Features: SAP2000 is an excellent general-purpose finite element software for structural analysis and is one of the essential tools for structural engineers, widely used in civil engineering fields such as bridges, buildings, towers, and port and navigation. This book provides a detailed introduction to the use of the bridge module in SAP2000V9.0 (Chinese version) and illustrates the analysis of common bridge mechanical phenomena using SAP2000 through numerous examples. It covers the various characteristics of beam bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, as well as the SAP20 (D) analysis methods for double-wall steel cofferdams and high-pile wharf structures. The accompanying CD-ROM provides SAP2000 calculation data files (．SDB) for the book's examples, calculation model images (．JPG), calculation result images (．JPG), as well as the SAP2000 trial version, SAP2000 "Watch and Learn" movies, and Chinese version help files. This book is the result of the author's painstaking efforts as a frontline bridge designer, disclosing the core secrets of bridge structural analysis and summarizing the author's practical technical expertise over more than a decade. It is available for bridge and other structural engineering technicians to study and reference.
