Effectiveness of grid analogy for bridge deck analysis

Bridge decks have traditionally been designed using a simplified model known as the Grillage Analogy Method. Grillage Analogy Method shows how complex structures can be analyzed with physical reasoning and relatively simple computer models, and without complicated mathematics. In recent years the co...
