RISCompound Strip Method for Analysis of Plate Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite strip method (FSM) is developed for the analysis of linear elastic flat plate systems that are continuous over, deflecting supports. The approach presented incorporates the effect of the support elements in a ...
<i>PRACTITIONERS' FORUM: Rating Factor Computations for Shear-Moment Interaction Using AASHTO LRFD</i>
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Linking Civil Engineering Design and Drafting Software via IGES
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A Methodology for integrating application design programs and Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) packages is presented. Application of the methodology enables the automatic translation of the final design information into ...
System for Bridge Management in a Rural Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A system is presented for the cityor county-level management of bridges located in Wyoming. Although the research work was directly focused on the state of Wyoming, the consideration involved in the system development, the ...
Compound Strip Method for Continuous Sector Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite strip method is developed for the analysis of linear elastic curved plate systems that are continuous over non‐rigid supports. This approach incorporates the effect of the support elements in a direct stiffness ...
Unique Truck Loads on Interstates in Wyoming and Similar States and the Impact on Bridge Safety Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interstate 80 (I-80) through Wyoming carries a large volume of cross-continental trucks and large energy-industry trucks compared to many other states. Moreover, frequent weather closures position trucks side-by-side and ...
Finite Element Analysis of Cold Embedments in Fresh Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Analytical and finite element analyses are used in parametric studies to determine if ice forms in freshly placed concrete along embedments initially at subfreezing temperatures. The ice thicknesses and time frozen are ...
Fatigue Testing of Stiffened Traffic Signal Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on in-service inspection of poles with traditional designs, the inventory of Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) exhibited approximately a one-third cracking rate. A ring-stiffened connection is presently ...
Sensitivity of Live Load Distribution Factors to Vehicle Spacing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two slab-on-girder bridge superstructures are analyzed using grillage models. Different live load placement configurations are investigated to determine the sensitivity of live load shear and moment to vehicle spacing. ...
Framework for Simplified Live Load Distribution-Factor Computations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The live load distribution-factor (LLDF) equations in the AASHTO-LRFD specifications were developed under National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 12-26. These equations include limited ranges of ...
