Testing methods are required for estimating prestress losses in Prestressed Concrete (PC) girder-bridges. They mainly include destructive approaches which cause significant damages. Conversely, dynamic nondestructive unsuitable. Given these findings, a novel method identifying residual force simply supported PC girder-bridges was implemented. Following the vertical load application three-point ...

In this article, we present an optimization model which incorporates uncertainty induced by geometrical imperfections. Within the model, geometrical imperfections are represented by means of random fields. The induced uncertainties are then treated using the concept of a convex model. The resultant problem is then solved in a two-stage optimization procedure. An arched girder is used to demonst...

In order to find the relationship between deflected pre-stressed tendons and diagonal cracks of webs and provide basis to design and construction of bridges, a characteristics section model of a long span pre-stressed concrete continuous box girder, which is now under construction in Chongqing is analyzed by using nonlinear finite element program Midas-FEA. A numerical simulation analysis to th...

The objective of this research is to investigate the advantages of using large-diameter 0.7 inch prestressing strands in pretention applications. The advantages of large-diameter strands are mainly beneficial in the heavy construction applications. Bridges and tunnels are subjected to a higher daily traffic with an exponential increase in trucks ultimate weight, which raise the demand for highe...

Pertama dilakukan pengumpulan data baik primer maupun sekunder, kemudian analisis rencana Pada masing kebutuhan material alat, waktu, biaya mutu pekerjaan. Selanjutnya hasil dari tersebut ...

Taking a prestressed concrete box girder as the research object, aiming at problem that bridge durability is reduced due to appearance of temperature cracks in girder, this paper adopted different types heat insulation materials, and theoretically analyzed structural field under high difference low environment from aspects whether source was set inside which provides reference for technical app...

On the basis of the polyclonal selection algorithm, an improved polyclonal selection algorithm based on negative selection is put forward in this paper. Inspired by the diversity and auto-tolerance of the negative selection, the population diversity is increased by the clone deletion and clone supply to improve the polyclonal selection algorithm. Finally, the optimization design of the crane bo...

Panjang main span termasuk kedua jalanlayang pendekat adalah 300 m, semen...

As part of the vibration budget study for the NLC Main Linac components, the vibration sources in the NLC modules (Girder) are under investigation. The activity is focused on the effect of cooling water flow on the structures (FXB type) stability, the transmission of vibrations to the adjacent components, and the effect of different materials of construction used for the supports. Experimental ...
