| Abstract: |
The Cherry St North, Commissioners St, and Cherry St South bridges are a series of four signature steel tied arch bridges located in Toronto, Canada. The bridges are being constructed over the Keating Channel and a new extension of the Don River. The arch legs of the bridges are composed of non-prismatic open sections using curved plates. The centre domes at the tops of the arches are also composed of open steel plate sections with plates in double curvature. Steel plate hanger from the arches to the closed steel box tie girders serve to transfer the superstructure gravity loads to the arches. The in-plane and out-of-plane structural stability of the non-prismatic open section arch legs required detailed consideration during design. This paper discusses the various approaches used to analyse and design the arch legs, including the use of approximate methods. |
