Concrete bridges are most widely used all over the world, it has important practical significance to research the durability. In this paper, research progress home and abroad of durability and maintenance decision for concrete bridge is summarized. The main problems in research are pointed out and future research tendency is discussed. The content of this paper has good reference value for correlation study.
Based on physical model of three-point-bending test, the AE characteristics of
three-point-bending beams with different relative notch depth during the entire loading period was
simulated by using RFPA3D(realistic failure process analysis) code. Simulation results show that the
relative notch depth affects the AE characteristics significantly. With increasing relative notch depth,
the occurrence of AE events decreases remarkably. The stress distribution figures, elastic modulus
photo and AE relative energy time-space distribution figures as well as an analysis on the failure
process are also provided. Based on the analysis of simulation results, it is concluded that the
heterogeneity of rock and concrete has great influence on the crack propagation path, which leads the
crack propagation path becoming curvilinear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
