The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) initiated the California Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program to determine the vulnerability of California’s major toll bridges to damage associated with strong earthquakes and to design retrofits to improve seismic safety. ADINA was selected...
In response to customers’ requirements, ADINA supports the Bergström-Boyce and Three-Network viscoelastic material models....
An earthquake can cause a dam to crack or dislocate, or even cause its component blocks to detach. The damage can result in uncontrolled water release or a catastrophic flood. Numerical methods such as finite element analysis play an important...
ADINA is used worldwide for complex analyses. The Southwest Jiaotong University conducted an analysis under contract to study the structural integrity of the roof of a large railway station at Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, in China....
Understanding the meaning and usage of secondary moments is key in designing post-tensioned concrete, and many engineers follow a traditional approach which can result in code-compliant and safe designs....
This content delves into the fascinating subject of pulsating moving loads on bridges, flyovers, and similar structures. Also known as dynamic moving loads, these forces are generated by the periodic vertical force of moving vehicle wheels, caused by an unbalanced...
