Abstract Details

2006, Master of Science, University of Akron, Civil Engineering.
This thesis project was developed with the main objective to present the results obtained from a structural analysis performed on a bridge system patented and produced by PML LOGIS Bridge System Company from Singen, Germany. Its design is intended primarily for pedestrian or bicycle traffic, however it could also be conceived for any possible equestrian or snowmobile passage. In general, the target of the designer is to introduce this bridge concept into the ongoing expanding market for aluminum transportation facilities in the United States. In view of such prospective applications, the groundwork for such structural evaluation consist of the specifications provided by the governing agency which is the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials and in consideration of those design provisions stipulated by the Aluminum Association.
