Analytical Study on a Longitudinal Joints of the Slab-Type Modular Bridges
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, a longitudinal joint connection was proposed for the short-span slab-type modular bridges with rapid construction. The slab-type modular bridge consists of a number of precast slab modules and has the joint connection between the modules in the longitudinal direction of the bridge. A finite element based parameter analysis was conducted to design the shape and the dimensions of the longitudinal joint connection. Numbers of shear keys within the joint, height and depth of the shear key, tooth angle, and the spacing were considered as the design parameters. Using the local cracking load at the corner of the shear key and the cross-sectional area of the joint, an efficiency factor was proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of the longitudinal joint connection. The dimensions of shear key were determined by comparing the cracking loads and the efficiency factors obtained from the finite element analysis.

Effect of Link Slab on Seismic Response of Two Span Straight and Skew Bridges
Highway bridges are frequently constructed as simple span structures with steel or concrete girders and a cast-in-place concrete deck, spanning from one pier to another. At each end of the simple span deck, a joint is provided for deck movement due to temperature, shrinkage, and creep. Bridge deck joints are expensive and pose many problems with regard to bridge maintenance. Elimination of deck...

In this paper, an analytical method based on Modified Slab Method of analysis is presented to study the asymmetrical rolling process due to difference in work rolls radii, rolls speeds and interface frictions. The shear force imposed on material along the contact region is considered to be a function of the frictional factor and the roll gap geometry. Elastic-plastic with linear work hardening ...

Geomorphology is related to the shapes and processes of the earthchr('39')s surface, and any human activity, including planning, that changes the shape of the earth and can cause quantitative and qualitative changes in the movement and movement of materials and kinetic energy and affect the geomorphic system. The attention and involvement of geomorphologists are included. Geomorphology, as a s...
