French Premier Partner's Success with UC-win/Road

The French civil engineering software house itech has recently announced their latest sale of the
award winning 3D VR simulation software from Japanese software specialist Forum 8.

David Remaud of itech ( www.itech-soft.com ) a Forum 8 Premier Partner based in Paris commented "We first came across Forum 8 when researching the market for 3D simulation software for engineering applications. We are a company that specializes in the design, development and distribution of structural computation software packages for use in the construction, civil engineering, roads and mechanical engineering sectors.

"Forum 8 seemed like a very dynamic and responsive company and we immediately began working together. In fact our first project was the design of a user interface for one of their Geo visualization packages.

"The next stage in our involvement with this market leading Japanese 3D VR software specialist was to become an active distributor of their software.

"The initial result was the sale of a system to a University closely followed by an approach from a huge manufacturing company here in France that wanted to utilize the Forum 8 3D Virtual Reality (VR) simulation software within their Driver Training Simulator.

"We will be revealing full details of this exciting new client very soon. However, what I can reveal is that they chose the Japanese software for a number of reasons, including its preeminence as the leading simulation software in the highly competitive Japanese and Korean markets and their experience with the Japanese Type N700 Shinkansen (Bullet Train) Simulator for training drivers and conductors.

"Apart from the comprehensive features of the software, they were also looking for a supplier that could guarantee a high level of technical support from both the software manufacturer as well as from its local Partner. I'm pleased to say that they found the combination of itech, Forum 8 and UC-win/Road to be the perfect solution."

Report of the C1-2 Experiment Pre-analysis Contest

On Thursday 5 March 2009, the C1-2 Experiment Pre-analysis contest of "2007 / 2008 Research presentation of earthquake resistance experiment for piers", sponsored by the National Research Institute for earth Science and Disaster Prevention in Japan, on the third floor of World Trade Center building which locates in Hamamatsu-cho, Minato-ku, Tokyo ,Japan. UC-win/FRAME (3D) analysis support team won the pre-analysis contest (E-defense) in the fiber model class. Following are summary and analysis models of the contest.

13 August, 2008 on the website(http://www.bosai.go.jp/hyogo/) of Hyog Earthquake Engineering Research Center, National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, registration applications of the C1-2 Experiment Pre-analysis contest started.

FORUM8 tried to this contest through the UC-win/FRAME (3D), which is popular among many users, Adding Aoto to the team who belongs to Yoshikawa lab of civil engineering course, Tokyo City University.

The C1-2 experiments assume the piers which were constructed in 1970s and have two stepped rebar arrangements in the middle of it. The height of piers not including footings are 7.5 meter and the column parts are 6.0 meter and diameter of the column is 1.8 meter. The contest was divided into two parts of "Pre analysis" and "Post analysis". The former was literally conducted before experiment and in the latter analysis was conducted using the response acceleration spectrum, which was resulted from the experiment.

This contest adopted a blind analysis contest, so we were only told a drawing, weight and test results of materials. The dynamic analysis model based on these materials was modeled as shown in the figure below. The subjected pier of experiment and the total system including neighboring piers and girders. This model was consisting of total nodes number was 585. The number of fiber elements for the pier was 6, and elastic beam elements for other extra material were 735.



Details about the fiber elements for analysis are as following. The pier was divided into upper and lower parts because material test values of them have a difference value. Frame of concrete hysteresis is a stress-strain curve of concrete considering lateral restraint effects, which is defined on the page 160 of the specifications for highway bridges V seismic design part. Inside history adopted Sakai-Kawashima model. Because it doesn't meet a guideline for reinforcing bar arrangement of current specifications for highway bridges, restraint affected by lateral restraint reinforcements cannot be considered. To differentiate from concrete cover, core concrete is considering the 20 percent of residual strength toward peak strength. Reinforcement hysteresis is bilinear type of framework and inside history consider the Bauschinger effects. About the column which is modeled with fiber elements, the length of material is set to become 0.9 meter as the approximately half diameter.
Damping is stiffness proportional by elements and damping coefficient of fiber elements is set equal to zero.


Regarding a bearing, the sliding bearing of the end of the pier is modeled through a bilinear type of spring.
the spring adopts the upper limit, of which friction force is calculated from the coefficient of friction of μ=0.2, and fall-prevention bearing on the targeted pier adopts asymmetric spring, which is only effective to a contact direction.

