Abstract
A method for predicting the effects of loads that vary with time on bridges and other structures when deformations extend into the plastic range is presented in this paper. Although such analyses are necessarily more complex than the use of statics, the method presented requires only numerical techniques. Hence, the computations are of a routine nature fitted to the procedures of a design office. The bridge studies reported in this paper aid in determining which bridges, under atomic attack, are most susceptible to damage, and the bridge characteristics that are desirable for resisting blast.
