I have calculated horizontal, vertical, and rotational stiffness for the Pile foundation at each layer. How to convert these soil spring constant to single equivalent spring constant (single rotational, vertical, and horizontal spring) for sway rocking type model. Thank you.
I have to model the expansion joint by using gap model, but for this, I need the stiffness property. How to determine the compression and tensile stiffness of Compression seal Expansion Joint? The manufacturer provides a tensile strength of the material. How to derive stiffness of that expansion...
How to determine the time period of Bridge according to IRC: SP: 114? I tried the same model mentioned in the code. But my result is very different from that. Could anyone please suggest me about that. Thank you
