Abstract：

The research on the mechanical characteristics, bearing capacity and early warning of bridges is of great theoretical and practical significance. The finite element method is adopted to analyze the loading conditions of an actual bridge structure. With the help of ANSYS software, a model of a five-span continuous prestressed concrete rigid frame bridge is established and numerical simulation is carried out to explore the dynamic response characteristics of the bridge and verify the rationality and correctness of the model.
