Chen, Zhipei (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)In practice, reinforced concrete structures may encounter different kinds of curing conditions<br/>due to the weather (sun radiation, air moisture and wind), nearby external environment<br/>(seawater, attack of stray current arising from nearby railways), or human factors (insufficient<br/>curing period). In some extreme conditions, the...abstract 2015

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...conference paper 2013

Cordioli, C. (author), Bauters, E. (author), Muselle, T. (author), Hubin, A. (author)Commonly coatings are used to protect metals from corrosion. Different types of coatings are available and according to their characteristics they provide different levels of protection. In order to evaluate the performance of the coating, it is fundamental to have a methodology that is reliable and efficient even when applied to different kinds...conference paper 2013

(author)Reliable and durable asphalt surfacing systems still remain to be desired for the long-spanned orthotropic steel bridges as the nationally and internationally reports on distresses in deck pavement. Based on ten-year research works, this paper has presented a brief review and discussion of the Chinese practices and experiences of deck pavement...conference paper 2012

Miyata, Y. (author), Bathurst, R.J. (author), Otani, Y. (author)This study examines the load and resistance factor design calibration for the ultimate pullout limit state for steel strip reinforced soil walls (SSWs). The tensile loads and pullout capacities of reinforcement strips that were measured during full-scale tests are compared with predicted (nominal) values using analytical models recommended by...conference paper 2015

Tzimiris, G. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Li, J. (author), Hofman, R. (author), Voskuilen, J. (author)Due to lightweight and flexibility, orthotropic steel deck bridges become popular the last decades but several problems were reported in relation to asphalt surfacing materials such as rutting, cracking, loss of bond between the surfacing system and steel deck. In the Netherlands a surfacing structure for orthotropic steel bridge decks mostly...conference paper 2013

Suiker, A.S.J. (author), Turteltaub, S.R. (author)A recently developed thermo-mechanical model [1] is presented that can be used to simulate the interactions between martensitic phase transformations and crystalline damage growth at the austenitic grain level. Subgrain information is included in the model via the crystallographic theory of martensitic transformations, see also [2,3]. The state...conference paper 2006

Drewniok, Michał P. (author), Dunant, Cyrille F. (author), Allwood, Julian M. (author), Cullen, Jonathan M. (author)With growing pressure on the construction industry to be more resource efficient, to reduce waste and to lower embodied carbon, material reuse strategies are critical to meet targets, especially for steel. Indeed, steel recycling is an energy and carbon intensive process, offering only approximately 50% energy savings [1] and 75% [2, 3] over new...conference paper 2017

Li, J. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author)Light weight orthotropic steel bridge decks have been widely utilized for bridges in seismic zones, movable bridges and long span bridges. In the last three decades, severe problems were reported in relation to asphaltic surfacing materials on orthotropic steel deck bridges. Earlier investigations have shown that the bonding strength of membrane...conference paper 2013

Liu, Q. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author), Van Bochove, G. (author)Porous asphalt shows excellent performance in both noise reduction and water drainage. Although porous asphalt has these great qualities, its service life is much shorter (sometimes only half) compared to dense graded asphalt roads. Ravelling, which is the loss of aggregate particles from the surface layer, is the main damage mechanism of porous...conference paper 2013

Veerman, R.P. (author), van Breugel, K. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)Chloride-induced corrosion is a point of big concern in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. To monitor the actual health and to predict the remaining service-life of structures, it is important to understand the structural behaviour and the failure mechanism of structures exposed to chlorides under fatigue loading conditions.
