Enhancement of Existing Engineering Software, Vol. 4: Brass-Geometry User Documentation (Jul 1992, MPC-92-9.4)
Often, a traditional design procedure is used wherein a designer sketches results which are based on computer applications and transmits this information via hard copy to a drafter, who re-enters it into a CAD system. The inefficiencies are clear and an obvious opportunity exists for productive gain....
Enhancement of Existing Engineering Software, Vol. 5: Transverse Load Distribution in Slab-Girder Bridges (Jul 1992, MPC-92-9.5)
The finite strip method was used to develop an automated procedure for determining the distribution of load on highway bridges subjected to both standard truck loads and overload permit vehicle loads. The distribution factors obtained by this procedure are used in the design and load rating of highway...
