Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of highway bridges such as slab-on-girder bridges, box-girder bridges, cable-stayed bridges etc. is a very complicated undertaking. Analytical methods are applicable only for the simplest structures. Finite element method is the most powerful and versatile tool, which can be applied to analyze any types of bridge and any load cases. However, the efficiency of that method needs to be improved because the finite element solutions usually require too much computer time, too large core storage and too many input data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finite Strip Method in Structural Analysis is a concise introduction to the theory of the finite strip method and its application to structural engineering, with special reference to practical structures such as slab bridges and box girder bridges. Topics covered include the bending of plates and plate-beam systems, with application to slab-beam bridges; plane stress analysis; vibration and stability of plates and shells; and finite layer and finite prism methods. Comprised of eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the theory of the finite strip method, highlighting the importance of the choice of suitable displacement functions for a strip as well as the formulation of strip characteristics. Subsequent chapters consider many different types of finite strips for plate and shell problems and present numerical examples. The extension of the finite strip method to three-dimensional problems is then described, with emphasis on the finite layer method and the finite prism method. The final chapter discusses some computer methods that are commonly used in structural analysis. A folded plate computer program is included for completeness, and a detailed description for a worked problem is also presented for the sake of clarity. This monograph will be of interest to civil and structural engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Analysis and Design of Bridges held at ~e§me, lzmir, Turkey from 28 June 1982 to 9 July 1982 are contained in the present volume. The Advanced Study Institute was attended by 37 lecturers and participants from 10 different countries. The Organizing Committee consisted of Professors P. Gtilkan, A. C. Scordelis, S. T. Wasti and 9. Yl. lmaz. The guidelines set by NATO for the Advanced Study Institute require it to serve not only as an efficient forum for the dissemination of available advanced knowledge to a selected group of qualified people but also as a platform for the exploration of future research possibilities in the scientific or engineering areas concerned. The main topics covered by the present Advanced Study Institute were the mathematical modelling of bridges for better analysis and the scientific assessment of bridge behaviour for the introduction of improved design procedures. It has been our observation that as a result of the range and depth of the lectures presented and the many informal discussions that took place, ideas became fissile, the stimulus never flagged and many gaps in the engineering knowledge of the participants were "bridged". Here we particularly wish to mention that valuable informal presenta tions of research work were made during the course of the Institute by Drs. Friedrich, Karaesmen, Lamas and Parker.

Download or read book Improved Finite Strip Method for Nonlinear Analysis of Long span Cable stayed Bridges written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the spans of cable-stayed bridges increase, the degree of nonlinearity of structural response increases markedly. For future spans greater than (say) 800 m, existing three-dimensional software then becomes very time consuming and costly, and a finite strip approach becomes more attractive and preferable. An improved finite strip method using two types of longitudinal shape functions is developed in this paper for the analysis of girders of such bridges. The nonlinearities due to sag and angle change of the cables are taken into account by means of catenary theory. The substructuring technique and the modified Newton-Raphson iteration method are used for noninear solutions. A number of numerical examples are given to show the accuracy and efficiency of this method.

Download or read book Dynamic Analysis of Bridges Using the Finite Strip Method written by Abdulkarim Hassan Ali and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamic analysis of highway bridges is very complex because of the interaction between the moving vehicle load and the bridge response. Analytical methods such as beam theory and orthotropic plate theory are applicable only to simple structures and highly simplified moving vehicle load models. The beam theory is applicable only to long and narrow bridges since it neglects the effect of transverse flexibility of the bridge. The orthotropic plate theory is only applicable to slab bridges under simple vehicle load models as complex vehicle models render the differential equation of equilibrium difficult or impossible to solve. The finite element method is a very powerful and versatile technique which can be applied to deal with any specific configuration of bridge structure, supports and vehicle load models. However, the efficiency of the method needs to be improved because the finite element solutions usually require too much computer time, too large core storage and too much data input. In addition to these deficiencies, in order to simulate the local of the moving concentrated wheel loads the finite element mesh should be refined in both directions. The finite strip method has already proven to be the most efficient numerical technique for the static analysis of bridges. In fact the method is even more efficient for dynamic analysis of bridges. The structure can be divided into a number of finite strips. In each strip the displacement components at any point are expressed in terms of the displacement parameters of nodal lines by means of simple polynomials in the transverse direction and a continuously differentiable smooth series in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the number of dimensions of the analysis is reduced by one. The minimum number of degrees of freedom along a nodal line in the finite strip method is equal to twice times the number of terms used in the series and this is normally much less than that for finite element method, which requires a minimum of three times the number of nodes along the same line. Hence the size and the bandwidth of the matrices are greatly reduced, and consequently it can be handled by personal computers and solved in much shorter time. In this study the finite strip method is applied to dynamic analysis of simply supported single span slab bridges, slab-on girder bridges, box girder bridges and multi-span bridges by using various vehicle load models. Harmonic analysis of beams is covered in Chapter Two as an introduction for the finite strip method. A FORTRAN computer program capable of analyzing all the topics covered in this thesis is also developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridge structures had been predominantly analyzed and designed elastically, beginning at the year of 1971 (Since San Fernando earthquake), researchers started to study the nonlinear seismic response of bridges. There are no detailed guidelines addressing the performance of skewed highway bridges. This book presents the performance of bridges for various skew patterns and skew angles and combination of both by performing non linear seismic analysis. The three dimensional finite element analyses of straight and skew bridges with skew angles varying from 0 degrees to 60 degrees are investigated. Response spectrum analysis is considered for analyzing various bridge models. The efforts are made to investigate the effects of parameters such as skew angles, aspect ratios, and unsupported lengths on the bridge behavior. Also the effect of parameters like S/L and B/L ratios (aspect ratio) for the single span bridges are evaluated.
