STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF BRIDGE PIER USING ANSYS

The main objective of this study is to explore the analysis of a bridge pier. This has entailed performing a detailed static analysis. The study deals with static structural analysis. A proper Finite Element Model is developed using Cad software Pro/E Wildfire 5.0. In this project we are doing the decrement of width of bridge pier. This project we are designed a 3D model of the bridge pier by using pro-E software and the analysis is taken by different width values of the bridge pier and simulation work is done in the ANSYS software. The study of the bridge pier is to know the variation of displacement, stresses, Quantity of steel and Quantity of concrete.
