Abstract: This study presents a new nominal flexural resistance of composite I-girder sections using high-performance steel, HSB600, in the positive bending region. Unlike conventional steels, HSB600 undergoes strain hardening ...

Abstract: An improved continuum model of three-span suspension bridges has been developed to study the effects of hanger extensibility on free vertical vibrations. This model can be applied to both hinged and continuous girders. To ...

Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional inclined parabolic cable element for static analysis of cable structures. After a catenary cable element is briefly reviewed, the three dimensional parabolic cable considered in this ...
