The document discusses the balanced cantilever method of bridge construction. It begins by explaining that this method is used for bridges with spans between 50-250m, and involves attaching precast or cast-in-place segments in an alternating manner from each end of cantilevers supported by piers. This method is well-suited for irregular spans, congested sites, and environmentally sensitive areas. It also discusses advantages like determinacy and reduced cracking risks. The document then goes into detail about construction sequences, member proportioning, superstructure types, and analysis of a specific balanced cantilever bridge in Kochi, India.
The balanced cantilever method is used to construct bridges with spans between 50-250m. It involves erecting segments on each side of the pier in a balanced sequence to minimize load imbalance and bending in the piers. This method is advantageous for long spans, marine environments, and where access under the deck is difficult. The cantilever lengths are typically 0.20-0.30 of the main span. Segment construction proceeds until the midspan point is reached, where the balanced pair is closed. The key advantages are single-sided support during construction and uniform construction. However, it is also very expensive and complicated to construct.
The document provides an overview of the history and engineering concepts related to bridge development and design. It discusses the basic types of bridges including beam, arch, suspension and cable-stayed bridges. It also covers concepts such as forces, loads, materials and shapes that affect bridge structure, and tips for building bridges including the importance of connections and structural stability.
This document discusses the design of compression members subjected to axial load and biaxial bending. It introduces the concept of biaxial eccentricities and explains that columns should be designed considering possible eccentricities in two axes. The document outlines the method suggested by IS 456-2000, which is based on Breslar's load contour approach. It relates the parameter αn to the ratio of Pu/Puz. Finally, it provides a step-by-step process for designing the column section, which involves determining uniaxial moment capacities, computing permissible moment values from charts, and revising the section if needed. It also briefly mentions the simplified method according to BS8110.
The document discusses the design of slender columns. It defines a slender column as having a slenderness ratio (length to least lateral dimension) greater than 12. Slender columns experience appreciable lateral deflection even under axial loads alone. The design of slender columns can be done using three methods - the strength reduction coefficient method, additional moment method, or moment magnification method. The document outlines the step-by-step procedure for designing a slender column using the additional moment method, which involves determining the effective length, initial moments, additional moments, total moments accounting for a reduction coefficient, and redesigning the column for combined axial load and bending.
Bridges provide passage over obstacles without blocking the way below. They carry traffic and loads over channels, roads, or railways. Bridges are classified based on their function, materials, form, position, construction method, and more. Common types include girder, truss, arch, cable-stayed, and suspension bridges, which vary in their typical spans and forces. Joints are often included to allow for movement from temperature changes and material shrinkage/expansion without compromising the bridge's integrity.
This document compares reinforced concrete (RC) flat slab and post-tensioned (PT) slab systems. It analyzes slabs of varying panel sizes from 9x9m to 12x12m under different loading conditions using software.

The document goes on to explain the basic principles, terminology, types, and methods of prestressing, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of prestressed concrete.
Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel strands or bars to place concrete in compression and improve its tensile strength. There are two main methods - pre-tensioning and post-tensioning. Pre-tensioning tensions the strands before the concrete is poured, while post-tensioning tensions strands inside ducts after the concrete has cured. This compression counteracts tensile and flexural stresses from loads to reduce cracking and increase strength, allowing pre-stressed concrete to be lighter and more durable than reinforced concrete. It is commonly used in bridges, buildings, tanks, and other structures.

