Use of Wind Power Maps to Establish Fatigue Design Criteria for Traffic Signal and High-Mast Structures (Dec 2008, MPC-08-207)
Recent design requirements for traffic signal and sign structures incorporated fatigue load criteria related to wind that are producing significant increases in size and cost. The Fourth Edition of the AASHTO Luminaire and Traffic Signal Specification (2002 with interims) specification is a significant...
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...
