Innovative Retrofitting Techniques for the Protection of Anchorage Zones in Cable-Stayed Bridges Subjected to Blast Loads

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project will seek to develop an innovative technology to retrofit anchorage zones in cable-stayed bridges subjected to close-in detonations and severe impulsive loading, through a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study. The innovative material used for the strengthening purposes developed as part of the study will greatly assist engineers in protection and retrofitting schemes of bridges. The results can be communicated directly to the relevant authorities, thus improving Australia's capabilities in dealing with extreme events.
