1. 6. Development of a Bridge SteelEdge Beam Design : FE Modelling for a Vehicle Collision andCase Study

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Diego Ramos Sangrós; [2015]
   Keywords : steel edge beam; collision analysis; edge beam development; bridge edge beam system; finite element modeling.;

   Abstract : The degradation of bridge edge beam systems in Sweden entailed the study of new alternativedesigns, which may become more optimal from a life-cycle perspective than the currenttypical solution used (concrete integrated). Subsequently, a U-shaped steel edge beamproposed by the consulting engineering group Ramböll was considered by the SwedishTransport Administration for its use in a real bridge project. READ MORE
