In order to obtain the reasonable finished dead state and ensure the structural safety during construction, it is necessary to deeply investigate the construction stages. A finite element model of a real long- span railway extradosed cable-stayed bridge built in China was established by using MIDAS/Civil finite element software to analyze the stress and deformation of the bridge based on reasonable construction state. The results show that it should be paid attention to the longitudinal displacement at the top of the tower after the middle-span closure stage, and the vertical displacement of the girder in the longest single cantilever stage. The maximum compressive stresses of the tower appeared after the cable tensioning and the girder appeared when the bridge is in the longest single cantilever state are less than the design compressive strength of concrete C55. The maximum tensile stress of the girder appeared when the bridge is in the longest double cantilever state is less than the design tensile strength of concrete C55.","PeriodicalId":168532,"journal":{"name":"IABSE Symposium, Prague 2022: Challenges for Existing and Oncoming Structures","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115390008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital twins (DT), which incorporate a geometric-semantic model of an existing bridge, can support the operation and maintenance process. The process of creating such DT models can be based on Point cloud data (PCD), created via photogrammetry or laser scanning. However, the semantic segmentation of PCD and parametric modeling is a challenging process, which is nonetheless necessary to support DT modeling. This paper aims to propose a segmentation method that is the basis for a parametric modeling approach to enable the semi-automatic geometric modeling of bridges from PCD. To this end, metaheuristic algorithms, fuzzy C-mean clustering, and signal processing algorithms are used. The results of this paper show that the scan to BIM process of bridges can be automated to a large extent and provide a model that meets the industry’s demand.","PeriodicalId":168532,"journal":{"name":"IABSE Symposium, Prague 2022: Challenges for Existing and Oncoming Structures","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115435165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the traditional bridge design method, the structural member is usually analyzed as an independent part/member without considering the structural system behavior.In present study, a whole-scale FE analysis has been conducted for a steel I-girder bridge system with corrosion damages, considering the behavior of the bridge as a system by removing its structural members one by one. It is found from the analytical results that the deck slab and cross- frames are effective for load sharing when corrosion occurs at the girder end of the outer girder subjected to vertical load. As the damage increases, reduction of the maximum load when the deck slab is removed is larger than that of the cross-frames removal. We have also confirmed that the deck slab and cross-frames work as alternative load sharing paths to each other.","PeriodicalId":168532,"journal":{"name":"IABSE Symposium, Prague 2022: Challenges for Existing and Oncoming Structures","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123801225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, torsional buckling often becomes the governing failure mode under compression. While the effectiveness of twisting and warping restraints has been extensively studied for lateral torsional buckling, much less research is available on torsional buckling restraints in cruciform members.For this study various FEM-assisted linear elastic buckling analyses have been performed to assess the increase in torsional buckling resistance due to typical end connections as compared to ideal fork end conditions. Furthermore, it is shown that adding intermediate warping restraints is an effective means against torsional buckling. Finally, a simple design criterion is presented for their spacing and dimensions to effectively eliminate torsional buckling.","PeriodicalId":168532,"journal":{"name":"IABSE Symposium, Prague 2022: Challenges for Existing and Oncoming Structures","volume":"218 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122393459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Façade collapse is particularly concerning as falling components can cause personal injury and block escape and emergency access routes. The 2020 earthquakes in Croatia highlighted these issues and caused considerable damage to thousands of buildings, a high proportion of which were either old or poorly preserved and located in Zagreb’s historic centre. Due to the cultural importance of historic buildings, when restoring or improving the static load-bearing capacity, suitable and aesthetically sympathetic repair methods should be used. This paper presents methods for the repair of existing façades which can be used to preserve the historic building fabric and strengthen the façade structure with the aim of meeting seismic design requirements.

In a previous study, the authors proposed an axial force evaluation method using eddy current. In this study, to apply the proposed axial force evaluation method to the actual measurements, new evaluation indices with the possibility of reducing measurement errors and simplifying measurement have been considered. The applicability of the improved method for high- strength bolts using weathering steel has also been examined. An experiment using both high- strength bolts and weathering steel high-strength bolts was conducted to investigate the possibility of evaluating the stress change due to the axial force with the new indices.","PeriodicalId":168532,"journal":{"name":"IABSE Symposium, Prague 2022: Challenges for Existing and Oncoming Structures","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123621543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The foundations are constructed as direct pad foundations, i.e. with the ability of the caissons to slide and rotate on gravel beds. The bridge supports two high-speed railway tracks and two lanes of road traffic. The waters of Storstrømmen are prone to high naval activity and this, in combination with relatively flexible foundations and high dynamic sensitivity of the girder due to train runability requirements, implies that ship impact scenarios are a critical design parameter. In the present paper, nonlinear dynamic ship impacts performed for the detail design are presented. The simulations include nonlinear representation of soil stiffnesses as well as ship indentation properties. Also, nonlinear geometric effects and strongly nonlinear bearing uplift effects are considered. Detailed descriptions of the complex structural response mechanisms occurring during critical ship impacts are provided and the influence of girder/pier tie-down cables on uplift magnitudes are presented.","PeriodicalId":168532,"journal":{"name":"IABSE Symposium, Prague 2022: Challenges for Existing and Oncoming Structures","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121286484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
