Abstract:
AbstractBridal creeper has become a serious environmental weed in southern Australia. Historically the invaded areas had low soil nutrient levels. However, our field surveys indicate that soils in bridal creeper–invaded areas have higher phosphorus and iron levels than soils in nearby native reference areas regardless of the proximity to agriculture or other disturbances. A glasshouse experiment was undertaken to determine the influence of increased nutrients on plants that co-occur with bridal creeper in order to (1) assess the impact of changed soil conditions and (2) predict the response of dominant species following the biological control of bridal creeper. The relative growth rate (RGR) of bridal creeper, two native shrubs (narrow-leaved thomasia [Thomasia angustifolia] and bluebell creeper [Billardiera heterophylla]), and an invasive exotic grass (annual veldt grass [Ehrharta longiflora]) were determined in three soil types: soil collected within a bridal creeper stand, soil collected from a nearby reference area, and a potting mix with nutrient levels higher than that recorded in the field. The plant species were chosen due to their association with bridal creeper. For example, the native species narrow-leaved thomasia was identified in a previous survey as the most abundant shrub at the invaded site where the soil was collected. The two other species, bluebell creeper and annual veldt grass, were identified from a previous seedbank trial as being abundant (in the seedbank) and able to readily germinate in invaded areas. When grown in either the bridal creeper–invaded soil or reference soil, bluebell creeper had significantly lower RGRs than narrow-leaved thomasia and annual veldt grass. However, as all these species showed increases in RGRs between reference soil and bridal creeper soil, this study indicates that for at least these three species the impact of increased nutrients may not be a barrier to the recovery of invaded areas following the control of bridal creeper.

Abstract:
Asparagus asparagoides (bridal creeper) is a highly invasive noxious environmental weed in southern Australia. It poses a severe threat to biodiversity and conservation in temperate natural ecosystems. Pterostylis arenicola, a threatened terrestrial orchid endemic to South Australia, is directly imperilled by this weed in most of its remnant populations. The coincident growth phenologies of orchid and weed make for an ecologically sensitive environment when considering methods of weed control or eradication. To minimise impact on the orchid and its ecosystem, this paper examines the efficacy of herbicide application for A. asparagoides control using the weed wiping technique, comparing it to the conventional spray application method. The most prolonged control of A. asparagoides was achieved after a single wipe-application of 1.5 g a.i. (active ingredient) L−1 metsulfuron methyl, either alone or in combination with 120 g a.i. L−1 glyphosate, both treatments giving significantly better weed control five years after treatment than comparable spray applications. An investigation of the effect of glyphosate on cultures of the mycorrhizal fungus isolated from P. arenicola indicated a significant decline in mycelial growth with increasing herbicide concentration over the range 0.5–3.0 kg a.i. ha−1. These results provide further incentive for the use of ecologically sensitive herbicide application techniques, such as weed wiping, in areas of high conservation concern.

Abstract:
The effect of concrete shrinkage and creep on the deformation of the bridge structure is posing a serious issue with increasing numbers of large-span bridges are being built. At the moment, only the creep coefficient is usually considered for calculating bridge creep, without taking other factors into consideration. This paper, based on aging theory, considers the influence of shrinkage on creep stress reduction, by simplifying the formula of creep strain under discrete load by using the integral mean-value theorem and deriving the formula of concrete creep strain. Taking a continuous rigid frame bridge for example, the paper calculated the creep considering creep stress reduction under shrinkage, which showed that the method can well predict the final shrinkage and creep values of large-span concrete bridge.

Abstract:
Based on TB-FEM method and laboratory test, the influence of shrinkage and creep on the structure of widened bridge is studied. The shrinkage test uses C50 concrete and C50 double-mixture (steel polyester fiber) concrete to prepare the standard prism specimen, and the creep test uses the 15m hollow slab which exactly has the same material, size, prestress and construction method of a real bridge as the creep test specimen. The strain-time curve obtained by shrinkage and creep is used to define the shrinkage and creep characteristics of the material, and Trost-Bazant is combined with finite element method to analyze the mechanical response of the new and old bridge splicing structure caused by shrinkage and creep. The result shows that under the condition of rigid splicing, the new bridge should be supported by the simply supported structure, and it is not suitable to use the same simply supported and continuous hollow slab as the original bridge. Theoretical analysis and example study show that combination of laboratory test and TB-FEM method can reasonably analyze the effect of shrinkage and creep on bridge widening, and provide a theoretical basis for the type selection of widening structure.

