Resumo
This paper presents a study to determine the optimal support positions in bridges, as well as the optimal relation between the spans of beams, aiming both the reduction and the unifirmization of the efforts in these structures. The mathematical problem is formulated in order to minimize the maximum bending moments, taking the coordinate of each internal support as design variable. To take into account possible location limitations, size constraints are also considered in the formulation. The software developed based on this study determines the efforts in each support for load shifting along the structure by the usage of the Displacement Method, and the optimization is performed with a mathematical programming technique. The structures analyzed from the computational implementation of the idealized model point to the validation and efficiency of the proposed procedure.
