The evolution of the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) process has brought new challenges to be overcome. Changes in structural dynamics generated by operational and environmental variation continue to be the greatest technical challenge, as they mask the existence of structural damage, changing the level of severity. Although the number of approaches to attenuate these effects is growin…
The project consists of a study of the deformability of current concrete structures due to cracking, shrinkage and creep processes. This study involves aspects of characterization of the material mechanical properties of concrete by shrinkage and creep tests. There is a special interest in characterizing the dosage processes and the properties above presented for the Self-Compacting Concr…

Railway bridges are considered Structural Arts, due to their impressive dimensions, ability to span obstacles, and transport people and goods within a country. Due to the cyclic nature of the loads acting on these structures, their structural elements and connections are subjected to fatigue, which can compromise their performance and even their safety. Therefore, it is important to devel…
Bridges and viaducts are key elements of any land transport infrastructure, allowing for shorter and more economical journeys by avoiding the need to bypass obstacles such as rivers and valleys. This aspect is even more important when it comes to the railway in which vehicles are not able to overcome very intense slopes. Recent technological advances in trains have led to significant incr…
Bridges consist in fundamental structures to the transport infrastructure, developing essential links that contributes to the economy and social well-being. These structures, whether in railways or roadways, are subjected to damages developed due to their use over the course of time, especially caused by material deterioration process and cyclic loading. Therefore, the programmed inspecti…
The railway transportation mode is essential to the movement of goods and passengers in the world, and in the last decades advances in train technology allowed for a great increase in load capacity and vehicle speeds. In this context, it was necessary to develop sophisticated methods to analyze the railway bridges' structural systems dynamically, since the increasingly high loads and spee…
The analysis of structural behavior to assess the level of preservation of buildings have been the subject of growing research and recognized technical and scientific interest. The structural monitoring has the ability to detect structural defects and thereby forecast maintenance services, providing important consequences in service life and safety of the structures. Thus, this paper aims…
Concrete is a material widely used in civil structures, mainly, due to its high mechanical resistance to compression efforts and its easy application. The design of concrete structures is limited mainly by its resistance to traction, which is approximately ten percent of its resistance to compression, with brittle fracture. In recent years several experimental studies have demonstrated th…

Railway transportation is essential for the movement of cargo and passengers around the world, and in recent decades advances in train technology have allowed a large increase in the load capacity and speed of vehicles. In this context, it was necessary to develop sophisticated dynamic analysis methods to evaluate the behaviour of structural systems of railway bridges, since large loads a…
Bridges are a vital transportation infrastructure component, forming essential links that significantly contribute to the economy and social well-being. These structures are susceptible to damage over time, primarily due to material deterioration processes and external loading effects. In this context, scheduled inspections of these systems are crucial to ensure safety and proper service …
This project proposes the development of the new techniques for modeling reinforced concrete structures. Steel fibers, disperse in the matrix, can be considered. This technique involves the mixture theory methodology; standard finite element with a very high aspect ratio; continuous strong discontinuity approach; embedded discontinuity technique and accelerated schemes for the solution of…
