摘要: |
This study was undertaken to review the design of pile bents by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Research was performed to investigate current design methodologies and compare practice approach to other feasible and cost effective design methods. As such, two goals were pursued: (i) enhancing the current equivalent frame model of the pile bents such that it fully considers the resistance of the soil around the piles, and, (ii) adopting a comprehensive state of practice, which involves the integration of a comprehensive software and analytical solutions. It was also deemed important to study displacement limits imposed on bridge design and suggest improved limits based on the results from the soil/structural models. / NOTE: Final rept.