Abstract:
The paper studye the effect of shrinkage and creep on the cable-stayed suapension bridge. In order to research the static action of cable-stayed suspension bridge, two plane models of Jinzhou Bay Bridge is analyzed under shrinkage and creep by using general FEM software. One is a self-anchored bridge and the other is an earth-anchored bridge. The differences in static behavior between the two bridges are compared in detail. The results indicated that the shrinkage and creep effects have great influences on both bridges, and the effects have greater influences on self-anchored system than earth-anchored system. In addition, the author analyzes the causes of these differences between the two bridges. In conclusion，shrinkage and creep have some effect on the bridge displacements and internal forces. It is an important factor which can not be ignored in the design.

The traditional calculation methods of mortar thickness without considering creep of the bridge caused by the mortar thickness, affects the safety and quality of the bridge. This paper proposes a mortar thickness calculation method of bonding layer in large-scale bridge construction based on Kalman filtering. The method uses the mortar creep impact indicators system, selects the creep test data as sample, and analyzes its sensitivity to the thickness to get the intensity of factors affecting mortar creep. It also filters the interface of amount of cement, aggregate content, water-cement ratio and components, and effectively computes the thickness which reduces the cost while improving the quality of bridge construction.

Abstract:
In order to obtain shrinkage and creep of HPC used in Sutong continuous rigid-frame bridge, shrinkage and creep of plain concrete and RC are investigated under natural environment over two years. Reinforcement ratio 0.76% is close to that of the middle span. Loading stress of creep test is about 15MPa, which is near the maximum stress of the bridge. Four loading ages, 7d, 14d, 21d and 28d, were used to simulate different loading ages in construction. The curves of creep and shrinkage were fitted from test values. The results show the test values of creep and shrinkage were less than the current Chinese bridge code JTG D62-2004, and the creep and shrinkage of RC is less than plain concrete. If the reinforcement ratio is low, reinforcement exerts less influence on creep and shrinkage, and the influence of reinforcement can be neglected in engineering application. Reinforcement can effectively reduce creep and shrinkage if the reinforcement ratio is high.

Abstract:
The reinforced concrete arch bridge with concrete-filled steel tubular stiffened skeleton is extensively used in the mountainous area of southwest China due to their long span and high stability. Beibanjiang Bridge located in Shanghai- Kunming high-speed railway, which had a record span of 445 m, has recently been completed in 2016. However, concrete creep and shrinkage have pronounced effects on the long-term deflection and stress redistribution of this bridge. Several concrete creep and shrinkage specimens in the natural environment were made to predict the long-term behaviour of this bridge accurately. They were used to measure the concrete creep and shrinkage of the core concrete and surrounding concrete used in the arch bridge. The test results were compared to ACI209 R-92 Prediction of Creep, Shrinkage and Temperature Effects in Concrete Structures model, 1990 CEB-FIP Model Code 1990: Design Code model, fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model and Creep and Shrinkage Prediction Model for Analysis and Design of Concrete Structures-Model B3. Based on the numerical fitting method, the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model was modified to suit the concrete creep and shrinkage experimental results. Then, the modified fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model was used to predict the timedependent behaviour of a concrete arch bridge.

