Empirical analysis of backwater level due to skewed bridge constriction

Moving Load Analysis on Skewed Railway Bridge

Recent developments in the field of high speed rail have heightened the need for improving of railway bridges under the passage of high speed trains. However, little attention has been paid to influence of significant parameters playing a key role in dynamic behavior of such bridges. This paper seeks to fill such a gap by carrying out finite element (FE) analysis on an existing railway bridge. ...

Evaluation of the Extent of Backwater Effects of Bridge Piers

Introduction... The construction or renovation of bridges may require placement of bridge piers in the channel or floodplain of natural waterways. These piers will obstruct the flow and cause an increase in water levels upstream of the bridge for subcritical flows. The increase in the water level is called the backwater. The amount of backwater caused by piers depends mainly on their geometric ...

Bridge Bed Strengthening, Disaster Prevention due to Scouring

One of the most important factors in determining the depth of foundations in structures adjacent to the water flow is the scouring phenomenon; the scouring is a phenomenon caused by the interactions between water flow and erodible bed materials, which causes the removal of sediments where hydraulic structures are located, including bridge piers. Every year, a great number of bridges are damaged...

Errors Due to Wheatstone Bridge Nonlinearity

Com mercial stat ic strain indicators and signal conditioners vary considerably in their circuit details; and, although most of them are based upon some form of the Wheatstone bridge circuit, the bridge circuit is employed in differing ways in different instruments. Because of the many variations in instrument design, a completely general treatment of instrument nonlinearities is not practicabl...
