- Additional information
- This prize-winning paper (ICE Bill Curtin Medal Prize for Research and Innovation, 2015) describes, for the first time, a new approach to concrete perseveration, bearing replacement and structural strengthening of category A listed historic infrastructures, devised by the authors. The new method requires minimum changes to existing articulation and avoids adverse effects on historic brittle materials. This approach was successfully used in the Forth Road Bridge structural rehabilitation live design and build project. These models are included in the International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) code for concrete structures.