Abstract:
Combined with the construction of Jinghang Canal Bridge of Jiangliu highway, shrinkage and creep property of the cast-in-situ high performance concrete of bridge girder was researched. The results showed early shrinkage and creep development of the high performance concrete was relatively rapid, and creep tended to be stable 120 days later. With the admixture increasing, shrinkage and creep of the concrete were reduced. Meanwhile, early creep rate deceased. Similar results applied to the reduction of sand rate and water-cement ratio. Based on creep prediction models both at home and abroad, hyperbolic power function and exponential function model were put forward, taking the influence of material parameter and environmental factors on shrinkage and creep into consideration. In accordance with the model, concrete creep formula was given out and would provide a relatively scientific basis for practical prediction of concrete creep.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to report on the development of a three-dimensional (3D) creep calculation method suited for use in analyzing long-term deformation of long-span concrete girder bridges. Based on linear creep and the superposition principle, the proposed method can consider both shear creep and segmental multiage concrete effect, and a related program is developed. The effects of shear creep are introduced by applying this method to a continuous girder bridge with a main span of 100 m. Comparisons obtained with the nonshear case show that shear creep causes long-term deformation to increase by 12.5%. Furthermore, the effect of shear creep is proportional to the shear creep coefficient; for a bridge with different degrees of prestress, the influence of shear creep is close. Combined with the analysis of a continuous rigid bridge with a main span of 270 m, the results based on the general frame program suggest that shear creep amplification is multiplied by a factor of 1.13–1.15 in terms of long-term deformation. Moreover, the vertical prestress has little effect on shear creep and long-term deformation. The 3D creep analysis shows a larger long-term prestress loss for vertical prestress at a region near the pier cross section. The relevant computation method and result can be referenced for the design and long-term deformation analysis of similar bridges.

In this paper, with the train-track-bridge coupling vibration theory, a (90+180+90) m continuous beam-arch combination bridge located on a certain passenger line is analysised comparatively, by considering the effect of concrete creep and temperature deformation. The results show that, the track irregularity caused by the concrete creep and temperature deformation influence the wheel unloading rate and the vertical accelararion of the train so obviously with the speed increasing. It can be concluded that the track irregularity need to be considered, especially for high-speed trains.

Abstract:
A full-scale testing model of laminated bamboo truck load bridge was made based on the original structure. The mid-span deflection of CFRP-reinforced bamboo girders, temperature and relative air humidity were obtained through over three years creep test under self-weight, and the analysis based on experimental results was finished. The results indicate that the average creep deflection of the girders after three years is approximately 8-mm. In addition, the increase in temperature and humidity may contribute to creep. On the basis of creep test, a short-term loading test was carried out applied with dead load, and the bridge collapsed under the load of 18.5-t. By the analysis of the experimental results, it is realized that long span CFRP-reinforced bamboo girders have sufficient capacity to meet the strength and durability needs of practical use. Although CFRP layers could improve the performance of bamboo girders effectively, there is a decrease in strength and stiffness when considering the long-term performance. All these studies may contribute to improving the design of bamboo bridge structures, and some construction measures are suggested for the bamboo bridge according to the results of the experimental and analysis results.

In consideration of the excessive mid-span deflection and box girder cracks of continuous rigid-frame bridges, this paper analyzes the maximum first principal stress and mid-span deflection increment of a continuous rigid-frame bridge with density gradient concrete under shrinkage and creep effect. The maximum first principal stress increment at main span is 0.084MPa and mid-span deflection increment is 73mm after 10 years for continuous rigid-frame bridge with density gradient concrete, which are smaller than a continuous rigid-frame bridge with normal concrete. All of that show that continuous rigid-frame bridge with density gradient concrete reduces effect of shrinkage and creep. The research provides a theoretical basis for the successful application of continuous rigid-frame bridge with density gradient concrete.

Abstract:
Due to the limitations of geography and geology, cast concrete tunnel anchors were used to provide counterforces for Xingkang Suspension Bridge foundation at the left bank of Daduhe River. In this study, the in situ creep tests were conducted on two model tunnel anchors at a scale of 1:10 near the real working anchor site. Thus, the long-term deformation of the real working tunnel anchors installed at the bridge foundation could be determined from the creep test of model tunnel anchors. The creep tests were conducted under three different loads and lasted for 102.2 h, 167.5 h, and 189.4 h, respectively. The model anchor, the surrounding rock, and their interface were all monitored and measured during the creep testing. In addition, the numerical calculation, in which the Burger creep constitution was used for describing the surrounding rock and the Mohr–Coulomb criterion for describing the concrete anchor, was performed to further evaluate the long-term stability of the real working tunnel anchors. The numerical calculations are in good agreement with the laboratory testing results, and the creep deformations of the anchor and the surrounding rock have the same order of magnitude. The results show that the tunnel anchor and surrounding rock of Xingkang Bridge are in a stable creep state under the three different loads.

