Abstract:

An investigation of local scour at pier groups has been conducted with the aim of developing design recommendations and scour depth prediction equations for the bridge pier groups. A comprehensive series of steady uniform flow experiments was performed on groups of 2, 3, 4, and 6 model piers. All tests were conducted under clear-water scour conditions. Parameters governing local scour depth around bridge piers include: flow characteristics, sediment properties, and pier size and shape. The effects of these parameters on the maximum local scour depth for a single pier (D$\sb{\rm s}$), have been

Abstract:

Bridge piers within moving water are exposed to an additional failure mechanism known as scour. Upon the scour depth reaching the foundation of the pier, the structural integrity of the pier, and consequently the bridge, can be jeopardized. Bridge pier scour is the result of a three-dimensional flow separation consisting primarily of the horseshoe vortex, flow acceleration along the sides of the pier, and wake vortices. There are numerous factors that can affect bridge pier scour, of which many of them have been studied extensively. However, there are still some factors where the knowledge bas

Abstract:

Foundations of river bridges need to be protected with respect to excessive scouring. Degree of protection depends on the severity of scouring action around bridge piers and abutments. A case study is carried out to design appropriate protective measures for sequential viaducts located on Ankara-Pozant highway in Turkey. A number of analyses are conducted to obtain water surface profiles throughout the study reach. Local scour depths at piers and abutments of the viaducts are then obtained. The design process for countermeasures is performed concerning hydraulic, hydrologic, constructional, an

Abstract:

Bridge design and construction practice in former USSR, especially Russia, is not much known to the foreign engineers. Many advanced structural theories and construction practices have been established. In 1931, Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “There can be little doubt that in many ways the story of bridge building is the story of civilization. By it, we can readily measure a progress in each particular country.” The development of bridge engineering is based on previous experiences and historical aspects. Certainly, the Russian experience in bridge engineering has its own specifics. Bridge desig

Abstract:

Scour at bridge piers is considered as a significant safety hazard. Hence, scour countermeasure design plays a critical role to hinder the scour potential at bridges. The selection methodology for a scour countermeasure varies with respect to site conditions, economy, availability of material and river characteristics. The aim of this study is to review the literature on this topic to gather universally accepted design guidelines. A user-friendly computer program is developed for decision-making in various sequential steps of countermeasure design against scouring of bridge piers. Therefore, t

Le calcul des constructions vis-à-vis du séisme en prenant en compte la réponse élastique linéaire conduit le plus souvent à des dimensionnements qui ne vont pas dans le sens de l'économie. Afin de permettre à l'ingénieur de tenir compte des différentes non linéarités, la plupart des règlements modernes (règles françaises PS92, règles européennes EC8, etc. ) ont préconisé de réduire les forces issues d'un calcul élastique linéaire par un coefficient appelé : coefficient de comportement.

Abstract:

The influence of the recommended LRFD Guidelines for the seismic design of highway bridges in Virginia was investigated by analyzing two existing bridges. The first bridge has prestressed concrete girders and is located in the Richmond area. The second bridge has steel girders and is located in the Bristol area. The analysis procedure for both bridges is similar. First the material and section properties were calculated. Then the bridge was modeled in RISA 3D. Live and dead load were imposed on the bridge to calculate the cracked section properties of the bridge. The period of vibration of the

Abstract:

Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) procedures are advanced and then applied to a quantitative risk assessment for bridge structures. This is achieved by combining IDA with site-dependent hazard-recurrence relations and damage outcomes. The IDA procedure is also developed as a way to select a critical earthquake motion record for a one-off destructive experiment. Three prototype bridge substructures are designed according to the loading and detailing requirements of New Zealand, Japan and Caltrans codes. From these designs 30 percent reduced scale specimens are constructed as part of an

My question here revolves around my orientation with my own work; my own frustrations and inability to so often answer the question “can a meaningful place be designed?” This journey examines the theory of semiotics. Through this, three strategies have been developed to explore the branches of semiotic research in Landscape Architecture. The first strategy allows meaning to develop through time, and it is with the repeated usage of people that meaning will accrue. The second strategy shows how meaning can be determined before the design through mapping current and desired locations of meaning
