Grillage Analogy in Bridge Deck Analysis in sap 2000

[Nepalengineer]

Please help me in modeling a T-beam bridge in Sap using Grillage analogy.

Just simply refer to Hambly book (bridge deck behavior) and you should be fine

Peace

Can you please post some works in this field so that it will help in modeling
I am looking for some real work in SAP 2000

Well here in Australia we use SPACEGASS for grillage analysis, not sure about SAP2K.

Listen, in the book I mentioned it has details of modeling for bridge superstructure and substructure, the concept it there but implementation could be in SAP2K or other software.
I'll update you if I find anything related to SAP2K

Cheers

Mohandes,

I'm interested in looking at some grillage using spacegass.

Would you mind sending me a PM of your email address?

Thanks!

Structuresolver,

Since our projects are government contract, I'm not able to dispose the grillage model. However, I can give you the guideline for grillage analysis using SG based on TMR (Transport and Main Roads) specification. Check out the Annexures 01 to 04 in the following link:
