Bridge–Vehicle Interaction in Curved Box Girder Bridges
Dynamic interaction between a moving vehicle and a bridge is a problem of considerable complexity, and its solution is governed by the dynamic characteristics of both the vehicle and bridge. The finite–element method, which is versatile and powerful, can be used to model the bridge–vehicle interaction and to obtain accurate results. Curved bridges are normally regular in geometry, and it is possible to simplify the conventional finite–element method to obtain fast results. In this paper, the spline finite–strip method of analysis is used along with a horizontally curved folded–plate model of the bridge. The vehicle is modeled as a three–axle tractor trailer combination with seven degrees of freedom.
