Abstract

Transportation is an integral part of social life. One of the structures that can support transportation is the bridge. The construction of the
Semujur Bridge will be planned to meet and support transportation needs. This bridge is expected to be a new connecting bridge to cut
travel time in Pangkal Pinang City. Semujur Bridge, with a width of 20 meters and a total length of 100 meters, is planned to use a steel
arch bridge because the arch bridge can reduce the bending moment on the bridge. The bridge uses a box girder cross-section because the
arch bridge with a steel box cross-section is considered more economical and has higher flexural strength and torsional stiffness. Semujur
Bridge will also have a diagonal arch. With the new construction design, it is expected to be a structurally strong bridge, both against
earthquake loads and bridge dynamic loads. As a result, in this study, it was found that the longitudinal girder WF 600x300x14x23,
transverse girder GIRDER 1500x400x30x30, tie beam BOX GIRDER2500x2000x40x40, and Macalloy 520 (M100) hanging cable with
a diameter of 97 mm.

Keywords: Box Girder, Girder, Arch Bridge, Diagonal Arch Bridge.

1. Introduction

In the current era of globalization, transportation is an integral part of social life. Most aspects of people's lives today require
transportation activities. According to KBBI, transportation can be defined as transporting or moving people or goods by various vehicles
with technological advances from one place to another. To support this, the central aspect that supports the transportation process is
infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and others [1]. Transportation as an essential sector always requires renewal to continue to improve
the safety, security, and comfort of transportation services for its users [2].
A bridge is a structure built to cross or pass over a lower obstacle, such as a strait, river, railroad, or highway. Bridges have a variety of
design forms, materials, and functions [3]. With the increase in human activities as well as meeting and supporting transportation needs,
the construction of the Semujur Bridge will be planned [4]
In addition to being an iconic architectural bridge in Pangkal Pinang City, the Semujur Bridge is considered strategic because it can cut
travel time and become a new connecting bridge in Pangkal Pinang City. Pangkal Pinang City planned the construction of the Semujur
Bridge to advance the area around the bridge, which is less developed and underdeveloped, and the Pangkal Pinang City wants to make
the area a tourist area.
The Semujur Bridge, with a width of 20 meters and a total length of 100 meters, is planned to use a steel arc bridge because the arc
bridge can reduce the bending moment on the bridge compared to a regular girder bridge [5].
According to [6], an effective steel arc bridge for a span of 100 meters uses a steel box section because arc bridges with steel box
sections are considered more economical and have higher flexural strength and torsional stiffness than frame sections. In addition, from
an architectural point of view, the arc bridge with a steel box section has a higher value and can become an iconic bridge [7].
Considering the subgrade and river conditions on the Semujur River, the arc bridge planning will use the vehicle floor below. Semujur
Bridge will also be designed with a diagonal arc. With the new construction design, it is expected to be a structurally strong bridge, both
against earthquake loads and bridge dynamic loads.

2. Methods

2.1. Arch Bridge


A bridge is valuable for continuing a road over a lower obstacle. This obstacle can be in the form of a road over water or a regular traffic
road) The bridge consists of the lower part (substructure) and the upper part (superstructure). The lower part of the bridge bears or
supports the upper part and passes the load of the upper part along with the traffic load to the subgrade. The type of bridge that is often
used is the arc bridge [3].
In general, the arch bridge is a semicircular arch bridge with abutments on both sides. The arch bridge is a bridge that includes good
bridge construction because the arc construction can provide a horizontal reaction due to the vertical load that works. It can reduce the
bending moment on the bridge more efficiently than parallel girders [8]. Semujur Bridge is planned using the diagonal arch method with
a steel box with a vehicle floor type below (Through Arch). A special steel box arc bridge review is needed to design the Semujur bridge.

Fig 1. Type of arch bridge [9]

This type of arc bridge has the location of the vehicle floor above, which directly supports the traffic load and is at the top of the arc. This
type of bridge is often used and is ideal for crossing valleys with rock soil types on the walls. The type of arc bridge with the vehicle
floor below or where the vehicle is located right at the arc spring line. This type of arc bridge can reduce the horizontal thrust received by
the arch and distribute it to the bridge girders. Therefore, it can result in a smaller bridge foundation. This type of arc bridge has the
vehicle floor in the middle of the location of the vehicle floor between the spring line and the middle of the bridge arc. This type of arc
bridge is the type that works better than other types [9].

