This book was released on 2004 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incremental launching method (ILM) is one of the newest methods being considered in bridge construction in recent years. Incremental launching is accomplished by assembling segments of the girders behind an abutment, joining them together, and pulling the assembled segments on support bearings to their permanent position. During bridge launching, high-contact stresses can be developed between the launching system and the girders. The solutions of contact stress problems are not typically possible with closed-form solutions because of the complicated geometries, loadings, and material properties. This thesis discusses the design recommendations for the nonlinear finite element modeling of contact problem. In Chapter 2, a number of pertinent articles were presented in three sections: incrementally launched bridges, finite element methods for contact problems, and mesh generation in finite element analysis. Chapter 3 illustrates the general Iowa River Bridge (IRB) launch description and the experimental field data that were collected during the third launch of the westbound roadway. For the IRB, the girder flange was in contact with the roller surface and some of the measured strains during launching exceeded the material yield strain. These behaviors required that both contact and material nonlinearities be considered for the contact-stress analysis of the IRB. The nonlinear finite element modeling is presented in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 details a comparison between contact strains predicted from ANSYS nonlinear finite element modeling and those strains measured experimentally during field testing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 140 experts, 14 countries, and 89 chapters are represented in the second edition of the Bridge Engineering Handbook. This extensive collection highlights bridge engineering specimens from around the world, contains detailed information on bridge engineering, and thoroughly explains the concepts and practical applications surrounding the subject. Published in five books: Fundamentals, Superstructure Design, Substructure Design, Seismic Design, and Construction and Maintenance, this new edition provides numerous worked-out examples that give readers step-by-step design procedures, includes contributions by leading experts from around the world in their respective areas of bridge engineering, contains 26 completely new chapters, and updates most other chapters. It offers design concepts, specifications, and practice, as well as the various types of bridges. The text includes over 2,500 tables, charts, illustrations, and photos. The book covers new, innovative and traditional methods and practices; explores rehabilitation, retrofit, and maintenance; and examines seismic design and building materials. The second book, Superstructure Design, contains 19 chapters, and covers information on how to design all types of bridges. What’s New in the Second Edition: Includes two new chapters: Extradosed Bridges and Stress Ribbon Pedestrian Bridges Updates the Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges chapter and rewrites it as two chapters: Precast/Pretensioned Concrete Girder Bridges and Cast-In-Place Post-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges Expands the chapter on Bridge Decks and Approach Slabs and divides it into two chapters: Concrete Decks and Approach Slabs Rewrites seven chapters: Segmental Concrete Bridges, Composite Steel I-Girder Bridges, Composite Steel Box Girder Bridges, Arch Bridges, Cable-Stayed Bridges, Orthotropic Steel Decks, and Railings This text is an ideal reference for practicing bridge engineers and consultants (design, construction, maintenance), and can also be used as a reference for students in bridge engineering courses.
