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 Design of Steel Concrete Composite Bridges to Eurocodes written by Ioannis Vayas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining a theoretical background with engineering practice, Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges to Eurocodes covers the conceptual and detailed design of composite bridges in accordance with the Eurocodes. Bridge design is strongly based on prescriptive normative rules regarding loads and their combinations, safety factors, material properties, analysis methods, required verifications, and other issues that are included in the codes. Composite bridges may be designed in accordance with the Eurocodes, which have recently been adopted across the European Union. This book centers on the new design rules incorporated in the EN-versions of the Eurocodes. The book addresses the design for a majority of composite bridge superstructures and guides readers through the selection of appropriate structural bridge systems. It introduces the loads on bridges and their combinations, proposes software supported analysis models, and outlines the required verifications for sections and members at ultimate and serviceability limit states, including fatigue and plate buckling, as well as seismic design of the deck and the bearings. It presents the main types of common composite bridges, discusses structural forms and systems, and describes preliminary design aids and erection methods. It provides information on railway bridges, but through the design examples makes road bridges the focal point. This text includes several design examples within the chapters, explores the structural details, summarizes the relevant design codes, discusses durability issues, presents the properties for structural materials, concentrates on modeling for global analysis, and lays down the rules for the shear connection. It presents fatigue analysis and design, fatigue load models, detail categories, and fatigue verifications for structural steel, reinforcement, concrete, and shear connectors. It also covers structural bearings and dampers, with an emphasis on reinforced elastomeric bearings. The book is appropriate for structural engineering students, bridge designers or practicing engineers converting from other codes to Eurocodes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful design and construction of iconic new buildings relies on a range of advanced technologies, in particular on advanced modelling techniques. In response to the increasingly complex buildings demanded by clients and architects, structural engineers have developed a range of sophisticated modelling software to carry out the necessary structural analysis and design work. Advanced Modelling Techniques in Structural Design introduces numerical analysis methods to both students and design practitioners. It illustrates the modelling techniques used to solve structural design problems, covering most of the issues that an engineer might face, including lateral stability design of tall buildings; earthquake; progressive collapse; fire, blast and vibration analysis; non-linear geometric analysis and buckling analysis . Resolution of these design problems are demonstrated using a range of prestigious projects around the world, including the Buji Khalifa; Willis Towers; Taipei 101; the Gherkin; Millennium Bridge; Millau viaduct and the Forth Bridge, illustrating the practical steps required to begin a modelling exercise and showing how to select appropriate software tools to address specific design problems.

Download or read book Analysis of Conventionally Reinforced Concrete Deck Girder Bridges for Shear written by Tanarat Potisuk and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large numbers of 1950's vintage conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridges remain in-service in the national bridge inventory. Many of these bridges are lightly reinforced for shear. Evaluation of these bridges to prevent unnecessary and costly repairs requires refined analytical techniques. This dissertation presents finite element (FE) modeling and comparisons of various analytical methods for predicting capacity of CRC girders typical of reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) bridges. Analyses included bridge-system load distribution, member capacity prediction, and consideration of corrosion damage for strength deterioration. Two in-service RCDG bridges were inspected and instrumented to measure response under known load configurations. Load distribution was developed for the bridges based on the field data. Comparisons with AASHTO factors indicated the design factors for load distribution are conservative. Load distribution of the tested bridges was numerically obtained using FE analysis. The comparisons between predicted results and field-test data indicated the elastic FE analysis can be used for modeling of cracked RCDG bridges to predict load distribution factors for more accurate bridge evaluation. Analyses were performed for a large set of full-size RCDG, designed to reflect 1950's vintage details, and tested using various loading configurations. Four different analysis methods were used to predict the capacity of the specimens considering details of various stirrup spacing, debonded stirrups, flexural-bar cutoff, anchorage of flexural reinforcing, and moving supports. Nonlinear FE analyses were performed to predict behavior of two groups of experimental reinforced concrete (RC) specimens. Two different span-to-depth ratios were included: 2.0 and approximately 3.0. Concrete confinement effects were included in the material modeling. A quasi-displacement control technique was developed to reduce solution times. The FE predicted results correlated well with the experimental data. FE modeling techniques were developed to isolate different contributions of corrosion damage to structural response of experimental RC beams designed to produce diagonal-tension failures. Corrosion-damage parameters included concrete cover spalling; uniform stirrup cross-sectional loss; local stirrup cross-sectional loss due to pitting; and debonding of corrosion-damaged stirrups from the concrete. FE analyses were performed including both individual and combined damages. The FE results matched experimental results well and quantitatively estimated capacity reduction of the experimental specimens.
