Testing type:
Static 3d.
Assume it is point load is at the middle of the bridge as It will produce maximum moment and shear
force,
Constraint: The support at two ends is not movable.
Assume only vector force act at y direction. Zero vector force at x direction.
Assume 3d analysis, and the bridge is symmetrical at z and x axis.
The weight of three type of loading is base on the average weight of vehicle, which are:
Vehicle type
motorcycle
Car
Medium truck
Heavy truck
Weight(kg)
181
1500
10000
15000
Bridge model: Taylor bridge.

The distance between two support is 259m
