Abstract
The hanger arrangement in network arch bridges is fundamental to the behavior of the bridge. As by definition, a network arch is a tied-arch bridge with inclined hangers that cross each-other at least twice. In the present paper, a comparative analysis of the hanger arrangement and the stresses distribution for a road bridge with a span of 80 m was conducted. Bridge spans in most parts of Romania are small and medium, up to 100 m, therefore there is a need to investigate and come with solutions to spans in the range of 50 to 100 m. The present study was conducted for a span of 80 m, with the bridge superstructure made of steel using circular hollow cross-sections for both the arch and the tie. The permanent and live loads were applied to the bi-dimensional structure.
