  A Review Report on Metal Expansion Bellows

  By Parixit Narshana, Jayesh Gohel, Parth Patel, Harikrushna Dobariya

  Abstract: A bellows expansion joint is an assembly of two or more bellows, which helps to tackle expansion or contraction in the system where it is designed to fit in. In the field of expansion joints, very limited literature is available. It was found that various independent researchers did lot of research in the design and geometry of bellows expansion joint but a review of all is rare. All authors have …

  Performance of Integral Bridge by Addition of Cross Girders

  By R. Shreedhar, Dr. Vinod Hosur, Iftikar Chappu

  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 …
