for major worries. For the new bridges, the requirements to their
durability require the adoption of concrete with very high character-
istic strength, which for the same levels of solicitations ensures a
greater security reserve.
In relation to the tensile stress in reinforcement, on observe as ex-
pected a significant variation by the effect of cracking. The effect
of the variation of the modulus of elasticity from E
c
to 0.5.E
c
in the
cracked section, is not significant. The complete corrosion of the
inferior layer of the reinforcement (L-1), with the reduction of the re-
inforcement ratio ρ
3
= 2.68% in 20.9% raises the maximum stress
value in the bars in 13.9% for the modulus of elasticity of concrete
E
c
and in 29.4% considering a reduction in the modulus of elasticity
of concrete to 0.5.E
c
.
From distributions of the stresses on the bars of the reinforce-
ment in (SOL) model in the cracked section, one could con-
clude that an inadequate positioning of the deformation sen-
sors in the reinforcement might not capture a real situation of
the stresses on the bars, on the occasion of load tests or in the
monitoring of the structures. This numerical finding suggests
the realization of laboratory and field tests that sensors are ad-
opted in all bars of the reinforcement of a same section, being
adopted details of the execution that induces the occurrence of
cracking in this section.
