Modeling a Bridge Under Static Truck Load with ANSYS
Course project for Introduction to Finite Element Method. The project modeled a CFRP-repaired bridge under static truck loading in ANSYS. The CFRP layer was not successfully attached in the model, but the bridge deflection stayed in the expected range.
