ELEVATED STRUCTURES - CONTINUOUS BEAMS

The report addresses the problem of elevated guideway structures employing continuous span beams and spread footing. Various structural materials and components are considered. On the basis of static analysis, practical information about the design requirements was generated. Results are displayed in convenient graphical form for span length up to 160 feet and maximum deflection up to .16 foot. (Author)
