Abstract:Steel truss–arch composite bridge systems are widely used in bridge engineering to provide sufficient space for double lanes. However, a lack of research exists on their mechanical performance throughout their lifespan, resulting in uncertainties regarding bearing capacity and the risk of bridge failure. This paper conducts a numerical study of the structural mechanical performance of a flexible arch composite bridge with steel truss beams throughout its lifespan to determine the critical components and their … Show more
