  BIAX-1: Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Sections

  Wallace, John W.; Moehle, Jack P.

  Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1992,

  BIAX-1 is a general purpose computer program to evaluate uniaxial and biaxial strength and deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (R/C) sections. The program computes these characteristics based on the assumption that plane sections remain plane after the application of loading. The program can be used to compute strength or moment-curvature relations for uniaxial or biaxial monotonic loading of reinforced concrete sections. Nonlinear material models are used for both the reinforcing steel and the concrete. The model for the stress-strain behavior of the reinforcing steel is versatile, allowing relations that closely approximate experimentally observed behavior.The program allows two stress-strain diagrams for concrete (unconfined and confined) and four relations for reinforcing steel. The R/C section is described as a combination of rectangular subsections; therefore the program allows easy generation of T, L, or barbell shaped sections. The program user specifies a mesh for each subsection. An iterative procedure (simple bisection algorithm) is used to obtain a solution for the prescribed problem.

  CELL4: Elastic Finite Element Analysis of Prestressed Cellular Structures of Arbitrary Plan Geometry and Constant Depth

  Chan, Esmond C.-Y.; Scordelis, Alex C.

  Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1985,

  CELL4 is a program based upon the finite element method and is particularly suited for the analysis of post-tensioned box girder bridges of constant depth which have arbitrary plan geometry and support conditions. The bridge can be straight, curved, or quadrilateral in plan. The longitudinal interior webs must be vertical, but the longitudinal exterior webs can be vertical, sloping, or curved. Transverse diaphragms can be modelled by vertical web elements or by special web elements in regions with sloping or curved webs. The top and bottom deck slabs as well as the interior and the exterior webs may be prestressed. Boundary conditions at any nodal point are arbitrary, allowing rigid supports as well as translational and rotational elastic supports, oriented in any arbitrary direction to simulate the stiffness of the supporting columns and bents. For prestressing analysis an automatic input has been provided to define the geometry of the two types of post-tensioned unbonded tendons which can be used. Each panel or slab tendon can be stressed either from one end or both ends, and losses due to friction and anchorage slip are accounted for. In order to facilitate the interpretation of output, an automatic integration of internal forces to give individual girder and total sectional force resultants is incorporated. This permits a better understanding of the load carrying mechanism in a complex bridge system, and can also be used to carry out equilibrium checks easily.

  ISADAB: Inelastic Static and Dynamic Analysis of Bridges

  Saiidi, Mehdi; Lawver, Renee A.; Hart, James D.

  Civil Engineering Department, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada, 1986,

  ISADAB was developed for the transverse inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete highway bridges. The following tasks can be carried out by the program: (a) static analysis, (b) free-vibration analysis for initial displacements caused by static loads, (c) frequency analysis based on instantaneous stiffness during static loading, and (d) earthquake response analysis. The nonlinear effects are accounted for by incorporating translational and rotational springs at abutments, pier foundations, and at the base of piers. The deck and piers are treated as line elements. Two hysteresis models are used to represent the cyclic behavior of the nonlinear components: the Ramberg-Osgood model (for abutment springs) and the TQ-Hyst model (for pier and foundation springs), which operates on a tri-linear primary curve.

  LAPBOX: Linear Elastic Analysis of Box Girder Bridges

  Choudhury, Deepak

  Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1986,

  LAPBOX is an implementation of a numerical procedure for the analysis of curved nonprismatic reinforced and prestressed concrete box girder bridges. Thin-walled beam theory and the finite element method are combined to develop a curved nonprismatic thin-walled box beam element. The cross section of the element is a rectangular single-cell box with side cantilevers. The axis of the element is curved in plan. The cross sectional dimensions vary along the element axis. Eight displacement degrees of freedom, including transverse distortion and longitudinal warping of the cross section are considered at each of the three element nodes. Small displacements and small strains are assumed in the element formulation. Prestressing, consisting of post-tensioned bonded tendons in the longitudinal direction, is considered. The tendons are idealized as straight prestressing steel segments between nodes of the box beam elements. Friction and anchorage slip losses are considered.

It is a special-purpose program for the structural design of reinforced concrete building structures and the subsequent detailing. The post-analysis nature of the program gives it more power over conventional "integrated" programs that carry out altogether the structural analysis and the structural design. Once the structure is analyzed using a reliable structural analysis program, the model and the results are imported to RC-PADD, where the structural design and detailing are carried out.

An advantage of the program is its intuitiveness. Automatic generation of building cross-sections, automatic positioning and dimensioning of structural elements, handy databases of elements and materials - all these result in a considerable reduction of time for creating documentation with the use of the RCAD Formwork Drawings program.

  SEGAN: Analysis of Curved Segmentally Erected Prestressed Concrete Box Girder Bridges

  Van Zyl, Stefanus F.

  Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1978,

  This program permits the analysis of curved segmentally erected prestressed concrete box girder bridges, including time dependent effects, so that deflections and stresses can be computed at any stage during the construction or service life of the bridge. The segments can be either precast or cast in place. The bridge cross section must consist of a single box section with vertical or inclined webs and have cantilever flanges. Width and depth dimensions can vary along the bridge span. Time-dependent material changes, such as creep and shrinkage of concrete, as well as environmental effects such as humidity and temperature changes, are accounted for. However, other concrete material nonlinearities such as cracking or inelastic behavior and geometric nonlinearities are not included in the analysis. Prestressing in the longitudinal direction can be included in the analysis. Tendons can be located in either the webs or flanges and can have a linear or parabolic profile. Stressing and release operations, slip in of tendons, and restressing and removal of tendons are included. A procedure is included for specifying the structural configuration and the erection sequence. Operations used in segmental construction, such as addition of segments, prestressing, changing of support boundary conditions, application or removal of construction loads, and prescribed displacements can be analysed. At each construction stage, the current structure is analyzed and the incremental and total displacements, stresses, and strains are obtained. The complete structure can also be analyzed for a variety of live loads and time steps.
