Design for optimal life cycle costs (LCC) of high speed railway bridges by enhanced monitoring systems

Objective

Steel-concrete composite bridges are an important alternative to concrete bridges due to considerable advantages regarding the design, construction time, durability and costs.

They are largely exploited in high-speed lines of the European railway networks even if a lot of still open problems in design and management limit their exploiting. The proposal aims to remove actual uncertainties on dynamic effects and interaction phenomena, fatigue loadings, structural modelling, fatigue life and damage assessment.

What�s more, such results will allow setting up an innovative design approach, able to minimize life-cycle costs guaranteeing adequate safety level and working conditions.
