A new type of finite element model, called the double mesh model is proposed in this thesis. With the level of free expansion as the input, the model is able to simulate the restrained ASR expansion by taking into account the effects of physical restraints. The retrained ASR expa ...
Bridges with different geometrical configurations have been searched with linear finite element analysis. The aim is to find the position and value of critical proof load. Four different parameters, namely span length, width, skewness and thickness ratio, their influence on proof ...
