Dynamic load test and lateral load distribution of a modified rigid frame bridge

Load Test and Model Calibration of a Horizontally Curved Steel Box-Girder Bridge

In this paper, full scale load test of a horizontally curved steel box-girder bridge is carried out in order to detect structural defects, which reportedly result in unwanted vibrations in nearby buildings. The bridge is tested under the passage of six heavy vehicles at different speeds, so as to determine its static and dynamic responses. A total number of one hundred and two (102) sensors are...

Implementing Dynamic Load Distribution

This paper proposes and evaluates various dynamic load distribution strategies for CORBA applications. A general application model for CORBA applications based on the Ex-porter/Importer/Trader model is introduced. For this model, techniques for the integration of load distribution strategies are shown. To evaluate the performance of the proposed strategies, a generic test system using IONA's Or...

Scalable Load Distribution and Load Balancing for Dynamic Parallel Programs

This paper reports design and preliminary evaluation of an integrated load distribution-load balancing algorithm which was targeted to be both efficient and scalable for dynamically structured computations. The computation is represented as a dynamic hierarchical dependence graph. Each node of the graph may be a subgraph or a computation and the number of instances of each node is dynamically d...

Economic - Based Dynamic Load Distribution

We have designed and implemented a scalable hierarchical system for dynamic load distribution of general divide&conquer applications on large heterogeneous networks of workstations, called Dynasty. Besides its practical goal of exploiting idle processor time we focus the design on eeciency, fairness, reusability, and universality. Our approach is based on economical principles with prices as th...
