What Will I Learn?
Acquire practical skills to model simply supported concrete bridges, assess moving load impacts, and evaluate seismic responses via SDOF techniques. Master mass and stiffness estimation, Newmark-beta integration, response spectra analysis, dynamic amplification and base shear calculations, and identify needs for MDOF or nonlinear methods to ensure accurate, documented outcomes.
Elevify Advantages
Develop Skills
- Perform moving load analysis to determine dynamic amplification in truck-bridge interactions.
- Model bridges as SDOF systems by idealising RC spans and estimating mass, stiffness, and damping.
- Apply seismic SDOF design using response spectra for base shear and displacement computations.
- Evaluate dynamic responses for serviceability based on peak displacements and forces.
- Discern limitations of SDOF modelling and requirements for MDOF or nonlinear approaches.
