The paper describes the development, design and construction aspects of a completely new precast, prestressed concrete girder for road bridges.

This article discusses the 375m long incrementally launched bridges over the Usuthu River using reinforced concrete, with no pre-stressing, to carry the construction stage loads.

Mainmark are introducing the STRAAM system of full scale structural integrity assessment and continuous monitoring for Bridges into Australia and New Zealand. Advances in measuring extremely low amplitude vibrations combined with methods for…

All reinforced concrete structures deteriorate over time. Corrosion of reinforcement is a major challenge to the durability of concrete structures. Corrosion in certain environments, such as marine, can compromise the durability of concrete and…

Capacity reduction factors (?) for flexure, shear and axial loadings are derived for reinforced and prestressed concrete structures based on a reliability-based calibration of the Australian Concrete Structures Standard AS3600. The structural…

Corrosion of steel is regarded as one of the most important issues for the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, as corrosion can induce the serviceability decrease, bond strength dropping, steel properties reduction, and longitudinal…

Alkali activated binders (geopolymer) is an emerging technology to produce concrete without the use of any Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) by alkali activation of alumino-silicate source materials such as fly ash and/or slag. Limited knowledge on…

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is employed to evaluate a prestressed concrete bridge continuity detail in a newly constructed bridge in Louisiana. The detail is capable of resisting positive continuity moments that develop due to long-term and…

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.

The Level Crossing Removal Project: Caulfield to Dandenong involves the removal of nine of Melbourne’s most congested level crossings along the Caulfield to Dandenong rail corridor. Grade separation of the four level crossings between Caulfield and…
