Original Abstract

This work focuses on the load-bearing behavior of a specially reinforced existing pier of the Jauntal Bridge in Carinthia (DT Physical Model). This behavior is virtually simulated using a non-linear finite element model (DT Virtual Model). The aim is to draw conclusions about the constantly changing load conditions by observing the development of cracks and the geometric deformations (DT Monitoring, e.g., via orthographic and radar interferometry) and thus to make statements about the constantly fluctuating safety level and the fluctuating service life. Based on these findings, it should be possible to optimize the existing verification formats and the arrangement of the reinforcement measures, particularly the prestressing bars and the interaction between new and old concrete at the pier heads. Consequently, this would allow for a direct assessment of the constantly fluctuating loads and safety levels.