As catastrophic bridge collapse accidents not only cause significant loss of property, but also have a severe social impact. Therefore, the structural health monitoring of bridges for damage detection by vibration analysis gets more attention. Reinforced concrete bridges are the most common and extended structures present in the worldwide. These structures are often characterized by Piers, Abutments, deck slabs. This paper looks on the work of modelling and analysis of bridge in STAAD.Pro software, and the specific bridge model is taken of a particular span. It is subjected to vary Young’s modulus (E) in the mid span of bridge deck slab to induce damage in order to obtain maximum bending moment, as the structural strength reduces. From the analysis Mu/bd2 values from SP 16 code is used to identify the damage on the bridge deck slab, then natural frequency of the bridge, mode shapes, variation of the deflection and node displacements of bridge deck slab under the action of static and dynamic load at different aspect ratios with original design parameters and at failure is carried out in this project.
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON CFDST COLUMN UNDER AXIAL LOADINGIRJET Journal
The document presents an experimental study on Circular-Filled Double-Skin Tubular (CFDST) columns under axial loading. CFDST columns with circular hollow section inner and outer tubes are tested to investigate their behavior and properties. The testing involves subjecting CFDST column specimens to axial compression loads using a Universal Testing Machine to determine load-carrying capacity, deformation patterns, and failure mechanisms. Results from the experimental testing are then validated using finite element analysis in ANSYS software. The study finds reasonable agreement between computational predictions and experimental results, providing validation of the computational models.
Comparative Study on Masonry Infill, Friction Dampers and Bare Frame Structur...IRJET Journal
The document compares the seismic response of a 10-story building modeled with three different configurations: a bare frame, a frame with masonry infill walls modeled as equivalent diagonal struts, and a frame with friction dampers. Non-linear time history analysis was performed using the EL Centro earthquake record. The addition of masonry infills increased the lateral stiffness and decreased displacements and column moments but also increased base shear and accelerations. The use of friction dampers effectively dissipated energy and reduced the structural response compared to the bare frame, without increasing other demands. Analysis results for story acceleration, displacement, column moment, and base shear are presented for each model.
Parametric Comparison of Rectangular and Trapezoidal Box Girder Bridge Deck S...IRJET Journal
This document compares the structural behavior and cost of rectangular and trapezoidal box girder bridge cross-sections. A finite element analysis was conducted on each section using MIDAS Civil 2016 software. The analysis found that the trapezoidal section had 7.6% more central deflection but lower shear forces compared to the rectangular section. A manual design of the transverse sections found that the trapezoidal section used 7% less concrete and 25% less steel, resulting in lower material costs. Therefore, the study concluded that the trapezoidal cross-section represents a more cost-effective option for the box girder bridge design.
IRJET-Parametric Study of Bridge Piers IRJET Journal
This document presents a parametric study of bridge piers conducted using the Midas Civil finite element analysis software. Various integral pier models were analyzed with different widths and thicknesses but a constant height of 10 meters. The study aims to understand the effects of changing pier width and thickness on displacement, stresses, concrete quantity, and steel quantity. Linear static analysis was performed and results were extracted for different pier cases. The findings show that total displacement and stresses increase with decreasing pier width. Concrete and steel quantities also vary with pier width and thickness.
A Study on Application of Passive Control Techniques to RC Bridges through No...IRJET Journal
This document discusses a study on applying passive control techniques like tuned mass dampers (TMDs) to reduce vibrations in reinforced concrete (RC) bridges through nonlinear dynamic analysis. 3D models of box girder bridges with different spans were analyzed with and without TMDs using SAP2000 software.

IRJET- Study of Static Analysis on Conventional and Oblique Prestressed C...IRJET Journal
This document presents a study comparing the static analysis of conventional and oblique prestressed concrete bridge superstructures. The study models and analyzes both types of bridge designs using CSi Bridge software. Conventional prestressing uses tendons running longitudinally along the girders, while oblique prestressing orients the tendons at a 45 degree angle to apply prestress transversely. The analysis found that oblique prestressing can eliminate the need for transverse joints and reduce slab thickness compared to conventional methods. Increasing the spacing of oblique tendons was also analyzed to study its effects.

Effect of stiffeners on the lateral stiffness of infill frames with openingseSAT Publishing House
This document presents research on the effect of stiffeners on the lateral stiffness of masonry infilled frames with openings. It first provides background on the structural contribution of masonry infills and challenges in modeling infill frames with openings. The study then analyzes infill frames with different types of stiffeners around openings, including lintel bands, using finite element analysis in ANSYS. Results show that providing stiffeners, especially thicker lintel bands, increases the lateral stiffness of frames with openings compared to unstiffened frames. Stiffness is found to decrease with larger opening sizes but can be greater than solid infill frames when stiffened. The research concludes that stiffeners effectively compensate for the reduced stiffness

The document discusses cracks in reinforced concrete bridge piers and abutments. It first provides background on the causes of cracking, including applied loads, restraint from volume changes, and drying shrinkage. It then presents a case study of a bridge exhibiting cracks in the abutments and approaches. The cracks are thought to be caused by movement of the abutments due to issues with surrounding soils. The document outlines various remedial measures that could address abutment movement and cracking, such as soil grouting, concrete jacketing, and epoxy injection. It concludes that abutment movement must be addressed to prevent further deterioration of the bridge structure.

