Reports Outline Ocean Engineering Study Findings from C. Bradner and Colleagues

摘要

2011 FEB 16 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "To gain a better understanding of the wavernforces that led to the failure of numerous causeway-type coastal highway bridges along the U. S.rnGulf coast, a series of experiments was conducted on a realistic, 1:5 scale reinforced concreternbridge superstructure. The experimental setup is unique compared to other wave-in-deck studiesrnin that the stiffness of the horizontal support system can be varied to represent different dynamicrnproperties of the bridge system," scientists in the United States report.
