Finite Element Analysis of Steel Truss Bridge Structure Based on ANSYS

With the rapid development of bridge engineering in China, steel truss bridge is widely used with many advantages such as clear force of the structure itself, easy to analyze, and low requirement for foundation. In this paper, the finite element analysis method is adopted to analyze the stress and deformation distribution of steel truss bridge on the platform of ANSYS, a large-scale finite element analysis software. In the static analysis, by applying the vehicle load, the operation mode of the structure is simulated, and the cloud diagrams of its displacement and stress are derived. The dangerous areas of the bridge are identified to provide a reference basis for the design of steel truss bridges.
