Performance of Integral Bridge by Addition of Cross Girders
Abstract: The bridges without expansion joints are Integral Abutment bridges (IAB’s). In conventional bridges, the bearings are generally corroded due to water seepage through joints which are avoided in IAB’s. However there will be stresses developed due to thermal induced movements of the bridge which is to be taken into account. In this paper, finite element analysis is carried out using STAAD ProV8i on a typical model of IAB. Here various …

Thermo-mechanical Analysis of Orthotropic plate under Sinusoidally Distributed Thermal load by using Trigonometric shear Deformation Theory (TSDT)
Abstract: For the thermal analysis of simply supported square and rectangular plates applied to sinusoidaldistributed linear thermal load throughout the plate thickness and in combination with sinusoidaldistributed transverse mechanical loading, a trigonometric shear deformation theory is proposed. Inthis work, a sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinates is being used in the displacement fieldin conjunction with the transverse shear deformation effect. The normal and shear stress can bedetermined by using the …

Thermal Response of Thick Beam Subjected to Thermo-mechanical Loads by Using HyperbolicShear Deformation Theory
Abstract: In this paper, a hyperbolic shear deformation theory (HPSDT) taking into account transverse shear deformation effect is presented for thermo-mechanical stress analysis of thick isotropic beam subjected to thermo-mechanical. The displacement field contains two variables. The hyperbolic sine and cosine function is used in the displacement field in terms of thickness Co-ordinate to represent the effect of shear deformation. The most important feature of the theory is that, the transverse …

Codal Validation and Optimization of Gantry Girders Under Variable Wheelbase and Impact Loads: A Review of Analytical, Numerical, and Codal Approaches
Abstract: Gantry girders serve as critical structural elements in industrial facilities such as steel plants, workshops, and heavy manufacturing units, where electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes operate. The design of these girders is governed by stringent codal provisions to ensure safety under bending, shear, and deflection. However, discrepancies between codal predictions, analytical formulations, and finite element analysis (FEA) results, particularly under variable wheelbase and dynamic impact loads, have been widely reported. …

Cubic B-splines for Isogeometric Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates Subjected to Hygroscopic Loading Using Classical Laminated Plate Theory
Abstract: Composite laminates are inevitably used in several engineering structures due to their high strength and stiffness to weight ratio. The laminates are subjected to change in moisture content and the flexural behavior leads to change in the strength. Presence of moisutre may induce residual stresses and strains. Isogeometric analysis is a well-proven method to perform analysis of laminated composite plates. The main focus of this study is to apply isogeometric …

Experimental and Numerical Assessment of Flexural Shear Behavior of RC Beams Enhanced using Hybrid CFRP–GFRP U-Wrap System
Abstract: This study examines the Reinforced Concrete beams strengthened in Flexural-shear using a hybrid Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) system that combines carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) in a U-wrap configuration. Six beams totally were made and the results were tested under 4 point bending moment using LVDT, in which three beams were of control beams without strengthening and another three externally wrapped using hybrid CFRP-GFRP …
