Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Zarate Garnica, G.I. (author), Zhang, F. (author), Park, Min-Kook (author), Yang, Y. (author), Sliedrecht, Henk (author)For the assessment of existing slab-between-girder bridges, the shear capacity and failure mode are under discussion. Previous research showed that the static and fatigue punching capacity of the slabs is sufficient as a result of compressive membrane action. The girders then become the critical elements. This research studies the shear capacity...journal article 2021

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), De Boer, Ane (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)Proof load testing of existing reinforced concrete bridges is becoming increasingly important as the current bridge stock is aging. In a proof load test, a load that corresponds to the factored live load is applied to a bridge structure, to directly demonstrate that a bridge fulfills the code requirements. To optimize the procedures used in...journal article 2019
