Abstract:This paper presents an optimizing design for the floor deck for the composite arch steel bridge depending on the arch flexibility (the bridge’s main component). The design is based on second-order effects using nonlinear p-delta analysis. Many variables are considered in the parametric study, which is the arch’s in-plane flexibility, the out-of-plane flexibility of the arch, and the number and stiffness of the lateral bracing between the twin arches. The design has been done by graphical design software SAP200… Show more
