This book was released on 2009 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's textbooks, analyzing prestressed members and bridges takes a two-dimensional approach. Two-dimensional analysis is the only way to analyze prestressed bridges and members because otherwise the hand calculations are extremely difficult. Skewed bridges, however, need to be analyzed and designed three-dimensionally. Based on engineering inspection, it is possible to tell how a non-skewed symmetric bridge will behave. However, the knowledge of how a skewed bridge will behave cannot be obtained by inspection only. Finite element analysis can be used to model a bridge and discover how the bridge will react to dead loads and post-tensioning forces. When a bridge is built on a skew, the acute corners of the bridge support much less concrete weight than the obtuse corners of the bridge. If the post-tensioning force causes a decrease in load at the acute corners of the skewed bridge and if the skew of the bridge is great enough, there is a concern that there could be uplift at these acute corners of the bridge. Uplift at any corner of the bridge should not be allowed. The objective of this study is to investigate a simple span skewed box girder bridge to see if any uplift occurs at the acute corners of the bridge due to post-tensioning forces. After careful study of a skewed simple span cast-in-place post-tensioned box girder bridge, it was found that the post-tensioning force actually transfers more downward force into the acute corners of the bridge. Based on this study, the post-tensioning force will not cause uplift in the acute corners of the skewed bridge.

Book excerpt: Many highway bridges are skewed to maintain the profile of natural obstacles to road like rivers, and depressions. Generally, we analyze straight bridge girders making it a line element which makes our hand calculations simpler. However, if we follow the same procedure for skewed bridges like straight ones, we cannot fully visualize and determine their behavior properly which may lead to over estimation or underestimation on different structural forces like bending moment, shear force and most importantly deflection. It is because when we look on skewed bridges in three dimension, the ends of the bridges are skewed to the centerline of the bridges and we can clearly realize that the concrete materials in the acute side is less than that in the obtuse side. If the skew angle is relatively large, it might be the case that there is unbalancing forces along the cross section of the skewed bridge which might lead to the camber at the center of the bridge to be inclined to the vertical which might tend to rotate the entire bridge about the vertical plane. This implies that highly skewed bridges tend to attract more torsion making the design more complicated. If these aspects are not taken into consideration, the skewed bridges might not be good fit while taking the limit state of serviceability. This thesis paper investigates into the three-dimensional analysis of a skewed bridge. Finite element modeling is utilized to analyze the skewed bridges and we can know how it behaves. After the modeling and analysis of a simple span cast in place post tensioned skewed bridge, it is seen that the deflection and bending moment at the mid-span of a skewed bridge is less compared to the non-skewed bridge. Moreover, a skew effect factor is also found which is very useful while designing skewed bridges.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analytical study was carried out for the structural performance assessment of precast-concrete, short-span, skewed bridges with integral abutment walls. Typically, these structures are designed as simplified two-dimensional rigid portal frames, neglecting the degrading effects of the skew angle and laterally unsymmetrical vertical loading. This design practice produces under-designed bridges for certain aspect ratios, causing cracking and local deterioration symptoms, observed in some instances out in the field. To evaluate the limitations of this practice, three-dimensional finite-element models were developed and analyzed. Accordingly, these finite-element models simulate various geometric configuration parameters, as well as, laterally symmetrical and unsymmetrical vertical load conditions, capturing the amplification of the structural response. Field-testing was also performed on a bridge to substantiate and calibrate the finite-element results. The results of the simplified plane frame analyses and three-dimensional finite-element analyses were presented in correlation diagrams, enabling simple comparison and quantification. The correlation diagrams provide correction factors to amend the simple frame design. The response observations offer a qualitative insight into the actual behavior of the structure, allowing the performance assessment of existing bridges of the same type and a more reliable design in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although composite construction consisting of prestressed, precast, inverted T beams with in-fill reinforced concrete is a popular option for bridges in the UK, design procedures are based on scanty data. The paper describes some of the principal results from tests and analytical studies of two scale model bridges, commissioned by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory. Both models were constructed to a scale of 1:3.5 and were tested with loading patterns defined by contemporary standards. One model was of a standard underbridge with 25 degrees of skew and the other was based on a span of a bridge with 40 degrees of skew designed by Cheshire County Council. The paper first describes their responses to repeated applications of loading to the serviceability limit state level, and then to the design ultimate limit state load level. A description of the structural responses as the load intensity on the design vehicle is further increased to maximum values, is then given. For both bridge decks, failure was ductile. However, neither bridge developed a full yield line pattern, as separation of the in-situ and precast concrete components destroyed orthotropic slab behaviour. Linear analytical methods were found to be suitable for predicting moment and shear force distributions for load levels up to the design ultimate limit state. A non-linear analytical method is briefly described which predicted observed features of behaviour before separation occurred. This method has considerable potential for predicting structural response to overloads. Yield line methods were found to be unsuitable for determining the load capacity of concrete, composite, skewed bridges. For the covering abstract of the Conference see IRRD Abstract no. 807839.
Book Synopsis Vehicle-bridge Interaction Dynamics by : Yeong-Bin Yang
Download or read book Vehicle-bridge Interaction Dynamics written by Yeong-Bin Yang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The commercial operation of the bullet train in 1964 in Japan marked the beginning of a new era for high-speed railways. Because of the huge amount of kinetic energy carried at high speeds, a train may interact significantly with the bridge and even resonate with it under certain circumstances. Equally important is the riding comfort of the train cars, which relates closely to the maneuverability of the train during its passage over the bridge at high speeds.This book is unique in that it is devoted entirely to the interaction between the supporting bridges and moving trains, the so-called vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI). Finite element procedures have been developed to treat interaction problems of various complexities, while the analytical solutions established for some typical problems are helpful for identifying the key parameters involved. Besides, some field tests were conducted to verify the theories established.This book provides an up-to-date coverage of research conducted on various aspects of the VBI problems. Using the series of VBI elements derived, the authors study a number of frontier problems, including the impact response of bridges with elastic bearings, the dynamic response of curved beam to moving centrifugal forces, the stability and derailment of trains moving over bridges shaken by earthquakes, the impact response of two trains crossing on a bridge, the steady-state response of trains moving over elevated bridges, and so on.

This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This design code for concrete structures is the result of a complete revision to the former Model Code 1978, which was produced jointly by CEB and FIP. The 1978 Model Code has had a considerable impact on the national design codes in many countries. In particular, it has been used extensively for the harmonisation of national design codes and as basic reference for Eurocode 2. The 1990 Model Code provides comprehensive guidance to the scientific and technical developments that have occurred over the past decade in the safety, analysis and design of concrete structures. It has already influenced the codification work that is being carried out both nationally and internationally and will continue so to do.
