An approximate method of dynamic amplification factor for alternate load path in redundancy and progressive collapse linear static analysis for steel truss bridges
Abstract Linear static analysis with an alternate load path using dynamic amplification factor (DAF) is often used for redundancy and progressive collapse analysis of steel truss bridges to avoid using the more time-consuming dynamic analysis. This...
