ABSTRACT Injecting discontinuities is a recurrent procedure for the rehabilitation of concrete hydraulic structures, namely repairing cracked dam bodies and deteriorated lift and contraction joints. Within this scope, a relatively detailed description of the most important cement injection grouts features is presented, including the main advantages and drawbacks compared to alternatives. The cement-based grouts are among the most utilised materials in these contexts. Economic and environmental related aspects are among the main advantages of cement-based grouts, although some technical features of these grouting materials are also favourable. The equipment utilised for the preparation and for the application of cementitious grouts is also mentioned. This document also addresses aspects related to the assessment of concrete dams’ stability, the preparatory works, the common methodologies and the standard precautions to have into account when planning a rehabilitation operation involving cement grouting for filling cracks or repairing lift or contraction joints in these massive structures. A list of successful rehabilitation case histories is provided, including a short description of the anomalies and their causes, as well as a summary of the main repair measures adopted for each situation.

ABSTRACT As the demand for field testing of bridges grows, so does the need to optimize field testing procedures to allow for a simplified testing strategy that can be employed more effectively. With the advent of computer vision, there has been limited research exploring Feature-Based Image Registration (FBIR) methods for structural testing of bridges. In this paper, the potential of a simple FBIR approach to accurately capture submillimeter displacements using consumer-grade cameras will be demonstrated through a field test on a reinforced concrete slab bridge and on a full-scale bridge deck specimen in the laboratory. The internal and external parameters that influence the results of this measurement strategy were investigated by using various camera positions during the laboratory tests and applying different threshold parameters to the Speeded-Up Robust Features algorithm used for the feature detection and matching. The FBIR method demonstrates great potential, producing an average measurement accuracy within 1.6% of conventional displacement sensors during the field test and 3.3% during the laboratory tests. Altogether, the advantages to this image-based measurement approach enhance the load testing strategy to be implemented by bridge owners at much lower costs and with minimal complication and field setup.

ABSTRACT In recent years, strengthening methods for reinforced concrete structures using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been gaining widespread interest and growing acceptance in civil engineering industry. Near surface mounted (NSM) reinforcement as well as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) sheets have emerged as new strengthening methods in which external reinforcement (in the form of bars or sheets) is embedded into grooves or adhered to the section with epoxy adhesive. This paper proposes a simplified analytical approach to predict flexural behaviour of simply supported reinforced-concrete (RC) beams strengthened with carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) using the above-mentioned methods. The flexural capacity and deformational behaviour of FRP strengthened beams are analysed using trilinear moment curvature relationship at three critical points namely (i) crack initiation point (ii) steel yield initiation point and (iii) ultimate capacity point, based on strain compatibility and principles of equilibrium. A good predictive performance of analytical model is appraised by simulating force-deflection response registered in the experimental program composed of RC beams strengthened with NSM as well as EBR methods. The analytical solutions have also given accurate prediction of experimental results in the literature regardless of the arrangement of CFRP reinforcement.

ABSTRACT Bridge health monitoring has been attempted to ensure the safety of the bridges in their operations, employing various measurement options like acceleration, strain, displacement, etc. The relative efficacy of these measurements as a damage-sensitive response has remained a topic of research. While acceleration has traditionally been used in abundance, dynamic strain, being relatively cheaper to record, also holds the potential to replace acceleration. This study undertakes a comparative investigation weighing the relative benefits of both the measurement options for prompt and reliable damage detection in both the time and frequency domain. The comparison is drawn in the light of damage sensitivity, intensity and consistency of the damage signature of the adopted measurement type while keeping the damage and loading specifications unaltered. A multi-span concrete box girder has been replicated with a high-fidelity numerical model as a proxy for the real structure followed by an experimental validation on a propped cantilever beam. Acceleration and strain responses are measured and analyzed for different damage conditions. A rigorous sensitivity analysis is undertaken to compare explicitly the performance of both the measurement options. The results demonstrated superior performance with the strain response in time and frequency domains from consistency and intensity perspectives.

ABSTRACT There are several ongoing humanitarian crises all around the world that have led to many refugees, who need affordable shelters and saferooms. Additionally, these structures are widely located in the backyard of homes in case of hurricanes, tornados, and/or earthquakes. This paper presents a chronological literature review of investigations and comparisons on characteristics of different type of saferoom/shelter wall systems. The characteristics, scrutinized in this study for each type of wall, include structural strength, construction cost, time to construct, and sustainability of saferoom/shelter walls. The most significant contributions of these studies are identified and presented. The results showed that soilbag shelter walls can be constructed with relatively low cost, relatively shorter time, and being relatively more sustainable compared to other types of shelter walls considered in this study. Soil-filled earthbag specimens are stronger and stiffer than gravel-filled specimens of identical size and stack geometry. Using locally available materials minimizes the energy needed and pollution produced due to material transportations. Furthermore, recyclable waste bags can be used to produce bags in soilbags. A slanted roof can be used in any type of shelter wall to harvest rainwater for each shelter use. Moreover, the literature review indicated that the shelter walls made of CLT, and lumber panels are generally stronger against wind loads (250-mph) compared to walls made of soilbags (225-mph).