Abstract:
The influence of track irregularity and deck deformation on the running safety of high-speed railway (HSR) trains is investigated, with emphasis placed on those caused by the creep of continuous prestressed bridges. A bridge model is established with CRTS II ballastless track to account for a train-track-bridge (TTB) system. The creep effect is calculated by the finite element software MIDAS/Civil. The accuracy of the numerical simulation is confirmed by comparing the numerical predictions with field measurements. Considering the stability index of the moving train, the deformation threshold for safe operation of the train is determined. The results show that the initial prestressing stress has a great impact on the residual deformation of the bridge, but the deformation of the rail is less affected by the stiffness of the fastener. Creep irregularity has a great influence on the comfort of the moving train, but does not affect its running safety. When the creep amplitude is greater than 4[Formula: see text]mm, the increase in the amplitude of the creep irregularity has a greater effect on the acceleration of the car body.

Abstract:
Steel and concrete composite structures are widely used in bridge engineering, for it can fully utilize the compression property of concrete and tensile behavior of the steel. However, the coupled behavior of shrinkage and creep exist in concrete. The creep behavior is dependent on the initial stress, while shrinkage is not. The shrinkage and creep of the concrete have a significant influence on the internal force and deformation and it may cause the cracking or even the failure of the structure. Nowadays, precast concrete slab is widely adopted in the composite bridges to reduce the effect of shrinkage and creep. Storage time is a critical parameter for the precast concrete slab to reach the best economic benefit and mechanical behavior of the structure. Therefore, in this paper, the finite element model of Xinshiji Bridge with the consideration of the relative slip between the steel and concrete was established to investigate the influence of loading age of the concrete on the mechanical behavior of the composite bridge, and the optimal storage time was determined.

Abstract:
This paper presents a three-dimensional entity model to analyze the creep effection of PC continuous rigid frame bridge and simulate the impact of longitudinal cracks at the bottom of mian span on the deflection briefly with ANSYS software. The result shows that creep amplifies the deflection of bridge and makes the position of maximum deflection move to the center of mian span. And the longitudinal cracks of mian span don’t make great contribution to the deflection of PC continuous rigid frame bridge directly. Actually, the cracks change the stress state of the bridge’s section, which results in the risk of web cracking and further the stiffness degradation of structure. The stiffness degradation increases the defection of bridge to a great degree finally.

Abstract:
W/C ratio and the quantity of fly ash added have obvious influence on creep of high performance concrete. Effect of different quantities of fly ash on creep of high performance concrete of different W/C ratios used in bridge is studied in this research whose results reflect that creep value reduces along with reduction of W/C ratio at a certain quantity of fly ash added. Adding fly ash restrains creep on the whole, however, the degree depends on the quantity of fly ash added. Creep value of high performance concrete mixed with class-I fly ash at blend ratio of 12~40% is lower than that of standard concrete and fly ash at blend ratio of 18% has the best effect. Creep value in 365d is 51% of that of standard concrete at fly ash blend ratio of 18%, while at fly ash blend ratio of 40%, creep value in 365d is lower than that of standard concrete but higher than that of concrete at other blend ratios. It is generally considered that inhibition of creep of high performance concrete begins to fall beyond blend ratio of 30%.

Abstract:
Over-deflection of beam in continuous rigid frame bridge has become an serious problem in recent years. The reason is complex. Some reseachers think that the bad quality of sectional joints in cantilever construction will cause additional shearing deformation and affect the beam deflection, this idea need to be further studied. In the paper, two three-dimensional models are built up based on a factual bridge, the simulation method of sectinoal joints is studied. The influence of concrete creep on the deflection of box beam with sectional joints is analysed being compared to beam without sectional joints . In order to simulate concrete creep, a method of effective elastic modulus adjusted with concrete age was applied. The study shows that the shearing deformation of sectional joints has obvious influence on the long-term deflection , and different calcultion method of concrete creep has different effect on it. It shouldn’t be ignored in the bridge design.

