The design and construction of the stiffening steel truss bridge is a complex and large-scale professional program. The abstract of the plans and the weaknesses of the view angles to the design sketch will also become limitations to the owners and the decision makers. Based on the project of Baling River Bridge of large stiffening steel truss girders, this study creates a three-dimensional fine model for it via CAD, pre-assembles each parts of the bridge, and checks sections and dockings one to one correspondingly. Data conversion of this model directly generates virtual visualized model. This visualized fine model of Baling River Bridge provides decision makers with a visual analysis platform, which also offers technical guarantee and support for sensible decision makings.

Steel trusses are often used in the railway bridges.It is known that fatigue cracks may occour in the welded joints under the long-term dynamic loading. If the cracks are not detected and repaired in time, which may endanger the safety of bridges. This paper presents a solid element modeling method by the commercial finite element software package ANSYS, which can be used to model three dimensional cracked joint of bridge structures. Based on this method, the stress intensity factors are calculated. The results show that the modeling method is efficient and has a high precision for the stress intensity factor, which can be used to predict the fatigue life of the bridge.

AbstractThe existing fatigue assessment approaches were mainly conducted on the component level. The interaction of local component damage and the global response cannot be well addressed. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) fatigue crack propagation analysis approach based on global-local numerical model was implemented, and examined to be accurate and effective through a series of systematic experimental data obtained by Fisher. Afterwards, the approach was introduced into a typical steel truss bridge for realizing more refined fatigue assessment from the global structural level. The fatigue performance of the longitudinal steel welded beam in the steel truss bridge was investigated based on global-local model and local model respectively. It was found that there is no difference in terms of the fatigue crack growth mechanism between the simulation between global-local model and local model due to that the stress level of the whole structure is relatively low. At last, the effect of heavy haul train operation on the fatigue performance of the steel truss bridge was analyzed. It was observed that the residual life of the longitudinal steel welded beam would have an obvious reduction when the axle load was increasing. The research work in this study presents a technical solution for the fatigue assessment of the global structure and can provide beneficial reference for relevant practical engineering projects.

Truss Bridge

The paper deals with a preparation of a complex FEM model for a local damage detection. The initial verified and validated three-dimensional FEM model of a steel truss bridge in laboratory is revised step-by-step to achieve the accurate model according to the experimental model. The emphasis is on modelling of the joints with 4 rivets and modelling of correct boundary conditions, as well as mass parameters and cross-section dimensions.A modal analysis of the structure is performed in FEM software. Many experimental measurements were made to correctly revise the FEM model. The calculated natural frequencies are compared with the measured ones. In addition, mode-shapes from the calculation are validated with the measured mode-shapes. The difference between the prepared FEM model and the measured specimen is small enough after a few steps of tuning. The verified, validated and revised numerical model can be used in future for a local damage detection.

The car overpass can play a significant role in easing traffic pressure. So for maximum easing traffic pressure, two types of car overpass are put forward: steel trussed girder-bridge and steel trussed cable-stayed bridge. Then establish a three-dimensional finite element model of the steel truss bridge and cable-stayed bridge by ANSYS. According to stress analysis and comparison of the steel truss and steel truss cable-stayed, the cable-stayed structure can enhance structural rigidity and strength, and have little influence on traffic.
