Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report includes descriptions of three computer programs developed to enable practicing engineers to make use of the two-dimensional finite element model FESWMS-2DH for the analysis of scour at single opening bridges. Multiple opening bridges could be analyzed one opening at a time after using WSPRO to determine the division of flow for each opening. The executable versions of the programs are available. The program descriptions are as follows: PREFES is a preprocessor for FESWMS-2DH which is described in detail in the report. The program PREFES creates the finite element grid input file and various other files required to run FESWMS-2DH. It is designed to create close to the maximum allowable number of finite element nodes with the greatest node density through the bridge opening. This results in very precise flow modeling by FESWMS-2DH. Reliable estimates of angle of attack, velocity magnitude and approach depth can be obtained for scour calculations.

Download or read book Bridge Aeroelasticity written by J. A. Jurado and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to the study of an aeroelastic phenomenon of cable supported long span bridges known as flutter, and proposes very innovative design methodologies, such as sensitivity analysis and optimization techniques, already utilized successfully in automobile and aerospace industries. The topic of long-span suspension and cable-stayed bridges is currently of great importance. These types of bridge pose great technical difficulties due to their slenderness and often great dimension. Therefore, these bridges tend to have problems caused by natural forces such as wind loads, some of which we have witnessed in our history, and we are currently seeing a very high incidence of bridge construction to overcome geographical obstacles such as bays, straits, or great estuaries. Therefore, it seems very appropriate to write a book showing the current capability of analysis and design, when up until now, the information could only be found partially in technical articles. This book will be useful for bridge design engineers as well as researchers working in the field. This book only requires previous knowledge of structural finite element models and dynamics, and it is advisable to have some previous knowledge in bridge engineering. Nevertheless, this book is very self-contained in such a way that all the information necessary to understand the theoretical developments is presented without the need of additional bibliography.
Download or read book Aeroelastic Phenomena and Pedestrian structure Dynamic Interaction on Non conventional Bridges and Footbridges written by Claudio Borri and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid-structure and pedestrian-structure interaction phenomena are extremely important for non-conventional bridges. The results presented in this volume concern: simplified formulas for flutter assessment; innovative structural solutions to increase the aeroelastic stability of long-span bridges; numerical simulations of the flow around a benchmark rectangular cylinder; examples of designs of large structures assisted by wind-tunnel tests; analytical, computational and experimental investigation of the synchronisation mechanisms between pedestrians and footbridge structures. The present book is addressed to a wide audience including professionals, doctoral students and researchers, aiming to increase their know-how in the field of wind engineering, bluff-body aerodynamics and bridge dynamics.
