Influence Analysis of Lateral Connection between Track Beams of Suspended Monorail Transit Large-Span Bridges by LIU Yangming

“…［Result & Conclusion］ The lateral stiffness of the transverse beam section of the track beam has little contribution to the longitudinal displacement of the track beam, but the ability of transverse beam to limit the vertical displacement is proportional to the vertical stiffness; the dynamic response of the track beam is negatively correlated with the transverse beam density of the main span track beam; and whether the main span is equipped with transverse beams has a greater impact on the vertical dynamic response of the suspended monorail vehicle and the bridge; with a lower vehicle speed, the transverse beam has a more obvious optimization on the vehicle lateral response, while with a higher vehicle speed, it will optimize the vehicle vertical response more obviously.…”
