Optimization of cable pre-tensioning force in cable-stayed bridges by simplifying the structural model with a case study of Lali bridge [PDF]
مهندسی عمران شریف, 2023 Cable-stayed bridges are bridges in which the deck is connected directly to the towers by diagonal cables. These bridges are mainly known by the length of the middle span, which often falls between the span lengths of suspension bridges and bridges ...

Experimental Analysis of Pretensioned CLT-Glulam T-Section Beams
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018 The bending behavior of T-section beams composed of a glulam web and an upper cross-laminated timber flange was studied. The influence of two fundamental factors on the bending strength and stiffness was considered: the wood species used for the webs and

Nonlinear finite-element analysis of embedment behavior of metal washer in bolted timber joints
Journal of Wood Science, 2021 The pretensioning force in bolted joints enhances the lateral strength of the connections, and causes the embedment of metal washers into wood. Despite the significance of embedment behavior in the design of bolted joints, its mechanism has yet to be ...

Modelling of Multi-Bolted Systems at the Pretension Stage – Part 1: Mechanical Characteristics of the Contact between the Joined Elements [PDF]
Archives of Metallurgy and MaterialsThe subject of the paper is the modelling of multi-bolted connections that are at the pretensioning stage. Taking a systematic approach to the modelling issue, the connection was treated as a composite of four subsystems: a bolt set, a pair of joined ...
