Numerical Simulation and Structural Optimization of Composite Rigid Frame Bridge

A composite rigid frame bridge replaces a certain portion of the concrete middle span of a bridge with a section of the steel girder. While the steel span improves the bending moment distribution of the rigid frame structure, it increases the stress level of certain cross-sections of the girder. The...
