This paper proposes a multidisciplinary approach, combining the terrestrial laser scanner,
ambient vibration tests and minor destructive tests, to characterize an early reinforced …

The Luiz Bandeira Bridge is located along the Portuguese national road EN333-3,
breaching the valley of the Vouga River, just northeast of the small village Sejães, in the …

A comprehensive rational methodology for the structural assessment of existing bridges is
presented and specifically applied to a historic reinforced concrete arch bridge. The …

Results of the multidisciplinary activities carried out on the different spans of a historic RC
arch bridge are presented in the paper. The bridge, completed in May 1917, crosses the …

This work gathers the outcomes of a comprehensive case study concerning a reference

This paper reports on a series of experimental tests and a numerical study carried out on the
historic masonry bridge of Santa Teresa of Bitonto, located in Bari (Southern Italy). A …

Bridges constitute important elements of the transportation network. A vast part of the Italian
existing infrastructural system dates to around 60 years ago, which implies that the related …

Finite element modeling has become common practice for assessing the structural health of
historic constructions. However, because of the uncertainties typically affecting our …

Nowadays, several historical steel structures present damage and an advanced
deterioration state induced by human or natural actions, causing fluctuations in geometrical …

This paper focuses on the calibration of a numerical model of a stone masonry arch railway
bridge using dynamic modal parameters estimated from an ambient vibration test. The …
