Determination of the maximum stress of bridge under complicated truck train load
Abstract
This paper deals with the analysis of the maxima stress of bridge under the complicated truck train loading along two-dimension lanes. It is treated as a dynamic programming problem. The concept of “forbidden zone” is introduced. Based on this concept all the constraints of the programming problem are defined. On the basis of the theory of dynamic programming, a algorithm has been designed to find the positions for every trucks in different trains to produce the maximum stress under consideration of a bridge.
