In this study, a total of 935 data was used to analyze the correlation factors and positions of the common bridge damage through logistic regression. There are three aspects of the factor of bridge damage which include essential bridge character, external bridge condition, and internal bridge structure. Based on the whole bridge condition index, in terms of different damage positions, we perfor…
This work present the main types and features of rigid and flexible pavements built over Brazilian bridges and viaducts as well as stresses and strains developed on them according to Legal Brazilian Load. In this paper, it is shown a special report about binding layers between rigid pavement and its special foundation . It is also discussed on Brazilian bridges, why preference for flexible pave…
Scour around bridge piers is one of the main causes for bridge failure. Unfortunately, models for accurate and robust predictions of scour levels are presently not available. In such conditions, real time monitoring of scour depths appears as the only possibility to reduce uncertainties in risk evaluations during flood events. A monitoring system for a river bridge has been recently develope…
