The structural analysis of the Messina Strait Bridge
No full textThe International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS) encompasses all aspects of bridge maintenance, safety, and management. Specifically, it deals with: bridge repair and rehabilitation issues; bridge management systems; needs of bridge owners, financial planning, whole life costing and investment for the future; bridge related safety and risk issues; economic and other implications. The objective of IABMAS is to promote international cooperation in the fields of bridge maintenance, safety, and management for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society
Elementary concepts of structural robustness of bridges and viaducts
No full textThis paper will explain the elementary aspects related to structural robustness. The concept of structural integrity is firstly introduced and next it is considered how it varies in time. The different kind of progressive collapses are introduced with reference to real cases. Design strategies are then explained with reference of bridges and viaducts, considering examples. Finally, considerations about a more general view of structural robustness are enlightened. The role of design clima and conceptual design is stressed also in connection with structural health monitoring. In the whole paper, a practical point of view is used, as needed by designer

No full textThe paper considers the different conceptual frameworks which enact the structural problem and lead to making sense of the results obtained from structural analysis. In fact, there are strong connections between how one frames a problem and what is then searched and solved. While the technical aspects, like mechanical nonlinearities or stochastic uncertainties, are considered today scholars have already developed and almost transparently controlled these aspects. There are a number of human related factors that must be recognized and faced to have a realistic, i.e. useful or more generally ecologically effective, picture of the structure being studied. It seems that the journey in this broad context is just at the beginning
