Abstract: Circular base plates are commonly used for pipe columns, such as pylons in cable-stayed bridges, lighting poles, and electric power line posts. Although the explicit solutions for rectangular base plates can be found in ...

Abstract: Torsional stiffness is one of the member section properties commonly used in the 3D finite-element structural analysis. The explicit formulas for the torsional properties in both thin-walled open cross sections and single ...

Abstract: Combined footings on piles are commonly used in bridges and buildings. However, there are very few references available regarding the structural analysis of these footings. This paper discusses three methods for analyzing ...

Abstract: Crossframes in horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges are primary members. They must be designed for strength and fatigue. Curved girder analysis computer programs typically compute crossframe member forces only due ...

Abstract: Integral-abutment bridges have many advantages over full-height-abutment or stub-abutment bridges. Integral abutments eliminate or reduce the number of expansion joints in bridge superstructures and simplify design, ...

Abstract: The theories of continuum damage mechanics and plasticity are combined in a strain‐based phenomenological approach to yield an effective constitutive model for plain concrete. The model reproduces the majority of the typical ...