Here is the result. Following is a displacement history on the top of the pier. It shows the component of vertical direction on the left and the direction to the bridge axis on the right. You can find the red of experimental results traced better than grey. The graph is cut because collision of a girder and a beam with a guard fence after 12.5 seconds prevent its evaluation.


Following shows the relation of the reaction which developed on the fixed bearing of bridge axis direction and displacement of the upper end of the pier. It is conceivable that large deviation after 200mm was caused by above crush. Before crush, displacement history is matched as well as the one of the upper end of the pier.

National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster prevention (NIED) will disclose the detail of the experimental results. We try to improve the quality of products, reviewing the actual experimental results and the analysis values. We hope your continuous support.

100 Best Bridges BRIDGES 100 SELECTION
1" TOKYO " From the 100 Best Bridges in the Kanto Area
IT Station "Citizen and Construction" "NPO Corporation
URL: http://www.itstation.jp/

1. Concrete Arch Bridge Kameido Tenjin Bridge

Onna Bashi (Women bridge) Otoko Bashi (Men bridge)

You can see the two large and small arched bridges in the precincts of Kameido shrine, Koto ward. They are each called Otoko-Bashi, Onna-Bashi, from the right. Otoko-bashi stands for a mountain of hardship in the past and Onna-Bashi stands for future. The shrine says that crossing these bridges, you can arrived in front of a god. Before they were vermilion-lacquered bridges, but they were damaged by a war and re-constructed as a concrete arch bridge in 1952.

The shrine is called as Kameido Tenmangu, which stands for a shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the patron saint of scholarship, and famous as a grand shrine in the Edo period as well as Fukagawa Hachimangu. They are erected in imitation of Dazaifu Tenmangu of Kyushu in the eras of Tsunayoshi's Bakufu, and the time of Sugawara no Michizane as an enshrined deity: it must be a tutelary deity for a newly developed land. Also the precincts of Kameido shrine are known for a noted place of 80 roots of wisteria, which are drawn in a print at that time; it is used in the cover page of the 100 bridges.



2. Stone-Built Arch Bridge Nihon-Bashi


As locating the Edo-Bakufu, Tokugawa Ieyasu built the bridge to link with the new city, which are made by reclaiming the part of sea in 1603. You could say that Town creation of Tokyo started from construction of the Nihon-bashi.

Next year, the five main highways such as Tokaido were defined starting from here. Current Nihon-Bashi is a stone-built arch erected in 1911. It is designated as an important cultural property, marked a milestone and a ornamental top of a railing. You could say that its design is the most important work of a combination of Japanese, Chinese and European styles. Its bridge name was called Nihon-Bashi after the Nihon-Bashi river.

Because a highway was built directly above the bridge in 1964, there has been a lot of controversy about bridge landscape; it should be removed or moved. People are searching re-construction plans. There are some plan that it should imitate the Cheonggyecheon, Seoul, South Korea, which is a good case that Lee Myung-bak, Seoul mayor then re-established a stream and landscape by removing the elevated highway and restoring the stream.



3. Steel Arch Bridge Nijuu-Bashi


The photo shows a steel bridge crossing the imperial moat, and there are stone-built bridges at the back; a stone-built bridge is called "Nishinomaru Ote-Bashi" and a steel bridge is called "Nishinomaru Shimojo-Bashi" Nijuu-Bashi, which is crossed over deep moats and the girder supporting piers, is called after a double structural crossing technique.
It was a wood structural arch bridge(Total Length: 29m, Width: 6.5m) in the Edo period, but was replaced with a steel bridge made in Germany in 1888, by asking a Germany company to do that.
After that, they are reborn in 1964. Though the Imperial Household Agency calls the stone-built bridge for "Seimon Ishibashi", the steel bridge for "Seimon Tetsubashi", in general they are collectively called "Nijui-Bashi"



4. Steel Arch Bridge Eidai-Bashi


Eidai-Bashi was crossed by Tokugawa-Bakufu in 1698; it was fourth bridge crossed in Suminda River, following Ryogoku-Bashi, Shin-Ohashi, and Azuma-Bashi. The size of the wooden bridge at that time was 200m × 6m.

