A finite element model is appropriately developed for this example bridge using the commercial software Midas/Civil.
This paper combines the lateral displacement problem of a viaduct as the research background of the engineering to carry out in-depth research on lateral displacement of curved continuous concrete girder bridges.
This paper carries out analog simulation calculation for the aforesaid conditions based on spatial beam element by means of space finite element software MIDAS\Civil, so as to determine the main reasons for the lateral displacement of the curved bridges.

Structural Response of Sandwich Beams with Different Facing Materials Subjected to Bending Iuliana DUPIR (HUDIȘTEANU)1,a*, Nicolae ȚĂRANU1,b, Cristina VLĂDOIU1,c, Dragoș UNGUREANU1,d and Vlad LUPĂȘTEANU1,e 1“Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Building Services, Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, no. 1, Prof.dr.doc.
Sandwich elements with structural functions are widely used in engineering applications, offering outstanding advantages, such as high strength and stiffness compared to its low specific weight.
As a result of their low weight and superior flexural properties, sandwich structures are finding increasing use in a wide range of engineering structures, such as cladding elements or bearing structural elements [2-4].
