Load Distribution and Several Analytic Methods on the Structures Composed
of Beams and Joint-beams
Akihiro YAMASHITA
There are some constructional methods to make underground passage-structures
without disturbing surface structures, such as railways and highways. Both URT
Constructional Method and Pipe Beam Constructional Method are often to make
passage-structures typed through bridge. The passage-structures typed through
bridge have two main beams and cross beams connected with each other by
interlocking joints along their length. As the joints distribute train load to
adjacent cross beams, to get the behavior of the passage-structures typed through
bridge is necessary to calculate load distribution by not only the connection
between main beams and cross beams but also the joints. This paper deals with
trigonometric series method, boundary integral equations method, and finite
elements method for analyzing load distribution on joint-beams structures.