Abstract:
Taking Guizhou Hezhang Bridge as the engineering background, this paper used Midas/Civil FEM platform to study the pre-stress loss and deformation of main girder in bridge construction stage and completion stage on the basis of concrete creep and shrinkage formulas provided by “Highway reinforced concrete and pre-stressed concrete bridge design code (JTG D62-2004)” and the US bridge standard – AASHTO LRFD – published in 2005. The results showed that the pre-stress pipeline friction losses calculated according to the two standards are basically the same. The loss of the anchor deformation, elastic compression and tendon relaxation obtained by AASHTO LRFD is slightly greater than that obtained by JTG D62-2004. However, due to the different computing models, both pre-stress loss and the main beam deflection caused by concrete creep and shrinkage obtained by AASHTO LRFD are larger than that by JTG D60-2004.

Abstract:
Recently high-performance concrete (HPC) has been used in highway bridges and has gained popularity for its short-term and prospective long-term performances. Benefits of using HPC include fewer girder lines required, longer span capacity of girders, reduced creep and shrinkage deformation, less prestress losses, longer life cycle, and less maintenance of bridges. Research has been conducted on several issues of structural design of HPC bridge beams. The topics discussed include the effects of section properties of prestressed concrete girders, allowable tensile and compressive stresses, creep and shrinkage deformations of HPC, and prediction of prestress losses with HPC. The results from a parametric study have shown that a section that can have a large number of strands placed in its bottom flange is more suitable for HPC applications. The use of 15-mm-diameter prestressing strands allows the higher prestressing force applied on sections and can provide more efficiency in HPC bridges. The research results also indicate that the allowable compressive strength of HPC has a major effect on the structural design of bridges, whereas the allowable tensile stress has a minor effect on the design. Equations for predicting prestress losses based on the experimental and analytical results are recommended. The recommended equations consider the effects of lower creep and shrinkage deformations of HPC.

Abstract:
The creep deflections in service stage of bridges are discussed with the effect of the variable temperature and humidity on creep. A coefficient of equivalent duration of loading (CEDL) is proposed, which is an indicator of the effect of the variable temperature and humidity. According to the periodicity of the climate and based on the recorded and collected daily average temperature and humidity in five cities in Pearl River delta from 2002 to 2006, the monthly average CEDL and the yearly average CEDL are thus given to study the effect of the variable temperature and humidity on the creep deflection of a five spans single plane cable-stayed bridge. It is demonstrated that the effect of the variable temperature and humidity is notable in the early phase but inapparent in the later phase of the service stage of the bridge.

Abstract:
According to the forced load-bearing characteristics of the prestressed concrete girder bridge with corrugated steel webs, the cross-section internal forces and stress redistribution of box-girder were studied under the influence of concrete creep. And the internal force redistribution formula on concrete creep was derived through the establishment of the compatibility equation of bending deformation; the stress redistribution formulas of the top slab and the bottom slab of box-girder at any time were also derived, through the establishment of the compatibility equation of the axial displacement and angular deformation of the top slab and the bottom slab of box-girder under the influence of concrete creep at any time. These show that the creep stress is only related to the box height and it’s the geometric properties of top slab and bottom slab concrete section, but not to the steel web’s size.

Abstract:
This paper continues the previous study on clarifying the time-dependent behaviour of Beipanjiang Bridge ‒ a reinforced concrete arch bridge with concrete-filled steel tubular stiffened skeleton. The obtained prediction models and the Finite Element Models were used to simulate the long-term behaviour and stress redistribution of the concrete arch bridge. Three-dimensional beam elements simulated the stiffened skeleton and surrounding concrete. Then, a parameters study was carried out to analyse the time-dependent behaviour of the arch bridge influenced by different concrete creep and shrinkage models. The simulation results demonstrate that concrete creep and shrinkage have a significant influence on the time-dependent behaviour of the concrete arch bridge. After the bridge completion, the Comite Euro-International du Beton mean deviation of displacements obtained by 1990 CEBFIP Model Code: Design Code model and fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model are 3.4%, 31.9% larger than the results predicted by the modified fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model. The stresses between the steel and the concrete redistribute with time because of the concrete long-term effect. The steel will yield if the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model is used in the analysis. The stresses in a different part of the surrounding concrete are non-uniformly distributed.

