Modelling interactions between multiple bridge deterioration mechanisms (2020)
Journal Article
Calvert, G., Neves, L., Andrews, J., & Hamer, M. (2020). Modelling interactions between multiple bridge deterioration mechanisms. Engineering Structures, 221, Article 111059. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2020.111059

Bridge asset managers are tasked with developing effective maintenance strategies by the stakeholders of transportation networks. Any presentation of maintenance strategies requires an estimate of the consequence on the Whole Life Cycle Cost (WLCC),...

Partial safety factors for prestressed concrete girders strengthened with CFRP laminates (2019)
Journal Article
Dias-da-Costa, D., Neves, L. A. C., Gomes, S., Graça-e-Costa, R., Hadigheh, S. A., & Fernandes, P. (2020). Partial safety factors for prestressed concrete girders strengthened with CFRP laminates. Journal of Composites for Construction, 24(1), Article 04019060. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29CC.1943-5614.0000993

This paper provides a framework for the calibration of partial safety factors in prestressed concrete (PC) girders strengthened in flexure with carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. A hybrid approach was proposed to take advantage of comp... Read More about Partial safety factors for prestressed concrete girders strengthened with CFRP laminates.

Comparison of truck fuel consumption measurements with results of existing models and implications for road pavement LCA (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Perrotta, F., Parry, T., Neves, L. C., Buckland, T., Benbow, E., & Viner, H. (2018). Comparison of truck fuel consumption measurements with results of existing models and implications for road pavement LCA.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used to evaluate the impact of all lifecycle phases of road pavements on the environment. From the late ‘90s, this technique has continuously evolved and improved, however, there are still limitations and u...
