The paper presents a whole life cycle analysis of bridges and civil structures with due consideration of environment and economic aspects. The study is presented considering variables of constituent materials components so as to reduce the…

This paper will give a brief history of our concrete technology and concrete durability journey within TMR QLD over the last 20 years together with our present position and issues, and where we see some of our future challenges and development.…

Bridges in seismically active regions must be designed and constructed with special considera- tion of how the structure will respond/perform during an earthquake and immediately afterwards. A key element in such considerations is the expansion…

The potential benefits of using structural health monitoring systems in measuring and recording bridge data have been established in many applications around the world, but the efficiency and effectiveness of such systems depends on how they are…

Over recent years there have been a number of incidents of structural failures of sign and high mast lighting structures across Australia and New Zealand, primarily due to poor design and construction practices. In addition to the obvious…

State Highway 2 Wairoa River Bridge near Tauranga, constructed in 1966, is a 177m long post-tensioned concrete structure with mono pier columns supported on pile foundations. Adding a lightweight downstream cycleway extension in September 2020 has…

Steel trough girders are an efficient form of structure for long-span curved bridges. Analysis and design of these structures need to incorporate the proposed construction sequence to ensure that the girders have sufficient capacity not only for the…

The Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project (PBRP) involves building a new bridge to replace the existing Pattullo bridge over Fraser River in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada). The new bridge will consist of a cable stayed Main Bridge over the river,…
