New Prequalification Categories Proposed: Steel Fabrication and Pre-cast Concrete Products
In late 2014 Austroads sought feedback on a proposal to add two new specialist categories to Australia’s National Prequalification System.
Proposed Revisions to AS 5100 Part 5: Concrete
Since the introduction of the current Bridge Design Standard in 2004 there have been real advances in both design and construction methods and in materials technology. The Part 5 Standards Australia Sub-Committee (BD090-05) has responded to this…
Time-Variant Performance Indicators for Concrete Bridges Exposed to Corrosion
The life-cycle performance of concrete bridges exposed to corrosion is investigated based on a set of time-variant probabilistic performance indicators including structural reliability, redundancy, robustness and resilience. The performance…
Long-Term Performance of Concrete Bridges Under Extreme Events
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in a marine environment deteriorate with time due to chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing bars. Corrosion is initiated by chloride contamination if the structures have poor quality concrete and/or inadequate…
