Opening

I created this site to document my efforts at finite element analysis of concrete bridge decks. Specifically, I am interested in modeling the restrained shrinkage of the decks and determining the the effect on global behavior of various design characteristics of the bridges. This work is apart of my dissertation research and is ongoing. This site is by no means an "expert" site but rather an arena in which I can deposit some of the fruits--small though they may be--of my labors. Furthermore, I welcome any comments, suggestions, criticisms, and/or ecouragement anyone with expertise or knowledge in this area may have to offer.
