Hi,
I posted a thread in the FEM forum. It has to do with designing a Sole Plate that goes between a bridge steel plate girder and the elastomeric (steel reinforced) bearing pad. Here's a link:
thread727-44756 I would appreciate it if anyone would check out the thread and respond there...
I am looking at a steel plate girder bearing on a steel/elastomeric bearing pad. I am looking at the required thickness of a "sole plate" between the girder bottom flange and the bearing pad. The bearing pad and sole plate are an inch wider than the girder flange, which complicates...
Thanks to Ivymike for motivating me to try this.
I found the documentation poor and the process unintuitive. So I wrote a 12 step process to get the basics down...
First, open the "angle.mcd" file, usually in C:\Program Files\MathSoft\Mathcad\samples\CAD\SmrtSkch
then fillow the...
Hello,
The 15th Ed. of the AASHTO Stnd. Road and Bridge Spec., sect. 14.4.1 had stress / strain curves for elastomeric bridge bearing pads as a function of shape factor. I would like to locate an electronic version of these curves. It could be just about any format, vector (CAD), graphic such...
Hello,
I'm looking for PZ sheet pile section drawings (detailed and to scale) so that I can make modifications and calculate new section properties (w/microstation or autocad). I've found drawings for the AZ shapes, but not PZ shapes. Anyone know of a source?
Thanks,
Randy
