The proposed paper compares tied-arch bridge alternatives and cable-stayed bridge alternatives based on needed load-bearing construction material amounts in the superstructure. The comparisons are prepared between four tied arch bridge solutions and four cable-stayed bridge solutions of the same span lengths. The sum of the span lengths is 300 m. The rise of arch as well as the height of pylon and cable arrangements follow optimal dimensions. The theoretic optimum rise of tied-arch for minimum material amount is higher than traditionally used for aesthetic reason. The optimum rise for minimum material amount parabolic arch is shown in the paper. The mathematical solution uses axial force index method presented in the paper. For the tied-arches the span-rise-ration of 3 is used. The hangers of the tied-arches are vertical-The tied-arches are calculated by numeric iteration method in order to get moment-less arch. The arches are designed as constant stress arch. The area and the weight of the cross section follow the compression force in the arch. In addition the self-weight of the suspender cables are included in the calculation. The influence of traffic loads are calculated by using a separate FEM program. It is concluded that tied-arch is a competitive alternative to cable-stayed bridge especially when asymmetric bridge spans are considered.

Tied Arch Bridge

To study the mechanical performance and stability of tied-arch bridge under structural defects and damages, limited element modal of Panzhihua Luoguo Jinshajiang Bridge was established and analyzed. Firstly, some typical damage models and their influence factors were presented. Then, based on the model established, change of suspender force caused by arch rib lineation defect, hanger lineation defect and boom failure was calculated respectively. The stability safety factor under the load group composed of dead load, live load and wind was calculated as well as the second-class nonlinear stability safety factor under structural initial defect. Calculation results shows that, suspender forces were more sensitive to archs vertical defect than to transverse defect. While, short hangers were more sensitive to lineation defect than long ones, and secondary inner force in short booms were bigger than in long ones. The result also tells that lateral wind is bad to lateral stability. Lift wind, somehow, makes positive contribution to structures in-plane stability. Structural initial defect can draw down the second-class stability safety factor under geometric nonlinear condition.

Large-span V structure tied arch bridge structure system is complex. In order to make the actual state of the bridge into the ideal state of maximum close to the design, we must make real-time monitoring in the key parts of the structure, and adjust to the design of the data by analysis calculated, to ensure the safety and reliability of arch bridge in the course of construction and into stress after the completed bridge. Combined with the construction monitoring of the main Xinglong Bridge on Si River, this paper introduces the main bridge construction process measurement a preliminary study on the large span V configuration basket tied arch bridge construction monitoring technology. Based on the construction monitoring of Xinglong Bridge on Si River, this paper introduces the main contents and methods of monitoring point location, monitoring control of construction process, and discussed the construction monitoring technology of long-span X-style tied arch bridge V structure.

The principle and procedure of bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) are stated in detail. A program based on BESO is introduced in conceptual bridge design. Topology optimizations are achieved for deck arch bridges with different rise-to-span ratios, half-through arch bridge, through tied arch bridge, bridge pier and bridge main beam. The results demonstrate rational structures with well-distributed stress and smooth force transmission, which indicates the efficient of the method.

Based on the finite element theory, the computational model, one through concrete filled steel tube tied-arch bridge was established under the considerations of both geometrical non-linearity and material non-linearity. And using the ANSYS software to study the bridge's arch rib construction process and the overall stability after the complete construction, the results show that the full-bridge’s stability coefficient are larger than other concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge; the in-plane stiffness is larger than the out-plane stiffness, and the influence of material non-linearity on the stability is notable. The results provide a good reference for the similar bridge's design and construction.
