| The finite element analyses of the concrete bridge system and single double-tee beams are carried out using both orthotropic and isotropic modeling including linear and nonlinear behavior. The orthotropic concrete double-tee bridge system is modeled to predict the deformational behavior of bridge deck under the AASHTO service loading conditions in the static regimes. The nonlinear analyses of reinforced and prestressed concrete rectangular beams are also carried out to verify the validity of modeling. Both the linear and nonlinear finite element analyses for single double-tee beams prestressed with FRP materials are carried out in this study. In this research, the MARC finite element software on the VAX frame is used as a tool to carry out the analyses. |
