interaction elastic–plastic (a total 13 kinds loading schemes) t...
