GRID ANALYSIS OF ORTHOTROPIC BRIDGES

THE RELATION BETWEEN DEFORMATIONS AND INTERNAL GRID FORCES; BENDING, TORSION (ST.VENANT AND WARPING), SHEAR, AND APPLIED EXTERNAL FORCES IS OBTAINED BY AN EQUIVALENT ORTHOTROPIC PLATE TECHNIQUE. THE RESULTING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS ARE THEN SOLVED BY FINITE DIFFERENCES AND VARIOUS COMPUTER PROGRAMS, AS APPLIED TO A BRIDGE STRUCTURE. THE RESULTS OF A HYPOTHETICAL BRIDGE ANALYSIS ARE PRESENTED. /AUTHOR/
