A Discrete-Element Method of Multiple-Loading Analysis for Two-Way Bridge Floor Slabs

摘要

A procedure is developed for the analysis of two-way floor slabs subjected to different concentrated load patterns and continuous over many supports. A discrete-element model representing the slab was formed. Based on formulations derived from this model, a computer program was developed. A two-way slab structure planned by the Texas Highway Department was chosen for demonstration of results obtained utilizing the subject procedure. (BPR Abstract)
