Abstract: The dynamic response of a small-scale bridge model under a moving mass is investigated. The analysis is based on the continuous Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. By expanding the unknown structural response in a series of the ...

Abstract: Several codes of practice now support the use of the strut-and-tie method (STM) for the design of complex regions in structural concrete. In this method, a load-resisting truss is idealized and designed to carry the applied ...
