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.
In severe hypothermia, there may be paradoxical undressing, in which a person removes his or her clothing, as well as an increased risk of the heart stopping. Hypothermia has two main types of causes. It classically occurs from exposure to extreme cold. It may also occur from any condition that decreases heat production or increases heat loss. Commonly this includes alcohol intoxication but may also include low blood sugar, anorexia, and advanced age.
