Real-time monitoring of instantaneous cable tension is essential for condition monitoring
and health diagnosis of cable-supported bridges. Vibration-based identification of cable …

This work is a vital step in enhancing the potential use of a newly developed basalt fibre
reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars for prestressing applications. An experimental investigation …

In cable-stayed bridges, cables are susceptible to fatigue damage due to cyclic traffic loads.
The accurate monitoring of cable tension is critical in assessing fatigue damage and …

To understand the secondary transfer performances of residual prestress after the anchoring
failure of end-anchored steel wire strands due to corrosion fracture, six steel wire strand …

Accurate monitoring of time-varying cable force plays a vital role in the condition assessment
of cables. However, most current methods for identifying the cable force can only provide an …

An analytical model is proposed to predict the transfer length in pre-tensioned concrete (PC)
beams under corrosive cracking. The coupling effects of Hoyer effect and corrosion-induced …

Pretensioned concrete (PC) is widely used in contemporary construction. Bond of
prestressing strand is significant for composite-action between the strand and concrete in …

An experimental study is conducted on ten pre-tensioned concrete (PC) beams with different
local corrosion degrees and positions to investigate the effect of corrosion on the transfer …