ABSTRACT The Ten Arches Bridge is a historical stone bridge that is located in Amman, Jordan. The bridge has a valuable cultural heritage as it was built in 1908 to serve the Hejaz Railway Line. This study presents a structural assessment of the bridge including a field inspection, experimental investigation, and numerical structural analysis. The study also investigates the efficacy of utilizing in-situ Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) such as Rebound Hammer (RH) and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) tests in the assessment of stone arch bridges. Detailed experimental and numerical investigations were performed to identify the structural integrity of the bridge by evaluating the acting stresses and displacements under static and dynamic loads. Minor deteriorations were found in the bridge’s body due to human and environmental factors. However, the geometrical properties of the bridge have not been significantly changed. The obtained results of the numerical analysis concluded that the bridge can sustain the current imposed dead and traffic loads, but not serve seismic actions. Compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of stone units obtained by RH and UPV tests are in agreement with the laboratory tests. Accordingly, NDT techniques can provide and verify basic mechanical properties that are needed for numerical analyses.

ABSTRACT This research proposes a new approach, in which a tuned mass damper (TMD) is installed in an articulated tower subjected to moving loads caused by ground. Then, the vibration equations of the system are formulated for analyzing and selecting the optimal parameters of the tuned mass damper to reduce the harmful vibrations. The maximization of equivalent viscous resistance method is applied to determine the optimum parameters of the tuned mass damper. The purpose of designing the tuned mass damper is to suppress the vibrations of the articulated tower. The results show that the vibration of the articulated tower is effectively eliminated by using the optimum parameters of the tuned mass damper in this paper. In particular, the optimum expressions are given in analytical solutions, which involve the parameters in well-understood forms to derive the exact solution of the optimum parameter. These optimum expressions, helping the researchers easily design the tuned mass damper on controlling vibrations of the articulated tower.

ABSTRACT Timely maintenance of bridge components is critical for bridge management functions. With reliable deterioration models, highway agencies can efficiently allocate funding for bridge maintenance and customize maintenance schedules to meet agency budgets. The increased public expectation of acceptable levels of service for bridges coupled with other competing needs makes it crucially important to accurately estimate bridge future conditions so that adequate resources may be allocated for repair and reconstruction purposes. Accurately predicting bridge condition is challenging due to the inherent random nature of factors impacting deterioration, the existence of unobserved variables that are not measured, panel nature of the data and the effects of bridge-specific correlation. Without accounting for these factors, the resulting estimated deterioration models may have biased and inconsistent parameter estimates. This article assembled a comprehensive set of bridge and climate data from the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) and the South Carolina Climatology office. Bridge component deterioration models for bridges on state highways in South Carolina were estimated using an ordered probit model with random effects specification to account for the randomness and panel nature of the bridge data. The study results are useful for various bridge management tasks including maintenance programming, budgeting and bridge asset evaluation.

ABSTRACT This paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls strengthened with steel-welded wire mesh (WWM) overlay with mortar to improve their in-plane shear strength and deformation capacity. The experimental programme consists a compression testing of masonry prism and a diagonal compression testing of 15 wall specimens made of clay brick strengthened with four different WWM systems: (i) embedding WWM along the bed joint, (ii) embedding WWM along the bed joint and a strip diagonally crossing on wall surface, (iii) WWM alternately embedding along the bed joint and continue to the surface of wall and (iv) WWM fully cover on wall surface. The experimental results show that the adopted WWM-strengthening solutions produce a beneficial increase of compressive strength, shear resistance, ductility and energy dissipation capacity making them suitable for seismic strengthening.

ABSTRACT Many studies have only studied carbonation and chloride penetration separately, and study dealt with synergy interaction between these is very rare. This study is devoted to examining the chloride penetration parameters of carbonated cementitious materials, i.e. (a) surface chloride content, (b) chloride diffusivity, (c) chloride adsorption capacity and (d) critical chloride content linked with reinforcement corrosion directly. These chloride transportation parameters were expressed as a function of time in each condition because these depend on the mixing proportional properties and the degree of cement hydration. This study is expected to be useful to develop a chloride penetration model of carbonated concrete in the future.
