Abstract
The research is the optimization design of the bridge from the structure of the bridge, proper material utilization, and improving the performance of the bridge. First, the static model of the bridge structure was established, and then the finite analysis and rigid body mechanics models were utilized to separately detail the dead load, live load, and exceptional load. Based on the above analyses, optimization methods such as mathematical programming and genetic algorithms were used for optimizing the design of bridge structures. The tests demonstrated that the bridge’s weight can be significantly reduced by optimal design, the efficiency of usage in materials is enhanced, and the rigidity and stability of the structure advanced significantly. It is verified through checking the comparative analysis before and after optimization that the efficiency of the optimization method has been proved and the critical application value of optimization design in bridge engineering. The research conclusions provide new ideas and methods for bridge structure design, which has important theoretical and practical significance.