2.2. Curved Bars


When viewed from the transverse direction, the arch bridge's curved bars generally consist of 2 parallel arcs placed respectively on the
sides of the bridge. However, many modern bridges modify this shape to add to the aesthetic value of the bridge [10]. The types of
curved bars can be seen in Figure 2.

(e)

Fig 2. Type of arch bridge [10]

Several types of curved rods from bow bridges have been built today. Here are the kinds of curved rods from bow bridges: Parallel Rod,
Single Rod, Open Parallel Rod, Non-Parallel Rod, and Diagonal Rods. Arch bridges that are often built are bridges with parallel bars.
However, some bridges are built with a single rod or as an open parallel rod without bracing for a through or a half-through bridge. The
bow bridge must sometimes have sufficient stiffness or increase lateral stability by using a rigid hanger with the vehicle floor to form a
half frame in the transverse direction. Bow bridges are also built tilted inward, called non-parallel bars [11]. In addition, there are also
special arc bridges with diagonal arcs. This bridge is rare because it requires more complex force analysis [12].

3. Methods
The methodology used in this study is to simulate the bridge model with a Diagonal Steel Box Arch Bridge. The model was made using a
structural analysis program called MIDAS Software. The methodology can be seen in Figure 3.

4.1. Bridge Technical Data


The Semujur Bridge, located in Pangkal Pinang City, is a diagonal steel arch bridge known for its sturdy design and architectural appeal.
The bridge is designed to accommodate significant traffic flow, spanning a length of 100 meters and a width of 2 x 10 meters. Its
underbuilding structure consists of two abutments, providing essential support and stability. The bridge's design and foundation are well-
suited to the local soil conditions, ensuring durability and long-term performance. Top and side views can be seen in Figure 4.

Fig 4. Top and Side View of The Semujur Bridge

4.2. Bridge Loading


4.2.1. Permanent Loads
Permanent loads consist of material-specific gravity, self-weight, and additional dead load. Material-specific gravity for dead load is
based on SNI 1725-2016 Article 7.1. Self-weight is the weight of the bridge's parts or other structural elements; nonstructural elements
are considered fixed. Self-weight is based on SNI 1726-2016 Article 7.2. Additional dead load is the weight of all materials that form a
load on the bridge, which is a nonstructural element, and its magnitude can change during its lifetime.

4.2.2. Traffic Loads


Traffic loads for bridge planning consist of "D" lane loads and "T" truck loads. The "D" lane load acts on the entire width of the vehicle
lane and exerts an influence on the bridge equivalent to an actual motorcade. The total amount of lane load "D" acting depends on the
width of the vehicle lane itself.
1. "D" lane loads
According to SNI 1725-2016 Article 8.3, lane load "D" consists of evenly divided load (BTR) and line load (BGT).
a. Divided load (BTR)
According to SNI 1725-2016 Article 8.3.1, the equally divided load (BTR) has an intensity of q kPa with the amount of q
depending on the total loaded length L can be seen in Equations 1 and 2:
If L≤30 m∶ q = 9 kPa …………………………………………………………………………………………………..(1)
If L>30 m∶ q = 9 . (0,5+15/L)kPa ……………………………………………………………………………..(2)
Where:
q is the intensity of divided load (BTR) in the longitudinal direction of the bridge (kPa)
L is the total length of the loaded bridge (meter)
b. Line load (BGT)
According to SNI 1726-2016 Article 8.3.1, the centered line load (BGT) with intensity p kN/m must be placed perpendicular to
the direction of traffic on the bridge. The intensity p is 49.0 kN/m. An illustration of the "D" lane load can be seen in Figure 5.

Fig 5. Illustration of "D" lane loads


International Journal of Engineering, Science and Information Technology, 5 (3), 2025, pp. 208-219 211

2. "T" truckloads
There is another traffic load, the "T" truckload. According to SNI 1725-2016 Article 8.4, truckload "T" cannot be used together with
load "D." Truck loads can be used for floor structure calculations. An illustration of the "T" truckload can be seen in Figure 6.

Fig 6. Illustration of "T” truckloads

3. Brake Force (TB)


According to SNI 1725-2016 Article 8.7, the brake force shall be taken as the largest of :
a. 25% of the design truck axle weight or,
b. 5% of the plan truck weight plus the load of the equally divided lane (BTR).
The brake force shall be applied to all loaded plan lanes containing traffic in the same direction. This force shall be assumed to act
horizontally at a distance of 1800 mm above the road surface in each longitudinal direction and shall be selected as the most decisive.
4. Pedestrian loading (TP)
According to SNI 1725-2016 Article 8.9, all sidewalk components wider than 600 mm must be planned to carry pedestrian loads with
an intensity of 5 kPa and are considered to work simultaneously with vehicle loads in each vehicle lane.

