Abstract:With the abundance of material life, the people's pursuit of beauty is getting higher and higher. The traditional bridge design principle that prioritizes functionality while taking aesthetics into account is gradually shifting towards giving equal weight to both functionality and aesthetics. Taking the footbridge of Pukou Park as an example, the modeling characteristics, structural combination mode and component connection details of the special-shaped landscape footbridge composed of columns, tie bars, diagonal bracing and steel plate beams are introduced. Differing from the traditional bridge expansion devices generally set at the bridge pier and abutment positions, the bridge expansion device is set at the mid span of the bridge, and its stress characteristics are not to transmit the axial force, but bear the shear force and bending moment.
