The chapter presents the analysis model of girder-rail interaction, based on the interaction theory of girder rail and the infinite element analysis method.
A mathematical model of the girder was created for the purpose of defining the stress strain state of local character.
This paper presents a geometric modeling of box girder deck to automate deck design representations.
The modification consists in the introduction of shell elements modelling gusset plates into a beam-element model of a truss girder.
A scale model of the previous girder is shown in Fig. 2. Figure 3 shows two girders with two different solutions using S&T models (considering and not considering TTT nodes, type A and B specimens respectively), both girders have the geometry shown in Fig. 2.
In order to establish a proper finite element model of prototype RC girder with sand element for impact response analysis, dynamic response analysis of RC girders with sand cushion subjected to impact force due to weight falling from the height of H = 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 m was performed to improve the state of the art of protective design for real scale rock-sheds by using LS-DYNA code.
A reduced scale model of the truss girder component of a thirty meters span bridge has been tested in laboratory.
In the current study, a three - dimensional finite element (FE) model of the SCCB girder is developed and analyzed using ABAQUS software.
The constitutive model of the steel girder is specified by a trilinear stress strain relationship incorporating the strain hardening effect while the concrete slab based on the parabola-rectangle model.
The aim of this research is to investigate the potential of an alternative FE model of a pretensioned girder based on strand to concrete frictional behaviour, rather than the commonly used models based on an assumed shear stress distribution along the transfer length.
Section models of box girders for a proposed and an existing cable-stayed bridges were tested in smooth flow.
