Structural analysis is a crucial discipline within civil engineering that ensures built structures are safe, durable, and capable of performing the functions for which they are intended. This scientific approach is essential for confirming that all safety requirements are met, thereby allowing structures to fulfill their purpose efficiently and economically over their design lifespan. The principles of structural analysis originate from the collaborative efforts of engineers across various domains, all sharing a common objective: to create structures that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective. At its core, structural analysis involves the application of mechanical theories and adherence to physical laws to predict and evaluate the behavior of structures under various loads and environmental conditions. The primary focus of this study is to develop comprehensive 2D and 3D models for the design and analysis of a pedestrian bridge spanning 60 m. The research involves conducting a static structural analysis for the bridge under different design configurations, including variations in width and cross-sectional geometry. The aim is to understand how different design parameters influence the bridge’s performance, specifically in terms of stress distribution and displacement when subjected to static loads. In addition to static loading conditions, the study also evaluates the thermal effects on the bridge structure by analyzing how temperature variations impact its structural behavior. This dual approach: combining both static and thermal analysis, provides a more complete understanding of the bridge’s performance under real-world conditions. The results of this comprehensive analysis will identify the most suitable bridge design by comparing different configurations based on stress concentration, displacement, and thermal resilience. The findings will ultimately contribute to optimizing pedestrian bridge design for improved safety, structural efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in future infrastructure projects.

Keywords: Pedestrian bridge, static structural analysis, thermal analysis, ANSYS, stresses, displacement
