Reconstruction of Reinforced Concrete Structures on The Example of Bridge Spans Damaged as a Result of Dynamic Impacts

Abstract

The problem of restoring reinforced concrete structures that have received dynamic impacts (emergency as a result of collisions with vehicles, damage as a result of dismantling nearby structures, explosive impacts) is quite an urgent issue. The current regulatory documents regarding the restoration and reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures do not fully correspond to the issues related to the results of dynamic impacts that have characteristic features. Also, the volume of published scientific papers on this topic is not sufficient and implies the need for further research. Nevertheless, to date, a certain amount of work has been carried out to restore such structures with subsequent tests and confirmation of the required level of reliability. The article considers the experience of restoring reinforced concrete structures of bridge spans that were damaged as a result of dynamic impact from vehicles - the result.
