The Comparison between the Results of the two-dimensional and Three-dimensional Models of Vehicle Bridge Interaction

The two-dimensional models of vehicle bridge interaction have been used widely for the last decades. The current fast development in the computer technology has been resulting to extensive possibilities of creation of more precise models of bridge structures as well as vehicle models. The influence of three-dimensional geometry on the results of selected points located on the model of the bridge are presented. In this case, a simple shape of the bridge was used to demonstrate the space effect on the response of model of the bridge structure.