In 1698 during the Fukagawa-Tomioka Hachiman Festival, terrible catastrophe happened, which was caused by weight limit over. The bridge fell down because quite a lot of viewers gathered in the one place. The people in charge were punished with banishment to a distant island.

In 1897 it was replaced with a steel bridge, above 200m away from the original. The finished bride was huge construction with the size of 200m x 14m, which attracted people's attention; it cost as much as 83,650 yen and took three and half years for construction.

After that it was replaced in 1926. Compared with Kiyoshu-Bashi, it looks more masculine and has heavier weight. It has been read as "Eidaiha doshinto oita youni kake" meaning "Eidai-Bashi was crossed as if it was with a solid appearance" in Senryu.

UC-win/Road

Traffic Flow Setting at the Intersection
When you set the traffic volume in UC-win/Road, you need to input it by road unit. You enter the number of vehicle from the start point of each road to the end point. For example, in case that two traffic lanes which traffic volume is 10000 vehicles. 500 vehicles are divided on each traffic lane. When you assign the weight to each right turn / straight / left turn at the intersection, you need to set the number of driving vehicles on each lane.

If you want to set as:
Left turn: 200 vehicles as 20%
Straight: 700 vehicles as 70%
Right turn: 100 vehicles as 10%

Given in two-lane road, you need to set as:
Left lane/ Left turn:3, Straight:3
Right lane/ Straight: 4, Right turn:1

When the right-lane will become the right-turn lane, you need to shift vehicles to the left-lane until the intersection. To make the right-turn to be the 10 percent of the total share, you need to shift the 80 percent of vehicles, 400 vehicles, from the right lane to the left lane. As a result, the traffic volume will be as below.

Left lane: 90% as 900 vehicles
Right lane: 10% as 100 vehicles

Left lane/ Left-turn:22.2, Straight 77.7
Right lane/ Right-turn: 100

Above vehicle-shift setting can be set at the behavior control points. Vehicle setting is also important as well as weighting of vehicles at the intersection. For example, the number of vehicle at the next intersection depends on the weighting of assigned vehicles. If the setting of the vehicle which go straight doesn't be established, they all will drive in the left lane. There is not so much influence on the other intersection when the setting is established in the only one intersection, but if you consider a network configured by multiple intersection, you need to consider the influence.

UC-win/FRAME(3D)

How can the pier with an angle of skew be modeled?

We introduce how to export from "Seismic coefficient calculation (Bearing Design)", and how to model the pier with an angle of skew. First, when you export data from the Seismic coefficient calculation (Bearing Design) to the UC-win/FRAME(3D), the model are automatically created as following.


Seen from above, the model are crossed toward the super-structure and its bevelθ is 90 degrees.
To rotate pier members, two methods are available.

Method1
1) Select member(s)
2) Enter the arranged angle of section in the general tab of member edit window

Method2
1) Select member(s)
2) Right click to show the pop-up menu and select [the association between the element Y axis and the global coordinate system]
3) Enter a vector

Method1 is the way to set the arranged angle of the section for the element coordinate system, so if you enter an angle, only the main axis coordinate system rotate but the element coordinate system doesn't rotate.
Method2 is to set the angle of the element coordinate system. The main axis coordinate system rotates then; Both the element coordinate system and the main axis coordinate system rotate at the same time.
Please look at the following.


The image above left shows the method1 and right image shows the method2, which is rotated. Though each coordinate system is rotated 30 degrees, the left image shows only the main axis coordinate system(subscript is p) rotating, and the element coordinate system (subscript is l) isn't rotated.
Regarding the right image, both the main axis coordinate system and the element coordinate system rotate. This doesn't influence on the analysis result, but you should take method2, for it is easier than method1.

For more information, please refer to the following help.
[Operation method | Model creations | Model(5) - the coordinate system-]
[Operation method | Model creations | Model(6) - Model (6) - The specification of the direction of the element coordinate system -]

Please make sure to rotate the coordinate system of fulcrum, when you changed the angle of pier.
If you forget to change it, as the right image showing, the footing and the fulcrum can't match.


Functions introduced above are effective for you to create skew bridge models or curved bridge models.
Please make use it.
