Abstract
This paper presents research out on the
semi-continuum idealisation of simply supports beam and
slab bridge decks in order to calculate distribution
coefficients for the speedy determination of stress resultants
and displacements due to traffic loads on bridges as
specified in ECI. The paper builds on work already carried
out by the author which was the subject of a paper at the last
Computational Structures conference held in Greece in
1995. The semicontinuum method is explained in principle
and then applied to a simple bridge deck consisting of a
reinforced concrete slab on prestressed Y-beams.
The method is shown to be simple and reliable and presents bridge engineers with a simple, accurate and reliable means of analysis. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
