An increase in application of advanced materials and high-tech monitoring systems is being
observed in bridge engineering in recent years. The main goal is aimed at optimizing …

Steel-ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) composite deck emerges as a novel structure
that is promising to improve the fatigue performance of orthotropic steel deck (OSD) …

In the paper behaviour of laminated sandwich beams (FRP face sheet–PET foam core–FRP
face sheet) subjected to three point bending is studied. The paper aim is to find practical …

Inspired by the concept of box girders and bubble deck systems, the present study
investigates and develops new forms of composite structures and their behaviours are …

Grid-scored foams contribute significantly to the flexural properties of sandwich structures
such as boat hulls and decks, which are subjected to varying loads during service. This …

To overcome the poor energy-absorbing efficiency of existing layered panels, three kinds of
novel steel-glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)-foam sandwich structures composed of …

Web crippling is a critical premature failure of pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer
(GFRP) composites. One solution is to combine several sections to form a built-up section to …

In this study, a basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) shell–concrete composite bridge deck
with prestressed BFRP strips was investigated. The effectiveness of the prestressed shell …

The paper presents the experimental study of the failure behaviour of sandwich beams
subjected to bending. The samples examined are sandwich beams made of polyethylene …

The paper contains analysis of full-scaled three meters long segment of a novel composite
footbridge. Both numerical modeling and experimental validation were performed. Analyzed …
