Users Manual for Program BOVAS (Bridge Overload Analysis - Steel)
The users manual contains the description of the application of computer program BOVAS (Bridge Overload Analysis - Steel). The program is designed to predict the elastic and inelastic behavior of simple span or continuous steel multigirder bridge superstructures with a reinforced concrete deck slab and steel girders. Program BOVAS could be used in the determination of the overload response of bridges or in the rating of bridges with the above characteristics. The program can predict the damage to the bridge superstructure, if any, in the form of cracking and crushing of concrete; yielding and strain hardening of steel; buckling of plate girder webs and compression flanges. The report presents the assumptions and describes the input required and output generated. Three example problems are also included to illustrate the various input and output options in the application of the program.
