Abstract:Taking the overall design of Yuan River No.6 Bridge in Changde as an example, the design characteristics and each factor to be considered for the long-span bridge under the complex urban site are analyzed, and the design ideas of Yuan River No.6 Bridge are expounded. The planned road network, high-voltage corridor along the line, hydrologic condition of Yuan River, seismic fault zone and other factors are comprehensively considered. The planned position of the bridge is optimized and adjusted. The position scheme of the bridge is proposed. According to the conditions of navigation requirements and planning wharf, the bridge span and type of the recommended scheme are determined. The design of bridge structure is briefly introduced and the scientific rationality of the main structures is verified.
