Abstract Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge as a long-span suspension bridge, the
finite element model (FEM) of it is established using the ANSYS Software.
The beam4 element is used to simulate the main beam to establish the “spine
beam” model of the Taizhou Yangtze River Bridge. The calculated low-order
vibration mode frequency of the FEM is in good agreement with the completion
test results. The model can simulate the overall dynamic response of the bridge.
Based on the vehicle load survey, the Monte Carlo method is applied to simulate
the traffic load flow. Then the overall dynamic… More >
