A Study of the Evaluation of Fatigue Crack at Welded Joint for Steel Plate Girder
Abstract Fatigue phenomenon is one of the main factors controlling the life of the steel bridges. And it is caused from accumulation of live load stress for long time under a normal condition rather than an extreme condition. In the steel plate...

Speed and Capacity for Urban Roads, Indonesian Experience
Abstract The principle underlying the capacity analysis of road segments is that speed decrease as flow increase. The speed decrease with unit flow increase is small at low flows but becomes greater as flows get higher. Near capacity, a small...
