Abstract:Based on the main analysis methods including the classic mechanics and the finite element method, to establish analytical solutions and numerical solutions of various types of bridges under different situations to explore the mechanical behavior of bridge structures is the category of the bridge structure analysis theories. In recent years, with the emergence of new structural forms such as corrugated steel web box girder bridge, The space analysis theory of box girder and the analysis theory of cable-bearing bridge have made great progress.To meet the requirements of current bridge construction situations and to better serve the practical engineering,through reviewing related research, the present paper reports literatures into separate parts, and mainly expounds some focus issues including shear lag of box girders with corrugated steel webs, extension of traditional box girder spatial analysis theory, central tower effects of multi-tower suspension bridge, ultimate capacity of cable-supported bridges and steel-UHPC composite bridge deck system, and extends to explore shortages of box girder and cable-supported bridge refined analysis theories. It is summarized the engineering applications of the research theory, and corresponding suggestions are made to the future study.
