The near-surface mounted (NSM) FRP technique has received attention worldwide over the externally bonded FRP strengthening technique. Strengthening of a concrete girders using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to flexural and shear…

Collecting, processing, and administering data from bridge inspections underpins bridge lifecycle management. Although, the inspection process and identification of material defects is well defined and documented, little guidance is given on systems…

On the night of 5th September 2014 a road-train transporting 52 tonnes of ammonium nitrate crashed next to the Angellala Creek Bridge. The bridge is approximately 30km south of Charleville, on the Mitchell Highway in outback Queensland. The incident…

In recent years the circumferential wrapping with externally-bonded carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites has proven to be a promising method for strengthening concrete structures. This is particularly valuable when repairing concrete…

Strict environmental requirements and the standard specification and procedure for installing carbon fibre bridge strengthening system have naturally led to the works being undertaken during warmer months and on sections of the bridge that have been…

Roads and Maritime Services New South Wales (NSW) is currently undertaking an $84 million project to upgrade the Pacific Highway and Wyong Road Intersection at Tuggerah on the NSW Central Coast. The project involves conversion of an existing…

Arup drew upon its local and global engineering skills and design excellence to develop and deliver a key focal point of Perth’s prestigious new waterfront development, Elizabeth Quay, to our client, MRA’s, delight and widespread acclaim. A key…

The global use of FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) strengthening systems for bridge infrastructure has increased over the last 40 years, typically in North America, Europe and Japan. After a slow beginning, its

In this paper, two methods of FRP applications were carried out to study the fatigue life performance of CFRP laminates bonded to RC concrete block, by mean of investigating the influence of bond behavior application under cyclic loadings.

We are living in a world which has an ever-increasing amount of digitisation: people sip their cappuccinos while reading the Saturday paper on a tablet, university students stream lectures to their laptops without ever setting foot on campus,…
