Refer to Design Step 1 for introductory information about this design example. Additional information is presented about the design assumptions, methodology, and criteria for the entire bridge, including the steel girder. Figure 3-1 Span Configuration. Figure 3-2 Superstructure Cross Section.
HYPOFLUORESCENCE Hypofluorescence may be caused by 1) blocked fluorescence, which is synonymous with negative fluorescence or transmission decrease, or 2) a vascular filling defect. Blocked fluorescence corresponds to the size, shape, and location of the blocking material seen ophthalmoscopically.
Hypoventilation may be caused by an uneven distribution of inspired air (as in bronchitis), obesity, neuromuscular or skeletal disease affecting the thorax, decreased response of the respiratory center to carbon dioxide, or a reduced amount of functional lung tissue, as in atelectasis, emphysema, and pleural effusion.
