Abstract:Taking the Outer Qinhuai River Bridge as the engineering background, Midas Civil is used to simulate the special-shaped arch bridge. Firstly, the effects of the stiffness of the main beam and the stiffness of the arch rib on the mechanical performance of the arch bridge are discussed. Secondly, by considering the most unfavorable situation of special-shaped arch bridge structure, the strength and stiffness are checked, calculated and analyzed. In addition, the first five vibration modes and natural vibration frequencies of the bridge structure are calculated, and the dynamic characteristics are analyzed. Finally, aiming at the instability of arch rib, the stability of arch rib is designed and analyzed. The results show that the deformation and stress of the main beam and arch rib all meet the design requirements. Changing the stiffness of the main beam and arch rib in the range of 10%~20% has little effect on the structural force. As an urban traffic landscape bridge, there is still some optimizing space in the structural design of the main beam and arch rib of the Outer Qinhuai River Bridge. The natural vibration frequency of the first five modes is 0.49 ~ 1.25 Hz, and the dynamic performance is good, which provides a reference for its seismic design. The structure of the special-shaped arch bridge has good stability performance.
