Calculation of State Transfer of Curved Bridge

Abstract:

The field transfer matrixs and the point transfer matrixs can be established by the transfer matrix method, which can solve the internal forces and deformations problems of each cross-section, based on the solutions of deflection differential equation of the curved bridge. The bending-torsional coupling, horizontal bending and axial deformations should be considered into the structural analysis of the curved bridge, under the influence of curvature. To establish the general transfer equation requires the field transfer matrixs and the point transfer matrixs of the curved bridge in horizontal and vertical directions. The state vectors of each cross-section can be obtained depending on the general transfer equation.
