EVALUATION OF DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FOOTBRIDGE WITH INTEGRAL ABUTMENTS
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 26
Abstract
The paper presents the results of dynamic field tests and numerical analysis of the footbridge designed as a three-span composite structure with integral abutments. The adopted design solution which has allowed to achieve a high resistance of the structure to dynamic loads and to meet the requirements of the criteria of comfort of use with a large reserve has been characterized. For comparative purposes, numerical analyzes of three construction variants of the footbridge were presented: F-1 - construction with integral abutments (realized variant), F-2 - construction with girders anchored in the abutments by means of tension rocker bearings, F-3 - construction with concrete side spans.
