OVERVIEW

The Andy Warhol Bridge is an eyebar-chain, self-anchored suspension bridge carrying Seventh Street over the Allegheny River in the city of Pittsburgh, PA. This bridge is one of the "Three Sisters" bridges constructed from 1924 to 1928 which comprise the only trio of identical, side-by-side bridges in the world and the first self-anchored bridges constructred in the United States.


Scheduled for rehabilitation in 2016 thru 2017, the bridge was modeled in 3D in midas Civil to evaluate global effects of transverse live load distribution, determine allowable procedure for deck removal and replacement, identify structural steel repairs, and evaluate the bridge for a condition where pedestrians are the only live load. This was accomplished in addition to providing verification of the forces within the unique system of a self-anchored suspension bridge.

 

The webinar will highlight how Midas was used to the design of the new structure. It will also cover points including how construction sequence was considered, and some aspects regarding the seismic behavior.

Key Point

Key point 1 : Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge (SASB) Mechanics

This session will show the mechanics of self-anchored suspension bridges comparing of traditional suspension bridges. We will see some theories of suspension bridges, considerations, and etc..

 

Key point 2 : Create Finite Element Model for SASB for various purposes

We will see how to create an element model of suspension bridges with midas Civil. Let's go through the modeling process for suspension bridges.

 

Key point 3 : Results & Verification (Expectations vs. Reality)

Lastly, we will compare between expections and reality with results of midas Civil, the plan sheet forces, and the elastic theory.
