Structural Assessment of Bridge Deck Slabs

Paper in proceeding, 2014

The overall aim of this project is to develop improved methods for assessment of the load carrying capacity and response of bridge deck slabs. This research project was carried out by laboratory experiments, analytical computational analysis, linear and non-linear finite element analyses. The on-going non-linear analyses of tested slabs show possibility to accurately predict the load carrying capacity and to realistically simulate the crack pattern and load distribution.
