We recently published a paper in Structure and Infrastructure Engineering about the collapse test on the Ruytenschildt Bridge and the implications for the flexural assessment of reinforced concrete slab bridges. The abstract of the paper is as follows:A large number…
I recently gave a guest lecture at my alma mater, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. You can also find some photographs of this even on the Facebook page of the group Mechanics of Materials and Constructions. The abstract for the presentation was…
I recently gave a presentation at IALCCE 2016, the Fifth International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering, which was organized in Delft, the Netherlands. We organized a mini-symposium about proof load testing, which I co-chaired with some of my colleagues. The…
I recently gave a presentation at the ACI Convention in Philadelphia, during the joint ACI-fib symposium on punching shear. This presentation is related to the publication of an ACI Special Publication. The abstract of my talk was as follows: The…
This year, I did not have the chance to travel to IABMAS. However, my former student Ms. Flores-Valverde traveled to IABMAS to present her thesis work as well as the paper of myself and my coauthors. The abstract of her…
Universidad San Francisco de Quito recently made a video highlighting my current research on load testing of bridges. You can watch it here:
Time for another Q&A post (yes, I'm finally doing an effort in replying your long overdue questions!).Here's a question I received a few months ago:While reading any phd file you usually highlight the important points from that file. How do…
Time for a quick Q&A again today! Some time ago, I received the following question:Congratulations Eva!I would like to ask you what method are you using to reproduce the crack pattern (see Fig. 12 in your paper)The answer is quite…
We recently published a paper about the probabilistic analysis of the failure mode of the Ruytenschildt Bridge in Engineering Structures. You can download the paper for free for a month before it goes in hiding behind a paywall.The abstract is…
We recently published a paper on the field and laboratory testing of the Ruytenschildt Bridge. This bridge was tested to failure in two spans, and then beams sawn from the bridge were tested in the lab to study the behavior…
