When we design a concrete pilecap there are two approaches: Consider it as grillage of beam or deep beam or consider as a strut model. But regardless of the method, we provide the reinforcement as uniformly distributed along the whole length/breadth of the pile cap.
My question is: Can we...
I posted this matter in another forum Computers and Structures: SAP2000. Until now cant get any response so i am posting here again.
Traditionally the lateral load distribution on bridge deck girders are done by different semi imperical methods mainly based on lever theory. By such methods most...
While analysing for monolithic RCC slab-on-girders bridges by SAP2000, I got some strange results. For simplicity Lets take an example as follows:
Bridge span = 25 m
Number of longitudinal girders = 3
Number of cross girders (diaphragms) = 6 including end diaphragms
Spacing of logitudinals =...
