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.
Thank you all for your responses.
I am trying to evaluate the impact force developed in pier due to collision between two decks rested on that pier. The pounding force between two bridge deck due to earthquake depends upon the stiffness offered by exapnsion joint and the gap in between them.
I...
Thank you for your response Mike_311 and SlideRuleEra.
@Mike_311 I am doing research on the pounding effect of Simply supported bridge. For this, I am trying to define the stiffness offered by an expansion joint.
@SlideRuleEra Yes my question is related to that neoprene preformed compression...
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
