Abstract
A mechanically non linear procedure for the evaluation of the interaction between longitudinal and transverse resisting mechanisms in folded plated structures is proposed.
Both the analysis procedure and the considerations concerning the properties of the materials and reliability are developed in accordance with the recommendations of the CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 Predraft.
The proposed procedure is applied to a prestressed concrete bridge subjected to concentrated live loads applied in different positions.
A comparison is made so as to evidence the higher level of safety attained by means of a non linear analysis compared to a linear one.
The effect of the folded plate action is outlined, also, as determined by means of a linear and non linear procedure applied to a frame of unit length assumed to be independent of the whole structure.