Abstract:
The West Sandusky Street Bridge over I-75 in Findlay, Ohio, consisted of a single 170-ft-span hybrid steel plate girder bridge with a concrete deck. To minimize closure times on West Sandusky Street and reduce traffic delays on I-75 during the bridge's replacement, full-width, full-depth precast concrete deck panels were proposed for the bridge deck construction. The precast deck panels are posttensioned both longitudinally and transversely to minimize cracking and improve durability and are constructed with shear stud pockets to allow for the installation of shear studs after erection and posttensioning. During detail design, a finite element analysis of the bridge deck was carried out to determine the required level of prestress in the deck. A time-dependent analysis was subsequently completed to determine the long-term creep effects and posttensioning losses, including the effects of restraint from the steel girders. A sensitivity analysis determined the optimum curing time required before stressing the longitudinal posttensioning tendons and grouting the shear pockets. The steel plate girders were designed for the long-term creep effects due to the posttensioning of the deck, which imposed additional axial loads and moments on the steel girders. The replacement deck panels were fabricated before bridge demolition and road closure. Bridge construction was completed in fall 2004.

Abstract:
With long-term operation of high-speed railways, bridge deformation is hard to avoid, which directly affects the mechanical property of longitudinal connected track. To ensure the structural stability of longitudinal connected track and operation safety of train, this work proposes a work to evaluate longitudinal connected track under combined action of running train and long-term bridge deformation. First, the methodology of evaluating longitudinal connected track subject to train load and long-term bridge deformation has been proposed, in which an accurate train–track–bridge dynamic model and the method to determine long-term bridge deformation are settled. Then, the long-term bridge deformations caused by concrete creep, shrinkage, temperature, and pier settlement are investigated. On this basis, the evaluation of longitudinal connected track subject to long-term bridge deformation and running train is conducted, and the safety value of pier settlement for Chinese high-speed railways with longitudinal connected track is suggested. Results show that the long-term bridge deformations are even larger than the amplitude of random rail irregularity. With smaller settlement, influences of creep, shrinkage, and temperature play the leading role in affecting the mechanical behavior of longitudinal connected track, while influence of pier settlement occupies the dominant position with larger settlement. It is suggested that the pier settlement for Chinese high-speed railways with longitudinal connected track should be less than 7.7 mm to ensure structural stability of track and operation safety of train.

Abstract:
Time dependent variables such as temperature gradient, effective temperature, creep, and shrinkage lead to long term deflection in prestressed concrete girders. This in turn effects the serviceability and sustainability of the bridge in the long run. Therefore, research and analysis is of paramount importance before deciding the type of girder to be used. A parametric study was carried out in order to determine the most desirable and efficient type of box girder to be used for a prestressed concrete bridge having a continuous span. Three prestressed concrete box girder bridge models of single, multi-cell rectangular and multi-cell trapezoidal cross section, having similar span, width and depth were taken into consideration. The finite element models were analysed using MIDAS Civil. The behaviour of the box girder cell types under various time dependent properties such as temperature, creep and shrinkage are presented in this paper. The results show that the prestressed concrete box girder bridge of multi-cell rectangular cross section exhibits greater forces and moments due to time dependent variables in comparison to the other two box girder cell types.

Abstract:
The Northumberland Strait at the Atlantic coast of Canada will be crossed by a 13 km bridge. The major part of the superstructure will consist of 44 spans, each of length 250 m and a box cross section of variable depth 4.5–14 m. The superstructure, divided into units of maximum length 192 m, will be produced in a yard by segmental casting and multistage prestressing. These units will be assembled at their final position on top of the piers. Each pier is composed of two pieces, also produced in the yard and connected on site by cast in situ concrete. This paper describes selected analysis problems and their solutions employed in the structural design. The analysis problems are concerned with (i) dynamic response to ice forces; (ii) movements of pier footings and stiffness of the subgrade; (iii) variation of stresses and deformations during construction and during the life of the structure, considering the effects of creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of the prestressed steel; and (iv) thermal stresses. Key words: bridges, concrete, creep, prestress relaxation, segmental construction, shrinkage, strait crossing.
