This
book deals with the well established computer-aided method of grillage
analogy as applied to analysis of bridge decks. The method, applicable
to various types of bridge decks (such as slab bridges, T-beam bridges
and box-girder bridges), can handle rigid or flexible support
conditions, and right, skew or curved plan layouts.The procedure and
recommendations for idealising the actual bridge decks and loadings into
mathematical models are discussed. Two programs, given in ready-to-use
form, along with descriptions of various subroutines, can analyse a
variety of bridge decks accurately and obtain all the responses required
in the design. Their uses are explained through worked-out examples.
These programs, along with input-data and exhaustive output results of
all the worked-out examples, are also available on a diskette and can be
ordered seperately from the authors through the publisher. This will
help those who do not want to type programs from the book and run into
possible risk of errors.The book will be useful for the students,
researchers, teachers, designers and consultants engaged in analysing,
designing, vetting, tendering or constructing bridges.
