Abstract

The article provides calculation by the finite elements method of frequencies of own free fluctuations of the metal arch bridge over Staryi Dnepr river in the city of Zaporozhye, and that of the experimental model (an arch with the traffic on top). The calculation chart has been described by the finite elements method. Comparative analysis has been performed of the calculation results (FEM) with results of this bridge actual testing, including calculation according to the method proposed by the authors.
