Design Strategies for Leaning-Type Arch Bridges

Abstract

This paper presents a study on the design strategy of leaning-type arch bridges. The main characteristics of leaning-type arch bridges are first introduced; Kunshan Yufeng Bridge is taken as an example to discuss different aspects of a design strategy, which includes self-system optimization, selection of beam length and bridge deck position, and other aspects. This paper can be used as a reference to further improve and develop bridge design.
