Abstract

Tied-arch bridges are bridges that have high structural efficiency, but are prone to bending instability. This study aims to analyse the relationship between arc geometry variations and the bending stability of tied-arch bridges using the Finite Element Method (FEM) based on SAP2000 software, employing both linear and non-linear approaches. The linear analysis results show that lateral arch deformation occurs, indicating the potential for global lateral instability of the arch. Meanwhile, the non-linear analysis, which considers the significant geometry effect (P-Δ), produces a bending capacity of 7.43-11.69 kN with a maximum deflection of -0.52 mm. Variations in the arch angle were found to affect the critical bending capacity without significantly impacting global deformation. These findings are expected to serve as a valuable reference for designers and structural engineers in determining optimal and efficient arch designs.

Abstract

Tied steel arch bridges are commonly used due to their structural efficiency and aesthetic value; however, excessive mid-span deflection remains a critical design issue. While previous studies indicate that bottom bracing can enhance stiffness, the optimization of bracing configurations at the mid-span has not been sufficiently investigated. This study evaluates the influence of different bottom bracing configurations on mid-span deflection in tie-beam steel arch bridges. Numerical analysis based on the finite element method was conducted using SAP2000 v.22 on four bridge models with identical geometry, loading conditions, and a total bottom bracing weight of 10 kg. The bridge span was 4 m with an allowable deflection limit of 5 mm. The results show that all configurations satisfy the deflection criteria, with the X-bracing configuration yielding the smallest mid-span deflection. These findings contribute to the understanding of optimal bottom bracing configurations in steel arch bridge design, supporting efficient structural performance in engineering applications.
