It seems obvious that in addition to spacing requirements for supporting steel columns below beams (typically a steel column is placed every eight feet on center in a wood frame two story residential structure), you would also place the column below any splices in the beam. But a splice in ...
However, the impact-resistant performance objectives are still lacked for building/bridge structures from the existing studies and regulations, resulting in that a number of structural members are easily destroyed under the Conclusions Bridge failure due to vehicle collision could lead to a detrimental...
Such structures, which are in particular present in multi-span bridges, comprise piers which bear on foundations in the ground and are used to support bridge elements such as a deck over which vehicles and/or pedestrians may pass. Over time, such structures tend to degrade, for instance under...
which forms are later removed once the concrete has cured. This is generally a relatively long and drawn out process, as it is necessary initially to construct forms for the pier foundations, then wait for the concrete to
An outline of the model for analysis is shown in Figure 14. The open channel and the scale model of the experiment are divided by an orthogonal grid with a grid point spacing of 5 mm. Analysis cases are shown in Table 2. The density of water is defined as 1000 kg/m3, the kinematic...
The bridge, designed for a speed of 80 km/h, featured two lanes in each direction and a superstructure made of variable section prestressed concrete box girders. The bridge had two side piers with double bearings and two mid piers with single bearings. The bridge deck was 9.5 m wide, with...
One-inch wide stainless steel bands are also wrapped around the pipe at one-foot spacing and are tightened enough to prevent any elongation during placing of concrete into the pipe. Figure 1b shows typical H-piles after encasement. Hydrology 2019, 6, x FOR PEER REVIEW HHyyddrroollooggyy...
The energy method should be used in case the bridge deck is a small obstruction to the flow and the bridge opening is not behaving as a pressurized orifice. The pressure and weir method could be an appropriate choice when the bridge deck and the road embankment create a significant obstruction...
