... zone would be inadequate in the front zone. As this second alternative is more economical than the ®rst, it is common practice to apply a light extension to the deck, the launching nose, able to control the front-zone stresses. The behaviour of the nose±deck elastic system is governed by three...

The beams are assumed to consist of two elastic materials and the connection between them to have a linear load slip characteristic. The exact solution...

A numerical example is given for illustration. In addition, it is shown that a coupled wall of certain static and dynamic properties can...
