Hello, i am an new bridge design engineer. usually we design the welded wide flange in bridge truss and girder member as 100% capacity, and let the fabricator gave the member weld. Lately another fabricator asked about how it should be welded?
And i was said that should be CJP [Complete Joint...
Is there any books for discussing the cable element?
Is there any recommended validation for cable element? NAFEMS??
Is there any good examples for modeling cables like sagging, how many mesh, and vibration modes?
I am curious to the cable element, since likely every FEA has own variables on...
Dear friends.
I have checked some beam that needed for the truss structure.
The structure needs the height of the beam 450mm.
Since the truss wide enough, the beam is laying down, means the the minor axis is perpendicular to gravity axis.
I've read the AISC LRFD 1999 and AISC LRFD 2005. I...
Hi, i am designing a truss bridge. Is it possible to use fabricated steel section like I girder with 450mm deep [gross], 550mm width flange, 35mm thick web and 40mm thick flange?
I know the boundary in AASHTO/AISC for limiting the minimum width of flange and thickness of flange and web due...
Hi, i am new here. I am designing deep pile foundation for building and bridge.
1. What allowable bearing capacity of deep pile is you more trust?
a. based on Empirical Safety Factors methods :alpha methods Excel AASHTO , or Meyerhoff N-SPT excel, SPT97 / FB-DEEP N-SPT Allowable axial with...
