Temperature makes greatly differences on concrete in many aspects, including stress, strain and deformation, especially for arch concrete bridge structure. Some software can compute theoretical deformation, stress and bending moment of bridge structure due to temperature load, such as Midas Civil. In recent years, in order to learn about conditions of structure, many bridges have installed the healthy monitoring system. In this research, the monitoring data lasting approach a year was obtained from Haierwa Bridge, a concrete truss arch bridge, in Hebei province. The bridge belongs to Xuanda Highway, which undertook the main traffic flow of coal transportation. The proportion of heavy vehicles, exceeding 50t, ups to 30%, different with common highway. The objective of this paper is to monitor and analyse the deformation of concrete truss arch bridge due to air temperature change. Firstly, results show that the daily tendencies of temperature and bridge vertical deformation at mid-span, L/4 and arch foot in the winter and summer. The linear relationship was calculated between the temperature and deformation of critical sections based on the monitoring data. In addition, the finite element model was established to calculate the theoretical value, and further compared with practice values.

For the arrangement of suspender and arch rib in the combination of beam and arch bridge, the finite element model is established according to the background of practical engineering. The influence of the variations of structure design parameters on structure characteristics of the static and dynamic is analyzed. The calculation results show that the different layout of suspender has small effect on the axial force variations of tie beam and arch rib, but has bigger influence on the bending moment of partial section. The structural transverse basic frequency augments with increase of arch rib leaning-angle, the vertical and twisting basic frequency is larger when the leaning suspender and netted suspender are used. The arrangement of suspender and arch rib should be optimized in the design of similar bridge.

The Finite Element Model

In order to use finite element software to complete the design or calculation of bridge multi-pile foundation, this paper discusses the finite element model (FEM) of a bridge multi-pile based on the theory and provisions in Code for Design of Ground Base and Foundation of Highway Bridges and Culverts (CDGBFHBC 2007) of china. For the FEM of a bridge-multi pile foundation, cap is regarded as a rigid body, piles are taken as beams, and boundary constraints are a series of horizontal springs and vertical springs. First, the formula of stiffness for horizontal springs and bottom vertical spring is derived according to elastic ground base theory and winkler hypotheses. Secondly, for the friction pile, the stiffness of vertical springs on piles side is derived basis of the principle of friction generated and simplified distribution of pile shaft resistance. Then, the FEM of multi-pile needs pay attention to three issues: the simulation of connections between piles and cap, elastic modulus needs discount, and the weight for pile underneath the ground line (or local scour line) needs calculate by half. Taking pile section bending moment often control the design and calculation of pile into account, this paper gives a simplified FEM of pile. Finally, an example is used to introduce the application of the FEM of bridge multi-pile foundation.

This paper provides tractable solutions for elastic crack opening displacement (COD) of slanted through-wall cracks in plates and cylinders. The solutions were developed via detailed three dimensional elastic finite element analyses. The COD values were calculated along the thickness at the center of the crack. As for the loading conditions, only remote tension was considered for the plates, whereas remote tension, global bending moment, and internal pressure were considered for the cylinders. The finite element model employed in the present analysis was verified by using existing solutions for a cylinder with an idealized circumferential through-wall crack. The present results can be used to evaluate leak rates of slanted through-wall cracks, which can be used as a part of a detailed leak-before-break analysis considering more realistic crack shape development.

Abstract A bridge structure is one of the most expressive forms of art design. The artistic expression of bridge structure combines different concepts of structural design and architectural art design. Finite element differential equations are widely used in bridge art design theory and based on these features, the paper adopts the bridge modal parameter recognition algorithm and uses the finite element model to modify and realise the bridge's artistic design. The simulation results show the feasibility of the author's attempt to use the finite element differential equation as the bridge structure art design carrier. After the finite element differential equation modelling, the bridge art structure correction is highly consistent with the experimental results.

Compared with other neural networks, Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network has the advantages of simple structure and fast convergence. As long as there are enough hidden layer nodes in the hidden layer, it can approximate any non-linear function. In this paper, the finite element model of a through tied arch bridge is modified based on Neural Network. The approximation function of RBF neural network is utilized to fit the implicit function relationship between the response of the bridge and its design parameters. Then the finite element model of the bridge structure is modified. The results show that RBF neural network is efficient to modify the model of a through tied arch bridge.

The aim of this paper is to design and fabricate a star die and a cylindrical die to produce a star shape by redrawing the cylindrical shape and comparing it to the conventional method of producing a star cup drawn from the circular blank sheet using experimental (EXP) and finite element simulation (FES). The redrawing and drawing process was done to produce a star cup with the dimension of (41.5 × 34.69mm), and (30 mm). The finite element model is performed via mechanical APDL ANSYS18.0 to modulate the redrawing and drawing operation. The results of finite element analysis were compared with the experimental results and it is found that the maximum punch force (39.12KN) recorded with the production of a star shape drawn from the circular blank sheet when comparing the punch force (32.33 KN) recorded when redrawing the cylindrical shape into a star shape. This is due to the exposure of the cup produced drawn from the blank to the highest tensile stress. The highest value of the effective stress (709MPa) and effective strain (0.751) recorded with the star shape drawn from a circular blank sheet. The maximum value of lamination (8.707%) is recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the first method compared to the maximum value of lamination (5.822%) recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the second method because of this exposure to the highest concentration of stresses. The best distribution of thickness, strains, and stresses when producing a star shape by
