| Abstract: |
The benchmark design project has been proposed in IABSE 2007 Symposium in Weimar, Germany for a simply-supported composite girder highway bridge, in which the design criteria are provided for engineers to follow. There are two types of designs in the project: Design A is a free design in which only three fundamental criteria are given, and Design B is a conditional design in which additional ten criteria are provided. Ten designs from the world have participated to the project and are compared in the present paper. Each design follows the same given criteria but different design standards, and thus reflects the design policy in each country. It is interesting that the design in each country shows quite different features in many means. From the comparisons engineers will learn different perspective views in bridge design. |
