Moalem Square, in center of Semnan city, I.R of Iran, is newly replaced by such a bridge to solve growing traffic problem. In design of this flyover a novel and innovative application of arch bridges is utilized. The Moalem Bridge has two main parts i.e. the central and side ramp parts. Central part is a 66 m complete arch steel span and two 24 m half arches. Side parts; contain several 18m and 15m continuous girder spans. Several detail design and analyses such as moving load, buckling, seismic load, soil-structure interaction (SSI), sensitivity and thermal effect is considered for design of Moalem Bridge. This paper tries to introduce the design concept and analyses made to check and verify its realization.
