The Computer Analysis of Orthotropic Steel Plate Superstructures for Highway Bridges. Volume III. Program Description Type II Bridge

摘要

The volume describes a complete set of computer programs, together with the input-output format, for structural design of a highway bridge superstructure using orthotropic steel plate decks. This volume is applicable to Type II bridge, an orthotropic plate deck on twin box girder. The deck span consists of closed ribs, floor beams, and plates. The programs are written specifically for IBM 1620 computer system with 60 k memory locations. There are twelve phases in the volume. They should be executed consecutively. Programs for Phase I through X inclusive are written in Fortran II while programs for Phase XI through XII are in SYMBOLIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. The maximum number of lanes of the bridge considered in this volume is four, although little effort is required to increase the number of lanes. (Author)