The Seismic Behaviour of Semi continuous Bridges – A State of the Art Bridge ...AM Publications
There is an old saying that, ‘a chain is as weak as its weakest link’. Bearings and expansion joints are the weak links. Hence, interest in Semi-continuous bridges is increasing and their performance has gained international attention. Semi-continuous Bridges are Bridges where the deck is continuous and connected with monolithically with the piers with a moment resisting connection. As an effect we obtain a structure acting as one unit. One of the most important aspects of design, which can affect structure life and maintenance costs is the reduction or elimination of roadway expansion joints. Unfortunately, this is too often overlooked or avoided. Joints and bearings are expensive to buy, install, maintain and repair and more costly to replace. Many of our most costly maintenance problems originated with leaky joints. In the present report the behaviour of Semi-continuous bridges are studied. The loadings which are come across on the Semi-continuous bridges are discussed. And the comparison of Semi-continuous bridges of different spans are discussed by observing the results of maximum and minimum bending moment, shear force and longitudinal stress at top and bottom of bridge deck and deformed shapes and base shear , joint displacements, reactions from equivalent static and response spectrum methods are considered in different zones. In this report, it has been discussed about the performance of Semi-continuous Bridge under different types of loading including seismic loads and which is more suitable for seismic zones.

PEDESTRIAN DETECTION IN LOW RESOLUTION VIDEOS USING A MULTI-FRAME HOG-BASED D...AM Publications
Detecting pedestrians in low resolution videos is a challenging task, due to the small size of pedestrians in the images and the limited information. In practical outdoor surveillance scenarios the pedestrian size is usually small. Existing state-of-the-art pedestrian detection methods that use histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features have poor performance in this problem domain. To compensate for the lack of information in a single frame, we propose a novel detection method that recognizes pedestrians in a short sequence of frames. Namely, we take the single-frame HOG-based detector and extend it to multiple frames. Our detector is applied to regions containing potential moving objects. In the case of video taken from a moving camera on an aerial platform, video stabilization is first performed to register the frames. A classifier is then applied to features extracted from spatio-temporal volumes surrounding the potential moving objects. On challenging stationary and aerial video datasets, our detection accuracy outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms.

EFFECT OF SILICON - RUBBER (SR) SHEETS AS AN ALTERNATIVE FILTER ON HIGH AND L...AM Publications
A digital radiography delivers a radiation dose to patients; therefore it poses potential risk to the patients. One effort to reduce dose is carried out using a radiation filter, e.g. Silicone Rubber (SR) sheet. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of the SR sheet on the high contrast objects (HCO) and the low contrast objects (LCO). The dose reduction was determined from attenuation x-rays before and after using the SR sheet. Assessment of HCO and LCO was observed from CDR TOR phantom at tube voltage of 48 kVp and tube current of 8 mAs. The physical parameter to assess image quality was the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) value in LCO. The maximum x-ray attenuation using the SR sheet is 48.82%. The visibility of the HCO remains the same, namely 16 objects; however the LCO slighly decreases from 14 objects to 13 objects after using the SR sheet. The SNR value decreases with an average value of 15.17%.Therefore, the SR sheet as a alternative filter has no effect on the HCO and has realtively little effect on the LCO. Thus, the SR sheet potentially is used for radiation protection in patients, especially on examinations that do not require low contrast resolution.

ANALYSIS ON LOAD BALANCING ALGORITHMS IMPLEMENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIR...AM Publications
Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. The elements involved in cloud computing are clients, data center and distributed server. One of the main problems in cloud computing is load balancing. Balancing the load means to distribute the workload among several nodes evenly so that no single node will be overloaded. Load can be of any type that is it can be CPU load, memory capacity or network load. In this paper we presented an architecture of load balancing and algorithm which will further improve the load balancing problem by minimizing the response time. In this paper, we have proposed the enhanced version of existing regulated load balancing approach for cloud computing by comping the Randomization and greedy load balancing algorithm. To check the performance of proposed approach, we have used the cloud analyst simulator (Cloud Analyst). Through simulation analysis, it has been found that proposed improved version of regulated load balancing approach has shown better performance in terms of cost, response time and data processing time.
