ABSTRACT
TI1e objective of this work is to develop a method enabling the optimal design of arch
bridges based on their modal characteristics. The relationship between the span to
rise ratio (H), monolithically connected together at the crown of the arch (M) and
arrangement of column was investigated. Based on two-dimensional analvtical
models of parabolic reinforced concrete arch bridges. the behavior of the arch with
regards to uniform load as dead load, superimposed dead load and HA and HB 30
unit live load were studied.
The load response for moment capacities. shear forces and axial forces of the arch
bridge as a behavior characteristic will be compared. Application of ST AADtt'ro
software has been used to model the arch bridge based on actual data to investigate
the effects of the span to rise ratio (H), monolithically connected together at the
crown of the arch (M) and arrangement of column.

Objckt1 f kaj1an ini di lakukan adalah untuk mem bina satu n1odel mendapatkan
rekabentuk yang optimal bagi jambatan gerbang. ITubungan di antara nisbah panjang
rentang kepada tingg1 jambatan (H), panjang sambungan binaan bersama di puncak
gcrbang yang mana di bina di antara rasuk/papak dan gerbang (M) dan susunan tiang
di selidiki. Berdasarkan model dua-dimensi, kelak.ukan jambatan gerbang konkrit
berbentuk parabohk yang berteraskan beban yang dikenakan iaitu bcban mati. beban
hidup di kaji.
Tindak balas beban seperti moment lentur, daya ricih and daya dalaman digunakan
sebagai pengukur sifat-sifat jambatan gerbang. Aplikasi perisian STAAD!Pro telah
digunakan untuk pen1odelan rekabentuk jan1batan gerbang untuk menyelidiki kesan
kriteria scperti nisbah panjang rentang kepada tinggi jambatan (H), panjang
sambungan binaan bersama di puncak gerbang yang mana di bina di antara
rasuk/papak dan gcrbang (M) dan susunan tiang.

CHAPTER 1 -INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Bridge stn1cture can be classified as the structure that needs thorough design
consideration and constnlction skills. Tt requires a handful of knowledge, experiences
and engineering judgment in order to accomplish the mo t outstanding structure in
tenns of performance, economical durability and aesthetical. The quality of a bridge
can be measured by its success in sati fying the basic objectives, functional ,
stnlctural, economic and ae thetic. Efficient structural design may be expected to
reduce construction cost and maintenance costs. It also improved the functionality of
the bridge by relaxing feasibility constraints by increa ing the service life and by
avoiding interruption in traffic due to maintenance. Excellence in tructural design
is based on a sound knowledge of structural theory, imagination and courage in the
development of new ideas and willingness to benefit from the experience of others.
Traditionally, bridge structure ere designed based on engineering theories and
previous experience, which would involved the preliminary design, structural
analysis and check against strength/stiffness/stability requirements. This is followed
by design modification, re-analysis and re-checking. Undoubtedly, such design
process is expensive and time-consuming. With the rapid development of ad anced
computer technologies, sophisticated optimum design approaches have gained
increasing popularity in recent year a they can significantly impro e the efficiency
of a design. Engineers are often confronted with the problem of choosing the correct
structural dimensions consistent with a safe, cost-effective, aesthetically appealing
balanced design .
The selection of material and structural fom1 for the main superstructure is a complex
problem and can only be determined with regard to all factors affecting the design of
a pmiicular bridge. The choice is a function of the span. It is also influenced by the
quality and cost of materials foundation condition, height to deck surface and
constraints placed by the site on erection. From the practical view, the range of span
for variou · types of superstructures as show in table 1.0
Table 1.1 : Span Lenf,rths for Various Type of Superstructure
Structural Type Range of span(m)
Slab 0 -12 Pseudo slab 10-20 Reinforced beam + slab 15 - 30 Prestressed beam + slab 20-40 Reinforced box girder 30 - 50 Pre tressed box girder 30- 100 Cable stayed 90-290 Concrete arch 90 -300 Steel arch 100 - 500 Suspension 300- 1400
The search for structures which cover long spans and large areas without
intermediate support and which do so using a minimum of materials, has long
occupied the structural engineering profession. The concrete arch bridge one of the
solutions in that problem. Therefore the arch bridge b come popular and more
favour to construct because their plea ing appearance and aesthetic elegance and also
econom1c. conomic in arch design can be achieved mainly by choosing a curve for
the centre line of the rib such that the bending moments due to loading and changes
of temperature and shrinkage is minimum.
Arch bridges are one of the olde t types of bridges and have great natural strength.
Instead of pushing stra ight do> n the weight of an arch b1idge is carried outward
along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end.
In Malaysia, roadways are the most common modes of transportation. These are the
principal form of tTansportation compare to the water and air transport. It is natural
that new roadways and consequently new bridge are being built as part of
infrastructure development work. Based on data from JK.R, the longest steel arch
bridge in Malaysia is Sultan Iskandar Bridge, comprising of seven spans with a total
length of 284m. This bridge was constructed in 1932 and was repaired in 1985.
The historical bridge and know as The Merdeka Bridge to commemorate Malava·s
independence was constructed using tied arch bridge system. where the main
material are concrete. This bridge has 13 spans with total length of 273m and was
reconstructed around 1957 after bombed during the Second World War.
The famous arches bridge is located at Route Bl5 (called as Putrajaya Bridge BRl)
where is a part of upgrading of the route B 15, to allow traffic access between the
road of B 15 and the LD P. the SKVE and Putrajaya which were design based on fixed
system and justified to construct because of their superior aesthetic qualities. The
bridge was completed construct in 1999 and will be chosen as a studying parameter
in this project.
