Abstract:The lateral force of asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with high and low towers is one of the keys of its structural analysis, which is of great significance to the safety and durability of the bridge structure. In this paper, based on an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with high and low towers, the bar model and solid finite element model are established respectively, the transverse force is numerically analyzed, and the force law of the structure under multiple working conditions is studied; Comparing the calculation results of the two models, the analysis shows that the stress difference between the two models under live load is 0.5 ~ 2MPa, which is basically the same under crowd load, and the bar model is more conservative than the solid model.
