Validation of the deck behaviour due to post-tension loading of Ashton arch bridge
The new Ashton Bridge is a concrete tied-arch structure with a cable-supported deck, which spans 110 metres below the arching ribs. The tie-beam members, connecting the arch ribs, each have six longitudinal tendons that have primarily straight profiles. The author set out to validate the structural …

Dynamic analysis of Calatrava's la Devesa footbridge
… the static and dynamic behaviors of the leaning arch bridge system. In doing so, the finite element method is employed intensively through the use of ADINA. The FEM model is an attempted reproduction of Calatrava's la Devesa footbridge. While Calatrava has developed the form through several …

Seismic Behavior of Pile -Supported Bridges
… for seismic analysis of an existing truss-arch bridge spanning across the Mississippi River in southern Illinois (the Cairo Bridge). The nonlinear time-history analysis is performed using input motions obtained from ground response analysis of bedrock motions artificially generated for the …

Java Applets for Analysis of Trusses, Beams and Frames
… and frame determinacy applets; a three-hinged arch bridge applet; determinate and indeterminate truss analysis applets; determinate and indeterminate frame analysis applets and an influence line analysis applet. These programs are available to any student or instructor with Internet access. The …

Feasibility study of Leonardo da Vinci's bridge proposal over the Golden Horn in Istanbul
… thesis investigates the feasibility of a masonry arch bridge proposed by Leonardo da Vinci (1452 -1519). Leonardo wrote a proposal in 1502-1503 for a masonry bridge spanning over the Golden Horn in present-day Istanbul, Turkey. The design was a response to an invitation by the Sultan Bayezid II …

Multi-Objective optimization of arch bridges
Trussed arch bridges are commonly used to attain big spans. They are efficient structures that offer a wide range of geometries, materials, and topologies. This thesis studies the influence of the geometry and topology of arch bridges on both their structural performance relayed by the maximum …

Finite Element Analysis of a Pair of Leaning Pressurized Arch-Shells Under Snow and Wind Loads
A structure comprised of two arches that lean against each other at the apex is considered. The arches are thin shells with internal pressure. This type of structure with solid arches has been used in bridges, such as the Gateway Arch Bridge in Columbus, Indiana, U.S.A., the Monongahela River …

Instrumentation and Dynamic Characterization of the Galena Creek Bridge
The Galena Creek Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that was completed in 2012 as part of the I-580 freeway in Northern Nevada. The research in this report covers the instrumentation and in-field experiments conducted to characterize the dynamic properties of the structure in its baseline condition.A …

Semplified seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Masonry Arch Bridges
… seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry arch bridges with common typologies in Europe. Bridges are, in most cases, the most vulnerable elements in the transportation network during an earthquake; therefore, their seismic vulnerability assessment is necessary for a proper planning of the …

Arch bridges: Design - Construction - Perception
The arch bridges have an historical development, that is rooted in their ancient tradition, yet are also very successful to this day, a rediscovery of the earliest arched forms can be seen in the most recent innovations. After millennia of masonry arch bridges and almost two centuries of relentless …

Behaviour and analysis of a flexible concrete arch
… early 20,h century led to a decline in masonry arch bridge building. Traditional masonry arch construction is time consuming and involves considerable formwork usually in the form of timber centring, as well as traditional skills. It is also limited by the spans at which the design is efficient. …
