A new kind of combined finite element named three-dimensional virtual laminated element and its deduce process is introduced. The new finite element was proved to be convenient, accurate and efficient in the calculation of bridge structures by a modal test and corresponding numerical example. Then some research and discussion were done, which show that with small modal construction scale being comparative with beam element, the static and dynamic spatial behavior of complicated structures can be simulated precisely. Furthermore, it is sensitive to structural damages, and more damage information can be obtained than corresponding spatial beam element, which means it is highly promising in the application of structural damage detection.
