Abstract:Take the Taiyuan East Middle Ring North Extension Expressway Project spanning Beijian River as an example, the stress analysis and the bridge type comparison of the inclined-span arch bridge are introduced. The large-scale general finite element analysis software Midas Civil is used to establish the spatial finite element calculation model to analyze and compare the stresses of three cable systems (harp type, warped surface type and fishing net type) of inclined-span arch bridges. The characteristics of each system are obtained, which can guide the stress analysis and bridge type comparison of inclined-span arch bridge.
