Due to the extraordinary properties for heavy-duty applications, there has been a great deal
of interest in the utilization of waste material via geopolymerization technology. There are …

Geopolymer has already been used at a commercial airport, Brisbane West Wellcamp
Airport (BWWA), and in mainline railway sleepers in Australia. It has also been proposed for …

A novel damage detection and localisation method, the so-called Deformation Area
Difference method for localisation of damages in bridge structures is introduced. The method …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars are being increasingly used to reinforce concrete
structures that require long-term resistance to a corrosive environment. This study presents …

The present paper aims to determine numerically in the Abaqus® software the parameters
that have the greatest influence on the effective width of steel-concrete composite box girder …

Many bridges built during the colonial times in Australia have timber girders as load
transferring elements and they are still in service with increased traffic loads and consistent …

This research article presents the study of the transient behavior of railway sleepers
subjected to the static load and the impact factor considered for the dynamic effects. The …

This paper presents a novel high-strength U-shaped bolt (HUB) shear connector, which can
enhance the integrity, disassembly ease, construction quality, and efficiency of prefabricated …

A significant number of wind bracings in existing railway transom top bridges are
numerically assessed deficient against the assessment nosing load recommended by the …

The provided dissertation presents a so-called “Deformation Area Difference (DAD)” method
for condition assessment of existing bridges, especially for the detection of stiffness-reducing …
