Recent technological advances in railway engineering have resulted in track typologies different from the conventional ballasted track consisting of discrete sleepers fastened to the rails and resting on a ballast bed. In particular, ballastless track has been identified as an effective solution due to reduced maintenance costs, high track stability and excellent geometric quality. Though different track typologies are available in the market, they can be classified as monolithic or independent according to the interaction degree with the bridge girder. In the present paper, the dynamic behaviour of short-span bridges is numerically studied by taking into account the track-bridge interaction by modelling explicitly the components of the track. Two types of ballastless track (monolithic continuous slab and independent short slabs) and conventional ballasted track are considered on simply supported bridges with span length in the range of 15-25 m subjected to envelope and commercial train loads at speeds between 200 and 360 km/h. In total, 2448 numerical cases have been analyzed. The study shows that dynamic deflections and accelerations produced at the bridge girder by moving train loads can be reduced when the ballasted track is replaced to ballastless track systems, especially for the critical speeds higher than 300 km/h. Moreover, it is shown that the two ballastless track systems lead to very similar results, with the monolithic system resulting in slightly smaller bridge deflections and also moderately larger accelerations.","PeriodicalId":41423,"journal":{"name":"Hormigon y Acero","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44032313","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}

This has given rise to many of the simplified formulations previously developed for shear calculation being empirical in nature, which lack a clear theoretical basis and they do not provide qualitative information on structural behavior. Therefore, performance-based design becomes difficult using such types of formulations. In this paper, some questions about shear behavior and design are raised, apparently without an immediate answer from the performance point of view, and possible answers based on structural mechanics are provided. The physical phenomena that determine the shear behavior, the resistant mechanisms that are developed, the fundamental parameters that govern them, to what extent they influence and how they are contemplated in some simplified formulations are analyzed. The importance of mechanical models is raised and some examples of how these models can be naturally adapted to multiple project situations, evaluation and reinforcement of existing structures are shown.","PeriodicalId":41423,"journal":{"name":"Hormigon y Acero","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49505694","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}

Any new method to be introduced, should be based in a consensus among experts and based in the experience. Until present, the durability is treated in the Codes following the so called “prescriptive” approach that is based in the limiting of the constituents of concrete, applying a correct curing and limiting the presence of deleterious substances as chlorides and the crack related to serviceability conditions. In the paper are described the changes introduced in the verification of durability in the new current draft of EN 1992-1-1:2010. The main changes are based in a first trial to make durability design by a performance approach to the cover depths for avoiding reinforcement corrosion that were calculated through service life models, but the covers are given in function of a new concept: the Exposure Resistance classes (ERC) which substitute the present “structural classes”. The calculations are not explicit in the Code, because they do not intrinsically imply a higher precision, but only more rational and harmonization to solve some inconsistences. In the paper is also presented the definition and scope of the ERC’s which will be regulated in a next draft standard named: EN206-100. Present method to verify the durability as indicated in present EN-206 (reproduced in Annex P of the current draft of EN 1992-1-1), will be retained for a transition period and it could continue to be applied. Providing the method introducing the ERC’s is based in a new approach and safety format, the coherence with this previous method cannot be guaranteed, but the application of one or other route will give the desired level of durability.","PeriodicalId":41423,"journal":{"name":"Hormigon y Acero","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45027871","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 last sixty years, the research community has shown much interest to solve this problem. In fact, since the 80's years, the use of fibres dispersed in the matrix as shear reinforcement has been explored as an alternative of traditional reinforcement. Several investigations have shown that the addition of fibres in correct proportions, enhances the shear behaviour in concrete elements with and without shear reinforcement. Most of this knowledge has been built using steel fibres. However, macro-synthetic fibres have also been introduced for structural applications in concrete. Some recent publications have reported the success of macro-synthetic fibres to be used as shear reinforcement in structural elements. Within this framework, the present paper aims to review the existing literature about the use of synthetic fibres as shear reinforcement in structural concrete elements.","PeriodicalId":41423,"journal":{"name":"Hormigon y Acero","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135553782","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}

Diferentes normativas consideran la capacidad estructural de las fibras de acero, para cualquier tipo de esfuerzo, en función de valores de resistencias residuales a flexión. No parece adecuado emplear estas resistencias para dimensionar el HRFA frente a solicitaciones de cortante, por lo que se desarrolló la presente investigación y se analizaron dos HRFA, solicitados a cortante, comparándolos con su estudio teórico en relación a la teoría de corte-fricción. Las fibras de acero cosen las fisuras impidiendo se desarrollen libremente, aumentando el rozamiento entre las caras de la discontinuidad. La parte experimental desarrolló ensayos de corte directo tipo “push-off” complementados con técnica de vídeo-extensometría para obtener las variaciones de deslizamiento y abertura de fisura.
