Abstract
An optimal solution of the hanger intersection zone in steel bridges with a suspended deck must consider the overall load application of the hanger forces into the deck. For an economic and safe design of the considered detail, the local forces to be transferred by welds must be evaluated carefully. The occurring stresses strongly depend on the occurring stiffness distribution. Based on FEM-research, simple rules for the calculation of these forces are derived for a band width which comprises a great range of reasonable dimension ratios.
