Automated design of the railway bridge structure

Abstract

This paper presents the design and calculations of bridge structures using modern computer technology. They provide the special capabilities necessary for the design of bridges, for example, the construction of influence lines for calculating moving loads, for calculating nodal interfaces, for checking local stability, for calculating the thermal stress state of supports, etc. The main purpose of the survey of the bridge structures was to obtain the initial data in accordance with GOST-v and SNiP-v for calculating the carrying capacity of the bridge superstructure, assessing the technical condition and developing recommendations for its further operation.
