Abstract
SIVAPRIYA, S.V.; SADHANA, S.; PRATHIBHA, N. and SARANYA, S.. Pipe bridge design optimisation through a comparative study of truss and girder arrangements. Rev.fac.ing.univ. Antioquia [online]. 2023, n.106, pp.56-65. Epub July 05, 2023. ISSN 0120-6230. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.redin.20210957.
Pipe bridges are structures that play an indispensable role in chemical and oil plants. They support cable trays or pipe-carrying material. This study aims to identify the ideal configuration of a pipe bridge through the comparative study of girders with drop hanger and truss arrangements for three different spans. The most efficient arrangement for each span was suitably identified. Through the analysis carried out, it was then identified that the Girder arrangement is suitable for smaller spans such as 15 meters; while the truss arrangement was preferable for longer spans.
