Analysis on Adhesively-Bonded Joints of FRP-steel Composite Bridge under Combined Loading: Arcan Test Study and Numerical Modeling

Jiang, X. (author), Qiang, X. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)

The research presented in this paper is an experimental study and numerical analysis on mechanical behavior of the adhesively-bonded joint between FRP sandwich bridge deck and steel girder. Generally, there are three typical stress states in the adhesively-bonded joint: shear stress, tensile stress, and combination of both. To realize these...

TIG-dressing of High Strength Butt Welded Connection. Part 2: Physical Testing and Modelling

Van Es, S.H.J. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Pijpers, R.J.M. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)

Weld improvement techniques are aimed at reducing the notch effects of welds and generally focus on two aspects: a change of geometry of the weld toe and a change of the weld residual stresses. In this paper, fatigue tests are discussed, performed on butt welded specimens in steel grades ranging from S460 to S1100 in the TIG-dressed condition....

TIG-dressing of High Strength Steel Butt Welded Connections. Part 1: Weld Toe Geometry and Local Hardness

Van Es, S.H.J. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Pijpers, R.J.M. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)

This paper presents the results of extensive measurements on weld toe geometry of as-welded and TIG-dressed butt welded connections in high strength steels S460, S690 and very high strength steels S890 and S1100. Descriptions of the measurement techniques and data analysis are presented. Four weld toe parameters have been formulated to...

Mechanical behaviour of adhesive joint under tensile and shear loading

Jiang, X. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author), Bijlaard, F.S.K. (author)

Due to various advantages of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks, the FRP to steel composite bridge system is being increasingly used in new bridge structures as well as rehabilitation projects for old bridges. This paper focuses on the mechanical behaviours and failure modes of the adhesively-bonded joins between FRP sandwich decks and steel...

Safety assessment of existing highway bridges and viaducts

Maljaars, J. (author), Steenbergen, R. (author), Abspoel, L. (author), Kolstein, M.H. (author)

The assessment of the structural safety of existing br idges and viaducts becomes increasingly important in many countries owing to an increase in traffic loads. Most existing standards, however, are developed for the design of new structures. For this reason, an assessment method for determining the actual safety level of highway bridges and...

Fatigue classification of welded joints in orthotropic steel bridge decks

Kolstein, M.H. (author)

This dissertation presents the research into fatigue classifications of welded joints in orthotropic steel bridge decks. These classifications are needed to calculate the fatigue life of these joints and should be included in the design codes. For years bridge design was mainly based on static loading. Due to the development of modern light...
