    Simulations of The Beam of The Bridge Using Abaqus

    Uploaded by

    mutuku nzomo
    The document summarizes simulations of a bridge beam conducted using Abaqus. It describes three simulations that show the beam deforming under (1) a vertical load, (2) a horizontal load, and (3) a combined vertical and horizontal load. Accompanying graphs show the displacement and stress in the beam increase proportionally with the applied load. The simulations demonstrate how the beam reacts to different types of stresses and can help assess its strength.

    Simulations of The Beam of The Bridge Using Abaqus

    The beam is seen to have deformed as a result of being subjected to a vertical load in

    the first simulation. It demonstrates that the beam is bowing outward in the shape of a curve,

    with more deformation occurring towards the ends of the beam. This picture explains why it

    is essential to take into account the difference in the stiffness and strength of the material at

    various points along the beam in order to make an appropriate assessment of how the beam

    reacts when it is loaded.


    The second simulation illustrates the movement of the beam as it is subjected to a

    horizontal load. This image can be utilized for the purpose of determining how the beam

    reacts when subjected to abrupt loads, such as the impact of a moving vehicle. It

    demonstrates how the beam moves in the direction of the applied load, with the center of the

    beam experiencing a greater amount of displacement than the outside edges. This figure also

    demonstrates how the beam is somewhat curved in the opposite direction of the load that is

    being applied. This is because the beam is generating a bending moment, which causes the

    beam to curve.

    The deformation of the beam as it is subjected to a combined vertical and horizontal

    load can be seen in the third simulation. This picture illustrates how the beam reacts when

    subjected to many forces: the center of the beam experiences the most amount of

    displacement, whereas the ends experience the least amount of displacement. This image can

    be utilized for the purpose of determining how the beam reacts when subjected to mixed

    stresses such as those posed by wind and seismic forces.


    The first graph displays, in relation to the load that was applied in the simulation, the

    displacement that the beam experienced. The graph displays the amount of displacement in

    millimeters along the vertical axis, while the amount of applied force is displayed along the

    horizontal axis in newtons. The graph demonstrates that the displacement of the beam grows

    as the load does, with the beam moving a maximum of 0.5 millimeters when subjected to a

    load of 9 kilonewtons.
    The second graph displays, in relation to the load that was applied, the stress that was

    found in the beam. The graph displays the stress in megapascals along the vertical axis of the

    graph, while the applied load in newtons is displayed along the horizontal axis. The stress in

    the beam can be seen to increase in proportion to the load, culminating in a maximum of 8

    MPa when the load is equal to 9 kilonewtons (kN).
