Bridge Engineering

Lateral torsional buckling of Long Bridge Suspension Span: geometrically linear analysis under wind load
Now, many long-term suspension bridges were built and their lengths to keep growing. As a result, the beam stiffness is relatively small and the wind forces have also declined. Therefore, the analysis of many experiments were carried out Futter. On the other hand, so it is important to study the lateral torsional buckling of suspension bridges, but research has not been done for decades. Of course, just use Hirai-Okauchi proposed formulation about 60 to confirm the stability with the problem. It contains a theoretical equation and the boundary conditions ideal for the application of the formulation is limited. Therefore, the need for a modern revision of the discharge of the suspension bridge is increasing. A suspension bridge span of time shows a fairly linear and nonlinear, when it shows its initial state and wind loads are applied. Therefore, the needs of some techniques.

Bridge is presented as the structural modeling and initial conditions of gravity. After this is presented how to analyze the lateral buckling of the bridge span length of torque with wind load. The wind load is calculated by the static coefficient of the wind. Finally, the result is displayed and the conclusion is presented.

What is stress corrosion cracking of prestressing steel?
Corrosion cracking of metals is the crystal under tensile stresses in the presence of corrosive agents. The conditions for stress corrosion to occur is that the steel is subjected to tensile stresses caused by stress loading induced external or internal (eg tension). Moreover, the presence of corrosive agents are essential to cause stress corrosion. A key element of stress corrosion fractures is that the material without any damage observed from the outside. Therefore, stress corrosion occurs without any obvious warning signs.
In prestressing work, if more than one wire or strand is included in the same duct, why should all wires/strands be stressed at the same time?                                If the son / strands are stressed individually within the same channel so they

Beach said / son will focus on these dull them and trap them. Therefore, the friction is high and son trapped undesirable.

Why is scaling building necessary support work in the anchor blocks?
Prestressed anchor blocks of work generally consists of balancing pop reinforcement reinforcement, reinforcement and erosion. Reinforcement of rupture is used when the tensile forces are induced during the operation of the preload and the maximum pressure occurs when the trajectories of the breakdown voltage are concave towards the line of action of the load. The reinforcement is needed to resist these lateral tensile forces. For the reinforcement of balance is necessary when there are several anchorages of prestressing loads are applied sequentially.

During the pre-load, the stresses generated in the chipping area behind the loading of the faces of the anchor blocks. In the area between two anchors, a volume surrounded by concrete compressive stress trajectories. The forces are induced in the opposite direction to the applied forces and forces the output of the concrete anchor. On the other hand, limitations of scale are in place thanks to the compatibility restriction on the effect of Poisson's ratio.

What are the three main types of reinforcement used in the preload?                                                                                                                    (I) strengthening Chipping

Peeling stresses are established behind the congested area of ​​anchor blocks and this leads to break with the concrete surface. These charges caused by the incompatibility of the effects of stress with fish, or form channels of stress.

(ii) Equilibrium reinforcement
Equilibrium reinforcement is required where there are several anchorages in which prestressing loads are applied sequentially.
(iii) Bursting Reinforcement
Tensile stresses are induced during prestressing operation and the maximum bursting stress occurs where the stress trajectories are concave towards the line of action of the load. Reinforcement is needed to resist these lateral tensile forces.
When should engineers use jacking at one end, and only at both ends of the prestressing work?
During the operation of preload on one end, frictional losses will occur and the prestressing force along the tendon decreases until it reaches the other end. These losses include the friction induced by the friction due to a change of curvature of the tendon sheath, and the wobbling effect due to misalignment of the axes drivers. Therefore, the prestressing force in the middle range or at the other end will be greatly reduced in the case of loss of friction is high. Therefore, the preload, the two ends of a single tranche, ie through the tendon prestressing total at one end and the other half at the other extreme is to allow a homogeneous distribution and to provide symmetry of the prestressing force along the structure.

Indeed, said only one end has the potential advantage of lower costs compared to the stress on both ends. For more spans (for example, two pins) with the length of the span jacking odd is usually carried out at the end of a longer period for giving a higher preload force at the point of maximum positive moment. On the contrary, jacking from the end of the shorter performed if the negative stage, intermediate supports control the prestressing force. But if the total length of the span is long enough, jacking from both ends into account.

What are the reactive forces of prestressing?                  Statically determined structures, the prestressing forces would cause the concrete structures, deflected upward. So precambering are mostly opposed to this end and make it look nice. However, statically indeterminate structures, the deformations of reinforced concrete structures to support and contain the forces of parasitic diseases have been developed for prestressing force, as well as the bending moment produced by the eccentricity of the tendons. Developed to support the forces of reaction to modify the concrete structures subject to external loads and moments to produce a second (or parasitic moments) structure.
How does the vortex-induced vibration on the stability of bridges along?                                                                                   When the wind flows around a bridge, would be useless in contact with the surface and shape of the boundary layer. At one point, the boundary layer tends to separate from the body due to excessive curvature of the bridge. This leads to the formation of vortices which revised the pressure distribution on the surface of the bridge. The vortex can not be formed symmetrically in the body of bridges and different lifting forces are formed around the body. Accordingly, the motion of bodies under this bridge cross the vortex must be incoming wind flow. As the frequency of vortices approaches the natural frequency of bridges, resonant vibrations often occur, whose magnitude depends on the damping in the system and the movement of wind on bridges. These oscillations are "locked in" the system and lead to dangerous amplification failure and fatigue.
