...Janusz Hołowaty, PhD During the routine testing of structural steels in bridges in western Poland, on two segments of railway lines built back in 1875, it was revealed that four bridge structures had been manufactured from steels of higher tensile strength than regular mild steel. These bridges had...

...Chao Zhang, PhD Fibre-reinforced polymer composites have gained increasing popularity within the bridge engineering sector, mainly due to the financial benefits often associated with their use. As concerns grow over climate change and depletion of natural resources, it is important...

...Giovanna Zanardo, PhD, CEng, MICE, MIEAust, CPEng; Ahmad Shayan, PhD; Robert F. Scanlon, BEng, CPEng, MIEAust A number of composite concrete bridges (i.e. bridges with precast prestressed concrete beams designed to act structurally in combination with a cast-in-situ concrete slab) were constructed...

... the cost and environmental implications when any new material is introduced into construction. The main barriers to application of new materials within the construction industry are discussed in detail with reference to the development of an advanced composite bridge decking system. Based...
