Table 1 Deviation in Calculation Results between the Bridge Tower Solid Model and the Full-Bridge Beam-Element Model.
Model type | Support reaction (kN) | Axial stress in bridge tower (MPa) |
|---|---|---|
Solid finite element model of the bridge tower | 3.19E + 05 | − 4.12 |
Full-bridge beam-element model | 3.15E + 05 | − 4.1 |
Modeling error | 1.27% | 0.49% |
