For my master thesis I am working on a bridge with an initial prestressing force. So these prestress cables are connected with the concrete.
I have learned that this kind of prestress system cannot buckle. So I researched why. Probably a very basic thing.
But I couldn't find in any study book...
Dynamic calculations are overall very complicated. They are most of the times non linear.
But it depends on what you want to do. Modal analysis of the natural frequency is easier.
Well first of all: thanks for sharing the information.
I've looked into the Setra. The French seem to leave the joggers out of consideration.
That's too easy for me. ;)
But now about my progress for my report:
I now use RFEM (student license) to do non-linear dynamic calculations. I can insert...
Lately I've been working (for my study) on a footbridge.
I wonder if there's good open source software available to do dynamic calculations of joggers on footbridges.
I've tried Code-Aster. But didn't get it to work on my laptop under the windows environment. It seems to be a little complex for...
