Hi
I'm designing some bridge piers (to Eurocodes) which are to be elliptical in section and am having difficulty finding a reference or design guide as to the best way to assess them. Has anyone undertaken a design of this nature before and would have any suggestions? The piers are subject to...
Hi
I'm modelling a precast, pre-stressed bridge which consists of symmetric internal Y beams and asymmetric edge beams. My edge beams experience a horizontal deflection (as well as the expected vertical deflection) due to the pre-stressing loads. This is due to the eccentricity of my tendon...
Hi
I'm modelling the abutments of an integrated concrete bridge in Midas Civil which are sloped at approximately 2 degrees. When I apply earth pressure behind the abutments the reference level that the user selects is assumed to be flat/horizontal. As a result if I were to choose the higher end...
Hi all
I am looking for the appropriate transverse force to use for the design of a bridge deck which supports a H2 class vehicle restraint system. IS EN 1991-2 recommends classes A through D and provides horizontal forces but does not relate them to specific restraint systems (N1/2, H2, H4...
