3-D finite element modeling in OpenSees for bridge live-load girder distribution factors

Creator:

Scoggins, Luke A.

Abstract:

A generalized, three-dimensional, finite element bridge model was created in order to efficiently and accurately assess live-load girder distribution factors for a variety of bridge types. This model shortens the time required by bridge analysts to develop individual finite element models for bridges of varying geometries. The creation of the...
