I would like to undertake an FEA of a large-span culvert with heavy loads. The culvert material is relatively heavy gage 6"x2" corrugated steel. I have used CANDE89 for 2D plane-strain solutions, but the DOS-based program input and output has become very cumbersome. I have been utilizing...
I have AutoCAD LT98. I would like to bring a TIF file into ACAD so that I can create a vector drawing over the raster image, then delete the raster image. Can this be done? I can only find an import for DXF and WMF files. I tried to create a WMF file in PhotoShop 7.0, but no luck. Any...
I have a problem concerning very heavily loaded pipe-arch culverts under which normal assumptions appear rather conservative. This is based upon comments from a researcher who tested large span culverts with shallow cover. He related a test on a 24 ft span culvert with 16" cover supporting...
I am attempting to model corrugated steel pipe-arches with the CANDE soil-structure interaction program. It appears straightforward to use the program (except for actual data determination of non-linear soil element properties), but the CANDE-89 users manual that I have refers to FHWA reports...