4.2.3. Environmental Burden


1. Temperature Load
According to SNI 1725-2016 Article 9.3.1, deformation due to uniform temperature changes can be calculated using the procedure
described in this article. This procedure can be used for bridge planning using girders made of concrete or steel. The difference
between the minimum or maximum temperature and the nominal temperature assumed in the planning shall be used to calculate the
deformation effect due to the temperature difference. The minimum and maximum temperatures shall be used as Tmindesign and
Tmaxdesign.
The deformation range due to temperature load (∆T) shall be based on the maximum and minimum temperatures defined in
Equation 3.
∆T = αL (Tmax design – Tmin design) ……………………………………………………………..…………………………(3)
Where:
L is the length of the bridge component (mm)
α is the coefficient of temperature expansion (mm/mm/ºC)
212 International Journal of Engineering, Science and Information Technology, 5 (3), 2025, pp. 208-219

2. Wind Load
The wind pressures specified in this article are assumed to be caused by a planned wind with a basic velocity (VB) of 90 to 126 km/h.
Wind loads shall be deemed to be uniformly distributed on surfaces exposed to the wind. The area considered is the area of all
components, including flooring and railing systems, taken perpendicular to the wind direction. This direction should be varied to
obtain the most harmful effect on the bridge structure or its components. Areas that do not contribute can be ignored in the planning.

……………………………………………………………………………………………..……………….(4)

Where:
VDZ = Plan wind speed at plan elevation (km/h)
V10 = Wind speed at Elevation 10 m above ground level or plan water level (km/h)
VB = Plan wind speed of 90-126 (km/h)
Vo = Wind friction speed depending on bridge conditions (km/h)
Z = Elevation of the structure measured from the ground or water surface where wind loads are considered (mm)
Zo = Friction length upstream of the bridge (mm)
3. Earthquake Load
Bridges should be planned to have a low probability of collapse but can suffer significant damage and disruption to service due to
earthquakes. Partial or complete replacement of the structure is required in some cases. The competent authority may specify higher
performance, such as operational performance.

4.2.3. Combination Loads


The load combination used according to SNI 1726-2019 is as follows:
1. Strong 1: 1.1 MS + 2MA + 1.8 LL + 1EUn
2. Strong 2: 1.1 MS + 2MA + 1.4 LL + 1EUn
3. Strong 3: 1.1 MS + 2MA + 1.4 Ews + 1EUn
4. Strong 4: 1.1 MS + 2MA + 1EUn
5. Strong 5: 1.1 MS + 2MA + 0.4 Ews + 1EUn
6. Extreme 1: 1.1 MS + 2MA + 0.5 LL + 0.3 Eqx + 1 Eqy
7. Extreme 2: 1.1 MS + 2MA + 0.5 LL + 1 Eqx + 0.3 Eqy
8. Serviceability 1: 1MS + 1MA + 1 LL + 1EWs + 1EUn
9. Serviceability 2: 1MS + 1MA + 1.3 LL + 1EUn
10. Serviceability 3: 1MS + 1MA + 0.8 LL + 1EUn
11. Serviceability 4: 1MS + 1MA + 0.7 Ews + 1Eun

4.3. Superstructure Design


Superstructure design is calculated based on the loading found on the bridge. The upper structure of the bridge is considered as Floor
Slab, Longitudinal Girder, Transverse Girder, and Wind Ties.

Fig 8. Structure Analysis with MIDAS Software


214 International Journal of Engineering, Science and Information Technology, 5 (3), 2025, pp. 208-219

The results of the structural analysis under combined loading conditions, conducted using MIDAS software, will yield internal forces
such as axial forces, shear forces, and bending moments. These forces will be the primary basis for determining the appropriate
dimensions and reinforcement requirements of structural elements, specifically, the tie beams and arches, to ensure they meet strength
and serviceability criteria following relevant design standards.

Based on the soil bearing capacity calculation results, the dimensions and specifications of the structural elements were obtained as
follows. The pilecap is planned to have a length and width of 18 meters each with a thickness of 1.5 meters. 36 planted piles support this
foundation system to support the building load evenly. To strengthen the pilecap, top and bottom reinforcement with 36 mm diameter
