Structural Analysis of a Three Span Continuous PC Voided Slab Deck by Three Dimensional Finite Element Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structural system of prestressed concrete (PC) voided slab deck is intermediate between plate and girder. Therefore, the conventional design method is based on the assumption that the system is similar to the plate system or to the grid system. In this paper, the structural behavior of a continuous PC voided slab deck with three spans was analyzed by using the three dimensional solid finite element method (FEM). The analytical results were compared with those obtained from the conventional beam, plate and grid theories. In addition, the effect of parameters on the stress at the intermediate support was discussed; and the suitability of negative bending moment reduction at the intermediate support described in the specification for continuous roadway bridges was investigated.

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 the design and three dimensions (3D) simulation of a photonic crystal (PC) pressure sensor is presented. The device is based on a 2D PC slab of PbMoO4. The simulations are based on finite element method (FEM) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and are done using CST STUDIO SUITE software. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor is calculated by considering the deformat...

Slab method of analysis has been used for solving metal forming problems for a long time. However it has been restricted to plane strain and axisymmetric problems due to limitations in its formulations. In this paper a new formulation has been proposed so that it could be applied to three dimensional problems in metal forming. A parametric slab has been considered in this analysis and the force...

This paper describes the behaviour of two full-scale models of a portion of highway bridge slab reinforced with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement. The first slab was reinforced totally with carbon FRP (CFRP), and the second slab was reinforced with hybrid glass FRP (GFRP) and steel reinforcement. The models were tested under static loading up to failure using a concentrated load acti...
