  • Design, analysis and evaluation of bridge superstructures for live loads

    Creator:
    Turan, O. Tugrul
    Abstract:
    Due to age, original design that is deficient by modern standards, inadequate maintenance, environmental conditions, and increasing loads, large numbers of bridges in United States and elsewhere are classified as deficient and in need of rehabilitation or replacement. According to a national bridge inventory established by the Federal Highway Administration,...

  • New acoustic emission applications in civil engineering

    Creator:
    Schumacher, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Non-destructive testing methods and applications have become of increasing interest due to the worldwide aging and deteriorating infrastructure network. In the field of Civil Engineering, bridges and bridge components as well as non-structural elements such as roadway pavements for example, are affected. In particular, the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique offers...
